195 Grams. Zero Compromise.
The Li-Ning Super Light 23 "Black" (ARBW017-4) is a high-performance, ultra-lightweight daily trainer weighing a featherlight 195 grams (men's size 42). Engineered for 3–10km short-to-mid distance runs, tempo workouts, and everyday active wear, it prioritizes a weightless underfoot feel without sacrificing structural stability.
🎨 Design Concept
The "Black" edition strips away flashiness for a stealth, high-utility sportswear aesthetic.
- Monochromatic Chassis: Every major element — from the advanced woven yarn upper to the foam stack and outsole rubber — is saturated in deep black.
- Aerodynamic Profile: Low-slung collar line with an integrated pull system to maintain a sleek, drag-free shape.
- Organic Stability Lines: The lower midfoot frame utilizes a bird-bone-inspired geometric structure that arches up to cradle the heel smoothly.
⚡ Performance Breakdown
The 23rd iteration of the Super Light series updates the foam density and broadens the strike zones for a friendlier, more forgiving landing matrix.
| Feature | Engineering & Materials | On-Road Performance |
|---|---|---|
| Midsole Cushioning | Widened BOOM Supercritical Foam | Strategically thickened at primary load zones (forefoot and heel) to absorb heavy ground vibrations while snapping back instantly. |
| Ride Transition | TEMPO BOUNCE Compound | Low-density, high-elasticity structural matrix layer that adds a signature "light & soft" rebound feel through your stride. |
| Underfoot Stability | One-Piece Nylon Torsional Shank | Embedded tightly inside the arch to control lateral bending and seamlessly roll your energy forward from heel to toe. |
| Upper Construction | Breathable BOOM FIBER Silk | Interwoven textile matrix that is incredibly thin and highly porous — sheds weight while locking down the foot shape securely. |
| Outsole Durability | Expanded Grip Rubber Pods | Extra rubber coverage across high-wear zones provides reliable non-slip traction on wet pavements. |
👟 Sizing Advice & Fit Profile
The Super Light 23 uses a specialized speed-oriented athletic last that locks down securely over the bridge.
- Narrow to Standard Feet: Go True to Size (TTS). Conforms perfectly to standard width feet with appropriate clearance up front — expect a reassuringly snug, high-security performance lock.
- Wide Feet / High Insteps: Go up a Half Size (0.5 US). The shoe runs a bit low in vertical volume across the toe box — wide-footers will want the extra breathing room to prevent hot spots.
- Gusset Note: The tongue uses a light, un-gusseted build. Flatten it out smoothly when sliding the shoe on to lock in your preferred midfoot tension.
