Design and Aesthetics

Performance and Technology
The Li-Ning Speed 12 is highly rated by guards and players who rely on speed and sharp movements.
· Traction: The shoe features Li-Ning's GCU (Ground Control System) outsole, known for its very strong, tacky grip on various court surfaces. Reviewers note it performs well on dusty courts with occasional wiping and produces a loud "squeak" (indicating excellent grip).
· Cushioning: It uses full-length Li-Ning Boom technology (supercritical foam), which provides significant weight reduction, improved rebound performance, and enhanced cushioning compared to traditional materials.
· Stability & Lockdown: The shoe offers great containment and a secure lockdown fit, including substantial padding around the ankle and heel collars. It incorporates a PROBAR LOC stabilizer for anti-torsion support and wide, flared outriggers for stability during hard cuts and quick lateral movements.
· Upper: The upper uses a SOLID SYSTEM of compression and support, combining synthetic leather, fabric, textile, and TPU materials for a balance of breathability and structure.
