Li-Ning Liren 4 V2 "Rouge Tender" ABAU061-2 - Basketball Shoes Men Red Beige
Product Overview
The Li-Ning Blade 4 V2 Basketball Shoes in striking Samba Red deliver exceptional on-court performance for the modern player. Released in late 2024, this mid-range performance shoe combines stable support with dynamic rebound, making it the go-to choice for guards and forwards who prioritize speed, agility, and reliability.
Key Features & Technologies
- Polyurethane (PU) Outsole: One-piece molded construction offers superior abrasion resistance and structural stability compared to traditional EVA or rubber composites. Performs exceptionally well on indoor wooden floors and synthetic surfaces, maintaining grip after extensive use.
- Full-Length Li-Ning Cloud+ Cushioning: Advanced midsole technology provides 78% vertical impact absorption with a rapid 0.12-second rebound response time. The high-density foam material delivers a "soft but not squishy, springy but not wobbly" feel, perfect for frequent stops, jumps, and quick directional changes.
- Lightweight Breathable Mesh Upper: Double-layer jacquard woven mesh with hot-melt yarn reinforcement keeps feet dry and comfortable during intense gameplay. The sock-like inner bootie construction provides a snug, adaptive fit while maintaining featherlight performance (approximately 110g per piece).
- TPU Support & Anti-Torsion System: Reinforced sidewalls and integrated TPU components prevent lateral rollover and provide torsional stability, reducing injury risk during aggressive cuts and pivots.
Design & Aesthetics
The Samba Red colorway features a bold, energetic aesthetic that stands out on and off the court. The low-top silhouette maximizes ankle mobility for unrestricted movement, while reflective details on the tongue enhance visibility. Clean lines and strategic color blocking create a modern, versatile look that transitions seamlessly from game time to streetwear.

Sizing & Fit
Important: The Blade 4 V2 runs small. We recommend ordering half size up from your normal size, especially for athletes with wide feet or high insteps. The medium-narrow last provides a performance fit that may feel snug initially but breaks in beautifully.
Recommended Use
Optimized for indoor wooden floors and synthetic courts. While the PU outsole offers excellent durability, extended outdoor use on rough concrete or asphalt may accelerate wear. Ideal for:
- Competitive league play and tournaments
- Intensive training sessions
- 3-on-3 and pickup games
- Streetwear and casual wear
