Performance Technology
CUSHIONING: The full-length BOOM midsole delivers Li-Ning's most advanced cushioning technology, offering a plush yet responsive ride with excellent step-in comfort. The dual-density setup with LIGHT FOAM ULTRA in the heel provides targeted support and enhances court feel without sacrificing impact protection.
TRACTION: The TUFF RB outsole compound features a multi-directional pattern that grips aggressively on both clean and dusty courts. The tacky rubber maintains consistent performance across indoor hardwood and outdoor concrete surfaces, requiring minimal wiping during play.
SUPPORT & STABILITY: A comprehensive support system includes the PROBAR LOC stabilizer embedded in the arch for torsional rigidity, a molded heel counter for lockdown, and a butterfly-shaped TPU shank for lateral containment. This combination ensures confident cuts, jumps, and directional changes.
UPPER CONSTRUCTION: The breathable woven synthetic upper features strategic overlays for durability without adding weight. The material breaks in quickly and provides a secure, sock-like fit while maintaining structural integrity during intense play.
Fit & Sizing
The DLo 1 runs true to size for standard/narrow feet. Wide-footers should consider going up half a size for optimal comfort. The shoe features a snug midfoot fit with ProLock technology that may feel tight initially but breaks in with wear. The semi-dense insole provides additional comfort without bottoming out.
