Li-Ning BadFive Sniper 2 Super — Built for the Blacktop

The Li-Ning BadFive Sniper 2 (ABFW013) is a high-performance basketball line engineered under Li-Ning's culture-driven BadFive streetball umbrella. Designed to handle the brutal physics of concrete blacktops and asphalt courts, the Sniper 2 prioritizes supreme outsole durability and high-impact structural stability — without sacrificing elite performance cushioning.

Performance Architecture

• Midsole Cushioning: Full-length Super BOOM nitrogen-infused foam nodes paired with a Light Foam Ultra carrier. Prevents foam bottoming-out on concrete while delivering explosive court feel and plush impact absorption.
• Aviation-Grade Upper: Dense woven mesh frame built with BOOM Fiber technology — highly breathable yet tightly engineered to resist tearing against asphalt and opponent contact.
• Lateral Wall Stabilizer: A sharp external TPU chassis wraps the lateral forefoot and midfoot walls, anchoring the foot securely over the footbed and blocking rollover injuries during quick cuts and sudden deceleration.
• Outsole Durability: Li-Ning's flagship DBR (Durable Butadiene Rubber) compound with deep, wide-grooved traction layout engineered to channel outdoor dust and maintain multi-directional grip on rough surfaces.

Notable Colorways

• "Thermal Imaging" (ABFW013-8): Heat-map visual indicators across overlays against a dark, high-contrast base.
• "Endless Sunset" (ABFW013-5): Gradient layout blending warm sky tones — white, pink, and deep red accents.
• "Petri Dish" / "Ultimate Life Body": Neon greens, organic biological textures, and glow-in-the-dark TPU accents inspired by cellular mutations.
