Li-Ning Mage ESS — Stealth Black, Elite Performance
The same championship-level technology. A blacked-out attitude. The Li-Ning Mage ESS in Black (APPU021-8) is the professional black colorway of Li-Ning's 2025 flagship table tennis shoe — technically identical to the APPU021-7 and associated with elite athletes like Wang Chuqin. Built for high-intensity competition and training, it combines a curved carbon fiber forefoot plate, 360° TPU lateral support, and a TUFF OS non-marking outsole into one of the lightest indoor court shoes available — approximately 40g lighter than many standard competitors.
Core Performance Features
- Curved Carbon Fiber Forefoot Plate — Positioned in the forefoot power zone to deliver explosive rebound and reduce ground reaction time during lateral bursts and quick direction changes.
- 360° TPU Wraparound Support Sheet — Full wraparound lateral stability system significantly improves support during sudden stops and side-to-side movements — critical for aggressive footwork styles.
- Li-Ning Cloud ("Light Bullet") Midsole — Dynamic foam technology provides superior shock absorption and lightweight energy return for all-day training and match play.
- BOA Fit System — Micro-adjustable lacing system allows for quick, precise fitting — no loose laces, no mid-match adjustments.
- TUFF OS Non-Marking Outsole — Ultra-durable rubber with superior grip on slippery wooden floors, significantly more wear-resistant than standard rubber and competition-legal on any court.
- Microfiber + Mesh Upper — Breathable composite upper keeps feet dry during long matches and extended training sessions.
- Anti-Collision Toe Design — Reinforced toe area protects against abrasions and impact injuries during aggressive court coverage.
