A few days ago, Brother Gou introduced to you a new basketball shoes for Li Ning , named "Super Light 2022". The shape and configuration of this pair of shoes have been made public. It looks like a pair of very strong basketball shoes. I am about to meet you. Ten years ago, the ultra-light basketball shoes were born. Ten years later, the ultra-light 2022 is coming. What has Li Ning experienced in these ten years? How about Super Light 2022? Next, Brother Dog will talk to you about these things.
ultra-light 2022
Let’s first look at the new pair of ultra-light 2022. The appearance is great. When Dog Brother saw him, he recognized him as the "ultra-light" series because the DNA on his body was too obvious, the height of the middle top, the lightweight upper, the simple design, and the pure white color scheme that was out of the circle, I couldn’t help but want to try it when I saw it.
Ultralight 2022's upper is made of multi-layer material, with mono yarn on the outside, which is lighter and breathable, and has a translucent appearance. It has mesh material inside, with large holes, which is equivalent to the function of an inner boot , improving comfort. The heel is filled with sufficient filling, which plays a necessary support role. The sides of the shoe are carbon fiber patches, which is the iconic design of ultra-light basketball shoes.
shoelace holes do not have too many designs, they are very simple, and a little details are added to the necessary parts, just right. The midsole is the highlight of this pair of shoes. The forefoot is raised in a large curve, but it is very smooth. There is a prominent design on the outside of the forefoot. A hollow element is added to the midfoot. The upper layer is a support plate made of nylon twelve materials, and the lower layer is probably also tpu. The thickness of the heel position is very good.
midsole configuration is Forefoot Technology, Quanzhang LF Technology, which is completely sufficient. The outsole pattern design is very practical. The forefoot is radial wavy pattern. The position of the foot exerting force is made into a circular design. The opening in the middle reveals the material. There is a Li Ning's small logo at the midfoot. The pattern at the heel position has been adjusted. There are two small hollows in the middle. You can see that it is LF material inside. It also says the technology used in this pair of shoes: probar loc and lightfoam. In terms of design, Ultralight 2022 is very simple, and it inherits the iconic elements of the ultralight basketball shoes. It is called Ultralight, and the same is true for weight. It only weighs 358 grams. The hollowing of the midfoot, the use of upper and midsole materials have all contributed to this "feat". The ultralight basketball shoes 10 years ago are a legend, especially the sponsored version of the players. 10 years later, this legend comes back, and the commercial version can satisfy you.
can make ultra-light 2022, it is really not easy. This is an explosion that has accumulated over ten years. This IP has been restarted ten years later. Li Ning has also thought about it after careful consideration. Let’s go back to ten years ago to review the ultra-light 10th generation basketball shoes, and also take a look at what Li Ning has experienced in the past ten years.
2013 Li Ning
10 years ago, what did Li Ning's basketball shoes look like? First of all, it is the spokesperson. At this time, , Wade has joined Li Ning. In 2013, the brand was still promoting Wade's first generation, and the Harbin team is also the spokesperson. Jose Calderon wore a 7th generation of Yushuo and played for NBA, Evan Turner in a stalker for 76ers. Li Ning also sponsored the domestic CBA league at that time, but Li Ning was not in a good overall situation at this time. At the end of 2012, he spent a huge amount of money to sign Wade, and the offline stores were closed a lot. There was a news that he was going to go bankrupt. After changing the logo, he did not recover.
At this time, Li Ning basketball shoes were divided into two major categories, not the current "spirit" and "power", but "crazy" and "elegant". In fact, the name has changed, and it still represents the same thing. The "crazy" series corresponds to power players and forward players. The products represented by those who used to be destroyers, battlefield 2, sanctioners, annihilation, and fighting souls. The "Yi" series corresponds to flexible players and defenders. The representative products at that time include Hunter, Phantom, Yushuo 7, ASCHUN, Thunder and Lightning, etc.
