Li-Ning LiRen 5 V2 "Dragon Boat Festival" Limited Edition - Basketball Shoes Mens Green
The Li-Ning LiRen 5 V2 "Dragon Boat Festival" Limited Edition (also known as the "Rice Dumpling" edition, SKU: ABAV061-2) is a limited-release basketball shoe, not a badminton shoe as the user's query might imply. The design is inspired by the traditional Chinese Dragon Boat Festival and the custom of eating zongzi (rice dumplings).
