Li-Ning Ultralight 2025 (ABAV007) — Ultra-Lightweight Guard Basketball Shoe

Inspired by retro supercar design, the Li-Ning Ultralight 2025 is one of the lightest performance basketball shoes on the market, weighing just 258 grams (US Size 9). Engineered for quick-twitch point guards and slashing wings who demand maximum court feel, transition speed, and first-step acceleration.

Key Performance Technologies

• Next-Gen Dual-Layer Cushioning: A Light Foam Ultra midsole frame paired with high-rebound Super BOOM cushioning pods delivers an efficient 89% energy return without sacrificing low-profile court feel.
• BOOM FIBER Upper Matrix: Advanced thermoplastic threads woven into a breathable "silk" matrix, reinforced by monofilament mesh and TPU skins for stretch resistance and a locked-in fit.
• Decoupled GCU Traction Complex: A Ground Control Unit polyurethane compound on the forefoot delivers elite sticky indoor grip, paired with a durable TUFF OS rubber heel to absorb friction during hard stops.
• Anti-Rollover Lateral Outrigger: A forked TPU torsional midfoot plate integrated into a lateral outrigger modeled after a supercar's air-intake grille for superior lateral stability.

Sizing & Fit Guide

• Narrow to Medium Feet: Go true to size (TTS) for a secure, 1-to-1 locked-in fit.
• Wide / Flat Feet: The toe pocket features a flattened, snug layout. Wide-footers or players with thick feet should go up a half size to prevent pinky-toe pinching.
• Weight & Position Optimization: Fine-tuned for athletic profiles weighing 132–176 lbs (60–80 kg). Heavier post players may experience bottomed-out cushioning and should consider the Yushuai or Way of Wade lines instead.
