Li-Ning’s Ultra Light 2025 basketball shoes have recently ignited discussions in the sneaker community, particularly for their bold "Yellow" colorway that combines vibrant aesthetics with cutting-edge performance. Designed to redefine lightweight basketball footwear, these shoes weigh a mere 9.38 ounces while integrating advanced technologies like Tough OS rubber outsole and GCU (Ground Control Unit) for superior traction on both indoor and outdoor courts1. The midsole’s dual-layer cushioning system—combining Light Foam and Super Boom foam—provides a responsive yet comfortable experience, challenging the stereotype that lightweight shoes sacrifice cushioning.
The upper utilizes Boom Fiber and Hot Melt TPU materials, ensuring breathability and durability without adding bulk. A standout feature is the translucent toe section, enhancing ventilation during intense gameplay1. While the model’s price tag of $150 has drawn some criticism, its performance justifies the investment for athletes prioritizing agility and support.
