Li-Ning Sonic 13 V2 "Mountain Exploration" ABAV075-4 - Basketball Shoes Unisex Yellow
Product Overview
The Li-Ning Sonic 13v2 redefines court performance for elite guards and perimeter players. Engineered with revolutionary POP 䨻 technology and a sub-315g construction, these basketball shoes deliver explosive energy return, superior traction, and professional-grade stability for competitive play.
Revolutionary POP 䨻 Technology
The proprietary LightFoam Pro midsole, infused with nitrogen micro-bubbles, achieves an 89% compression recovery rate—returning nearly all impact energy into vertical lift. Field testing with Division III athletes showed an average 1.8-inch increase in vertical jump height compared to standard EVA midsoles.
Ultra-Lightweight Agility
Weighing only 315 grams (US size 9), the Sonic 13v2 is 12-15% lighter than premium competitors. The single-layer engineered mesh upper reduces material mass by 22%, while an 18g carbon fiber plate under the forefoot enhances propulsion without adding bulk.
Performance-Driven Features
- Multi-Directional Traction: Herringbone outsole with 1.2mm lugs provides 89% surface contact for reliable grip on clean hardwood courts
- Breathable Construction: Strategic ventilation zones allow 3x airflow vs. synthetic leather, keeping feet cool during 90°F+ indoor sessions
- Anti-Slip & Wear-Resistant: 72 Shore A rubber compound balances durability with court grip
- Stable Support Package: TPU heel counter (0.8mm) and anti-torsion system lock the foot during aggressive cuts
Fit & Sizing
Designed for a snug, secure fit ideal for normal to medium-wide feet (D-E width). Athletes with wider forefeet should size up by half and pair with thin performance socks. The contoured heel cup and anatomical midfoot support deliver exceptional lockdown without restricting movement.
