Performance Technology
The Liren 3 V2 is a highly regarded basketball shoe, praised for its excellent balance of cushioning, stability, and traction.
· Cushioning: Features full-length Li-Ning Boom technology (a supercritical PEBA foam) for excellent energy return and impact protection.
· Stability: A Probar Loc stabilizing device, which includes a carbon fiber plate in the arch, connects the forefoot and heel to provide robust torsional support and improve stability.
· Upper: The upper uses Boom Fiber (a lighter, stronger, and more breathable material) combined with a dynamic wrapping system to provide a secure, mid-section fit.
· Traction: The outsole uses durable TUFF RB rubber with a radial herringbone pattern for high wear resistance and excellent grip on various court surfaces.
