Li-Ning Liren 4 V2 "Monologue" — Pure White Guard Basketball Shoe

Also marketed internationally as the "Purity" / "Pure White" edition, the Li-Ning Liren 4 V2 "Monologue" (ABAU059-5) was released in May 2024. A pristine, all-white minimalist monochromatic aesthetic spans the entire upper, midsole, and hardware frame — designed for players who prefer a clean, understated look on the court.

Highly engineered for shifty guards and perimeter wings who require an optimal mix of a low-to-the-ground ride, rapid directional transition, and strong midfoot security.

Core Performance Technologies

• Caged BOOM Midsole Core: A full-length Li-Ning BOOM supercritical foam core tightly encapsulated within a firmer structural carrier frame delivers exceptional impact absorption and instantaneous energy return without feeling sloppy or unstable.
• Mesh Strobel Blueprint: A soft mesh strobel board directly under the insole (replacing the dense foam strobel of the mid-top Liren 4) reduces extreme vertical pop slightly to prioritize a more stable, ground-connected court feel and smooth underfoot step-in comfort.
• Ultra Shell Upper Structure: Lightweight woven textiles combined with high-strength heat-melt synthetic layers create a highly breathable, non-stretch perimeter that firmly locks the foot down during explosive changes of direction.
• PROBAR LOC Arch Protection: A robust PROBAR LOC torsional stabilizer plate working in tandem with a bottom-loaded carbon fiber shank limits physical arch twisting and smoothly transfers kinetic energy from heel to toe.

Traction & Court Performance

• Multi-Directional Rubber Outsole: A premium, non-marking high-traction rubber outsole molded in a dense grid pattern delivers a rapid, squeaky, dead-stop bite on clean indoor hardwood and synthetic PVC mat surfaces, handling court dust efficiently.
• Outdoor Warning: The shallow and precise traction grooves will accelerate tread wear on rough outdoor concrete or asphalt. Strongly recommended for indoor courts to maximize grip lifespan.

Sizing & Fit Guide

• Standard / Narrow Feet: Go true to size (TTS) for a locked-in, 1-to-1 performance fit with zero internal foot sliding.
• Wide Footers & High Insteps (2E+): The Ultra Shell mesh and rigid TPU frame provide virtually zero stretch. Wide-footed players must go up a half size to prevent side pinching or top-of-foot pressure.
