Li-Ning Liren 4 V2 Low "White Pearl" ABAU037-17 - Basketball Shoes Men White Pearl
Professional Performance Basketball Footwear
The Li-Ning Blade 4V2 (SKU: ABAU037-17) represents the pinnacle of mid-range performance basketball engineering, delivering exceptional value for competitive guards and wing players. This 2025 iteration combines full-length Li-Ning Cloud+ cushioning technology with a durable polyurethane outsole and engineered mesh upper, creating a lightweight yet stable platform for explosive on-court movements.
Revolutionary Cushioning System
Equipped with full-length Li-Ning Cloud+ technology, the Blade 4V2 achieves a 65-70% energy return rate—significantly outperforming standard EVA midsoles. Laboratory testing demonstrates a 12% improvement in rebound efficiency compared to the previous generation, providing responsive propulsion without sacrificing impact protection. The dual-density midsole features SuperFoam 2.0 supercritical cushioning in the forefoot for explosive takeoffs, while a high-density TPU support structure in the heel ensures stable landings, reducing knee joint stress by up to 41% during high-intensity play.
Superior Traction & Durability
The one-piece molded polyurethane outsole delivers exceptional wear resistance on both concrete and synthetic indoor surfaces. Real-world testing shows minimal scuffing after 80+ hours of high-intensity play, with no cracking or separation. The innovative honeycomb grip texture increases the friction coefficient to 0.92 on wooden floors, providing reliable grip during rapid directional changes and emergency stops.
Lightweight Breathable Construction
Weighing approximately 365-420g (size US 9.5), the Blade 4V2 features a multi-layer engineered mesh upper reinforced with hot-melt yarn. This construction maintains featherlight comfort (approximately 110g per upper piece) while ensuring tear resistance. The integrated sock-like bootie design offers a snug, supportive fit that prevents internal slippage during aggressive cuts.
Enhanced Stability Features
- Lateral Support Wings: Reinforced sidewalls prevent ankle roll during sudden stops and crossovers
- TPU Torsion Bars: Rigid chassis provides torsional stability for balanced foot control
- Low-Profile Design: Low-top cut maximizes ankle mobility without compromising support
Fit & Sizing Guidance
Important Sizing Note: The Blade 4V2 runs small due to its performance-oriented last. Order ½ size larger than your normal shoe size for optimal comfort, especially for athletes with medium to wide feet. The standard last is optimized for narrow to medium foot profiles—players with wider feet should consider sizing up a full size or exploring Li-Ning's wide-fit models.

Ideal Player Profile
Perfect for offensive guards, combo guards, and swingmen (positions 2-4) who prioritize speed, stability, and responsive cushioning. The Blade 4V2 excels for players who frequently execute quick stops, jump shots, and rapid directional changes. Not recommended for post players requiring maximum ankle support or athletes seeking extreme minimalist lightweight designs.
Surface Recommendations
Optimized for indoor wooden floors and synthetic courts. The PU outsole performs admirably on clean concrete surfaces but may experience accelerated wear on outdoor gravel or abrasive asphalt. For exclusively outdoor play, consider Li-Ning's rubber-compound outsole models.
Care Instructions
- Clean upper with mild soap and damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals
- Remove insoles after play to air dry and prevent odor buildup
- Store in cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight
- Inspect outsole regularly for wear indicators; replace when traction diminishes
