LiNing Men's Blade 4V2 Pink Basketball Shoes - Cushioning, Traction, Support
Product Overview
The Li-Ning Blade 4V2 (LiRen 4 V2) in vibrant pink is a high-performance low-top basketball shoe engineered for agile guards and versatile wing players who demand explosive speed without sacrificing stability. Weighing approximately 380g (size US 9), this 2025 model combines supercritical foam cushioning with advanced anti-torsion technology, delivering professional-grade responsiveness for competitive indoor play.
Key Performance Technologies
- Full-Length Li-Ning BOOM Cushioning: PEBA-based supercritical foam midsole provides 65-70% energy return rate, absorbing impact while delivering immediate propulsive feedback. Lab-tested to reduce knee stress by 41% during repetitive jumping.
- Probar Loc Stability System: Integrated TPU arch plate connects forefoot and heel, preventing midfoot torsion and ensuring secure lockdown during sharp cuts and directional changes.
- Dual-Heel Cage Design: Internal and external heel counters eliminate slippage and provide battle-ready containment for aggressive movements.
Upper Construction & Breathability
The engineered mesh upper features double helix TPU silk reinforcement, balancing featherlight comfort (110g per panel) with tear-resistant durability. Multi-layer weaving with hot-melt yarn overlays delivers targeted support zones while maintaining 30% better airflow than traditional synthetic leather. The sock-like bootie construction ensures a "locked-in" fit, though players with wider forefeet should consider sizing up.
Outsole & Traction System
Equipped with a durable Tuff RB rubber compound featuring multi-directional honeycomb tread pattern, the Blade 4V2 achieves a 0.92 friction coefficient on indoor wooden floors (SGS Certified). The outsole's strategic flex grooves promote natural foot motion while maintaining hard-stop capability, making it ideal for quick stops and explosive first steps.
Target Athlete Profile
✔ Optimal For: Offensive guards, combo guards, and swingmen (positions 2-4) who prioritize speed, quick stops, and jump shooting
✔ Playing Style: Fast break specialists, high-frequency cutters, players averaging 15+ points per game
✔ Weight Support: Recommended for athletes up to 85kg; heavier players may prefer double-stacked cushioning models
Fit & Sizing Guidance
