Li-Ning Liren 4 V2 "White Pearl"
The Li-Ning Liren 4 V2 "White Pearl" (also known as the "Sharp Edge 4 V2") is a low-top performance basketball shoe featuring a clean, solid white colorway with a style code of ABAU037-7. The shoe is part of Li-Ning's popular Liren line and was released in early 2024.
Design & Aesthetics
The "White Pearl" colorway offers a minimalist and pure aesthetic with its entirely white base. The design focuses on a clean, sharp look that stands out on the court for its simplicity and elegance, contrasting with some of the more vibrant colorways in the series, such as the "Ammonite" pink or "Firefly" green versions.
Performance Technology
The Liren 4 V2 model is highly regarded for its performance features and lightweight construction.
· Cushioning: The midsole incorporates full-length Li-Ning Boom technology (a PEBA-based supercritical foam) for responsive, bouncy cushioning and excellent shock absorption.
· Stability & Support: A Probar Loc TPU plate in the arch enhances anti-torsion performance and arch support, connecting the forefoot and heel for stability during sharp movements. It also features an internal and external heel cage for secure lockdown.
· Traction & Durability: The outsole is made of a durable rubber compound with a multi-directional tread pattern, providing strong grip and consistent hard stops on various court surfaces. The "PF" version of the shoe (Performance Fit) typically has a more durable outsole suited for outdoor use.
· Upper: The upper uses a mix of textiles, synthetic overlays, and "double helix TPU silk" to balance breathability, support, and a secure, "locked-in" feel.
