Li-Ning Blade 6 V2 3D Shattered Shadow
The Li-Ning Liren 6 V2 is a high-performance, low-top basketball shoe launched in late 2025/early 2026, designed primarily for agile guards and wings who prioritize speed and lateral stability.
Key Performance Technologies
· Dual-Drive Cushioning: Features an upgraded full-length "Beng" (BOOM) midsole paired with a supercritical insole. This dual-system focuses on a lower center of gravity for "quick bounce" and faster takeoffs.
· PENTA-S Support: A new 3D TPU cage on the lateral forefoot interlocks with the foam to boost lateral stability by 30%, preventing foot roll during hard cuts.
· Propulsion Plate: Includes a PEBAX propulsion plate within the midsole to provide snappier energy return and torsion resistance.
· Traction & Outsole: Utilizes TUFF RB wear-resistant rubber with a hexagonal tread pattern, suitable for both indoor varnish and outdoor concrete.
Design & Fit
· Weight: The shoe features a lightweight design, weighing approximately 380g (or as low as 258g for size US 9 depending on the variant).
· Upper Materials: Constructed with a TPU mesh woven material featuring a prism gloss coating for a balance of durability and style.
· Fit Profile: Reviewers from the Chasing Perfection channel note a true-to-size fit, though the forefoot can feel slightly wide for some users, necessitating lace tightening for a secure lockdown.
