Li-Ning Liren 4 V2 "Ammonite" ABAU037-19 - Basketball Shoe Blue Purple
Li-Ning Liren 4 V2 — Court-Ready Speed, Nature-Inspired Design
Named after the spiraling beauty of Natica Tessellata, the Ammonite colorway of the Liren 4 V2 turns heads before you even touch the court. Swirling blue and purple tones echo the shell of a spotted snail — a design that's as bold as the performance underneath it.
Lace up and you'll immediately feel what makes the Liren 4 V2 a favorite among quick, shifty guards: a snappy, bouncy ride that rewards fast cuts and explosive first steps without weighing you down.
Cushioning: Full-Length Li-Ning Boom
A full-length Li-Ning Boom midsole delivers consistent energy return and shock absorption from heel to toe. The feel is distinctly bouncy rather than mushy — responsive enough to keep you sharp in the fourth quarter.
Stability: PROBAR LOC + TPU Plate
A PROBAR LOC stabilizing device in the arch works in tandem with a near full-length TPU plate to prevent foot twisting and add propulsive stiffness through the midfoot — so your energy goes forward, not sideways.
Upper: Textile + Ultra Shell TPU
The hybrid upper blends breathable textile with Ultra Shell TPU overlays for a durable, supportive lockdown. Expect a slightly firm feel out of the box that softens into a personalized fit after a few sessions.
Traction: Multi-Directional Herringbone + GCU Rubber
A multi-directional herringbone tread pattern paired with GCU (Ground Control Unit) rubber grips hard on both indoor hardwood and outdoor surfaces — no slipping on sharp cuts or defensive slides.
Weight & Fit
- Weight: ~360g (US 10.5) — exceptionally light for a performance basketball shoe
- Sizing: True to size; wide-footers may prefer going up half a size
- Break-in: Allow a few sessions for the textile upper to fully conform
Who It's For
Reviewers on r/BBallShoes rate the Liren 4 V2 as a top-tier performer comparable to a budget Way of Wade 10 Low — making it the ideal choice for guards who prioritize speed, responsiveness, and court feel without the flagship price tag.
