Li-Ning LiRen 5 V2 "Over Mountain" - Mismatched Basketball Shoes Mens Neon Green Purple
The Li-Ning LiRen 5 V2 "Over Mountain" Mismatched Basketball Shoes are a popular release often referred to as the "Mandarin Duck" (鸳鸯) colorway in Chinese markets due to their mismatched left and right shoe design.
Design and Inspiration
The "Over Mountain" colorway features a distinctive mismatched design where the left and right shoes have different primary accent colors, typically involving a mix of green, blue, and orange on a predominantly white base. The "Mandarin Duck" nickname is a common term used in Chinese sneaker culture for any shoe that intentionally uses different color schemes on each foot, symbolizing the male and female mandarin ducks that mate for life.
