Li-Ning Gamma 1 "Crimson Moon" - Carrot Orange Basketball Shoes for Men

The Li-Ning Gamma 1 "Crimson Moon" (also referred to as "Red Moon") is a high-performance, lightweight basketball shoe in a vibrant orange colorway, designed to capture the intensity and energy of a celestial explosion and built for speed on the court. 

Design and Aesthetics

· Color Scheme: The shoe features a striking, vibrant violent orange or carrot orange base color, sometimes described as red.

· Inspiration: The design is inspired by the "Red Moon," a celestial phenomenon. The concept is that a stronger external stimulus results in a stronger visual effect, which aligns with the shoe's powerful on-court performance under pressure.

· Finish: Special technology, including nano-optics and electroplating on the TPU elements, gives the shoe a dazzling gloss and ensures the finish is durable and will not peel off. 

Key Features and Technology

This colorway shares the core performance features of the Gamma 1, designed as a lightweight "racing machine" for agility and speed: 

· Cushioning: Features a full-length Li-Ning BOOM technology midsole, made from high-resilience PEBAX material for superior energy return and shock absorption.

· Propulsion System: The Carbon Core Drive System integrates a beveled, full-length carbon fiber plate within the BOOM foam to provide stability and powerful energy release for quick cuts and acceleration.

· Lightweight: A single shoe in US size 9 weighs below 300 grams (around 295g), making it one of the lightest professional basketball shoes available.

· Traction and Support: The shoe is engineered for stability and includes an upgraded anti-slip outsole for secure grip on various surfaces, along with a PENTA-S support system to lock the foot in place.
