Li-Ning LiRen 5 V2 Low "Rippling Light" - Basketball Shoes Men's White Blue
The Li-Ning LiRen 5 V2 Low "Rippling Light" is a performance basketball shoe featuring a light blue and white theme with a unique shimmering effect on the logo.
Design and Aesthetics
The "Rippling Light" colorway is designed for a cool and refreshing aesthetic, perfect for summer wear.
· Color Palette: It primarily uses standard white and light sky blue colors, with a visually appealing, shimmering "ripple" effect on the side logo, reminiscent of sunlight glittering on water.
· Aesthetic Appeal: The design combines clean, modern aesthetics with versatile functionality, making it suitable for both on-court performance and casual wear.
Technology and Performance
The shoe is engineered for speed and stability, catering to agile players who need excellent court feel and responsiveness.
· Cushioning: It uses a full-length BOOM midsole (a PEBAX-based supercritical fluid foaming material), which is integrated into the balanced Polymer Core Drive System (PCDS). This offers a soft-bouncy feel with good impact absorption.
· Stability and Support: An 8-shaped PEBAX plate is embedded in the midsole, replacing the carbon fiber plate in the previous model to offer a more user-friendly, less stressful rebound. This system works with the shoe's structure to provide stability and protection during quick movements.
· Traction and Durability: The outsole is reportedly made of TUFF RB rubber (high wear-resistant rubber), which provides durable grip on various surfaces, including outdoor courts, though some reviewers note that solid rubber can perform better on dusty indoor courts than translucent.
· Upper: The upper is updated with stronger, more breathable TPU yarn weaving, ensuring a secure and ventilated fit.
