Li-Ning Ultralight 2025 "Green Week" — Fred VanVleet Player Exclusive

Designed exclusively for Fred VanVleet of the Houston Rockets, the Li-Ning Ultralight 2025 "Green Week" (ABAV007-27) is a player-exclusive low-top colorway that fuses VanVleet's exacting technical demands as a floor general with the Ultralight series' signature supercar-inspired speed lines.

A deep forest/medium green base upper is balanced by stark black structural overlays and clean white branding hits — a nod to Houston's custom alternate court palettes. Weighing just 258–275 grams, it ranks among the absolute lightest low-top options on the hardwood, with a cutaway ankle profile that opens full rotational freedom for shifty point guards executing sudden cross-court drives.

Premium Guard-Focused Technologies

• Super BOOM + Light Foam Ultra Cushioning: Localized, high-propulsion Super BOOM supercritical foam pods are embedded into the forefoot and heel inside a continuous Light Foam Ultra structural carrier frame, achieving a snappy 89% energy return without raising your center of gravity or sacrificing close-to-court feel.
• BOOM FIBER Silk Matrix Upper: The green upper is built from high-tensile BOOM FIBER technology — thermoplastic elastomer threads woven into a breathable, ultra-thin silk matrix that prevents the shoe from stretching out or losing structural form during aggressive deceleration.
• Dual-Compound Decoupled Outsole: The forefoot implements a highly reactive GCU (Ground Control Unit) polyurethane shell for an incredibly sticky, zero-slip indoor bite. The heel features tough, heavy-wear TUFF OS rubber to resist landing friction.
• Anti-Rollover Lateral Outrigger: A wide, rigid forked midfoot TPU plate branches into a lateral side outrigger modeled after a sports car's side air-intake vent, preventing uncomfortable arch twisting and foot rollover.

Sizing & Fit Advice

• Standard / Narrow Feet: Go true to size (TTS). The interior sleeve uses a streamlined, low-volume profile that wraps the foot securely with zero internal dead space.
• Wide or Flat Feet (2E+): The front toe pocket features a distinctly flattened layout. Wide-footers or players with high arches should go up a half size to prevent pinky-toe crowding or top-of-foot pinching.
• Player Weight Notice: Finely calibrated for light-to-medium guards weighing roughly 132–176 lbs (60–80 kg). Heavier power forwards or rim-protectors may bottom out the thin foam pods and should lean toward the Way of Wade 10 or Yushuai 20.
