The Li-Ning JB5 "Dark Knight" ABAW079-3 is Jimmy Butler's fifth signature basketball shoe, pairing a streamlined low-top profile with dual-layer Super BOOM cushioning and carbon-fiber support for indoor court play. Also known as "Darkest Knight" (至暗骑士), this edition features a black upper with silver-gray flowing lines and a sculpted lateral stabilizer.
Design and containment
- Blade-inspired detailing: The design draws on the model's unveiling at Moganshan and its sword-forging heritage.
- Low-profile construction: A lower center of gravity, elongated forefoot wrap, thin molded tongue, and concealed metal lace eyelets create a streamlined court silhouette.
- Lateral support: A molded TPU heel counter and triangular lateral stabilizer help contain the foot during changes of direction.
- Flexible KPU upper: A lightweight textile base with a patterned polyurethane KPU shell balances forefoot flexibility with lateral containment.
Cushioning and traction
- Dual-layer Super BOOM: Two foam layers provide responsive cushioning and impact protection.
- Carbon-fiber plate: Positioned between the cushioning layers to provide structural support and torsional rigidity.
- Full-length GCU outsole: A polyurethane Ground Control Unit outsole uses branching traction patterns and heel wrap-up coverage for grip during indoor play.
Fit and sizing
The JB5 has a snug, streamlined performance fit for a locked-in court feel. Choose your usual men's basketball shoe size for standard-width feet worn with basketball socks. If you have wide feet or prefer extra toe-box room, consider going up half a size. Check the available US, UK, and EU size labels before selecting.
