Key Performance Technologies
- FULL-LENGTH SUPER BOOM MIDSOLE: Advanced drop-in midsole featuring Li-Ning's premium BOOM foam technology, providing exceptional energy return and responsive cushioning. The full-length design delivers consistent bounce from heel to toe, optimizing jump performance and reducing fatigue during high-intensity play.
- TUFF OS OUTSOLE + GCU GROUND CONTROL: Engineered for maximum durability and grip, the TUFF OS rubber compound is five times more wear-resistant than standard rubber. Integrated GCU (Ground Control Unit) technology ensures superior anti-slip performance on both indoor hardwood and outdoor concrete courts, maintaining consistent traction even on dusty surfaces.
- CARBON-FIBER REINFORCEMENT PLATES: Lightweight yet incredibly strong carbon-fiber plates integrated into the outsole and lateral side provide exceptional torsional rigidity and vertical support, preventing rollover and enhancing stability during aggressive cuts and landings.
- PROBAR LOC STABILIZER: Proprietary stability system ensures proper midfoot support and prevents excessive twisting, delivering confident control during rapid directional changes.
Construction & Materials
The upper combines breathable textile mesh with strategic TPU overlays for optimal lockdown and containment. This multi-material construction offers lightweight comfort while maintaining structural integrity for explosive movements. The low-top silhouette provides unrestricted ankle mobility essential for quick guards, while reinforced stitching ensures long-lasting durability.
Performance Features
- TRACTION: Wavebone-patterned outsole with herringbone elements delivers top-tier grip. Performs exceptionally well on clean courts and requires minimal wiping on dusty surfaces.
- CUSHIONING: Low-profile ride with excellent court feel. The BOOM foam provides plush comfort underfoot while maintaining responsiveness for quick first steps.
- SUPPORT & LOCKDOWN: Snug, performance-oriented fit with strong lateral containment. Carbon-fiber and TPU components work together to prevent foot movement inside the shoe during cuts.
- FIT: True to size for narrow to medium feet. Slightly snug forefoot design enhances performance fit. Wide-footers may consider going up half a size.

This "Oxygen" colorway features a clean white base with subtle silver and blue accents, creating a versatile aesthetic that transitions seamlessly from court to street.
