Product Overview
The Li-Ning Blade 4V2 (SKU: ABAU037-9) is a high-value performance basketball shoe engineered for agile guards and versatile wing players. This 2025 model combines advanced cushioning technology with a lightweight, breathable design, delivering exceptional court feel and responsiveness for competitive play.
Key Performance Features
- Full-Length Supercritical Cushioning: Equipped with Li-Ning's Cloud+ technology featuring supercritical foam midsole, providing 65-70% energy return rate. The dual-core system includes SuperFoam 2.0 in the forefoot for explosive rebound and high-density TPU in the heel for impact protection, reducing knee stress by up to 41% during jumps.
- Advanced Slip-Resistant Traction: Multi-directional honeycomb grip pattern on the durable rubber outsole achieves a friction coefficient of 0.92 on indoor wooden floors. The PROBAR LOC stabilizing device (TPU/carbon fiber) embedded in the arch enhances torsional rigidity and prevents lateral rollover during sharp cuts.
- Lightweight Breathable Upper: Engineered mesh construction with integrated TPU silk reinforcement keeps each shoe at approximately 346-365g (size US 9). The multi-layer woven design maintains structural integrity while offering 30% better breathability than synthetic leather alternatives, keeping feet cool during 90+ minutes of continuous play.
- Enhanced Support System: Features an internal/external heel cage for superior lockdown, reinforced sidewalls to prevent foot roll, and a sock-like bootie construction that delivers a secure, adaptive fit.