In 2013, Li Ning didn’t have much technology, and bow technology is still in use. It has evolved into a ring bow and can be used in modularity, which is very good.The classic Cushion and Bounse+ are still the main cushioning technology. The midsole also uses a cushioning technology called full palm IP injection. Most sneakers will use it. The conventional Phylon and EVA will also be used. Li Ningyun Technology, which looks very "garbage", was actually released at the end of 2013.
This year, there are several pairs of heavy sneakers. The first pair is Sonic 1 generation, and the inspiration is Sonic the Hedgehog. The midsole is equipped with full-palm Bounse + rebound technology. I wonder if this pair of shoes was taken by Teacher Sun Mingxu. The second pair is Yushuai's 7th generation, which should be the work of Mr. Zheng Yongxian. The midsole is equipped with full palm IP injection cushioning technology, SAS synchronization coordination system, TPU stabilization plate, and breathable groove. The rear palm uses Pebax technology and Cushion cushioning technology. The outsole borrows from the partition design of running shoes.
This is the flagship model of Li Ning’s basketball shoes. It has a lot of technology, great performance, and top-notch design. It is mainly endorsed by Calderon. The third pair is the hunter, which pair of shoes Turner wore. The inspiration is the J-20 heavy stealth fighter. The midsole is equipped with full palm IP shooting cushioning technology and TPU protection. The rear palm uses Li Ning ring bow cushioning technology. There are many colors available, which is also a practical war god shoe.
In April 2012, Li Ning released the ultra-light 10th generation. The upper is made of synthetic leather , Mono breathing mesh cloth, and sandwich mesh cloth. It is combined with seamless hot patching technology and carbon fiber straps to form a cross-binding structure. The FormEVAlite ultra-light midsole is equipped with Bounse+ rebound technology, TPU protection, and is matched with rubber outsole.
There is also a pair of Li Ning rays called Bank of China Building, the upper is made of synthetic leather and mesh fabric, combined with seamless hot patching integrated technology, the midsole is equipped with a full palm IP to shoot cushioning technology, S-shaped distribution cushioning holes, and a rubber outsole. It has a relatively average appearance, but in the CBA field, it has been given many players' feet. The Jinge low-top version is also a pair of shoes that were highly concerned about back then.
Li Ninggu Technology also performed in that year, and Li Ningweigu and Bagu are both representative works. There were two basketball shoes called Pirates back then, and the appearance was very good. The midsole was full-length Bounse+tech. Dog Brother remembers that there was a pink and camouflage style, which was quite popular. Follow-up armor is also a sneaker exposed in 2012. It is not very popular, but this is a technology that Li Ning is still using now.
Wade, in the first year of signing the contract, Li Ning's products are very in place. In terms of casual shoes, there are gentleman killers, Wade 937, Wade slippers, minimalist gentleman, Wade Legend 84 leather version and other products. In terms of basketball shoes, there is Wade's 1 generation high and low top and popular version high and low top, which has expanded Li Ning's popularity to a certain extent. Overall, this year is a year that connects the past and the future. The products are representative of the "old" Li Ning, and the overall plan is the opening of the "new" Li Ning.
ultra-light 10th generation
ultra-light 10th generation was born in this context. In 2013, Li Ning released ultra-light 10th generation running shoes at the pace of annual updates. From one generation to tenth generations, it is no longer easy for a series to do it here. The appearance, foot feeling and concept of the ultra-light series are very advanced, leading the domestic production, and the birth of the 10th generation has stabilized this point. The appearance of the shoes is very smooth and beautiful. At the same time, the elements of carbon fiber patches are added to both sides of the upper, and the support, design, foot feeling and weight have been made.
Ultralight 10th generation fluorescent color is very dazzling. That summer, he can be seen everywhere. Ultralight 10th generation running shoes were successful, but the more successful one should be the ultralight 10th generation basketball shoes. What opportunity does this pair of shoes have become unknown, but it is indeed the ultralight 10th generation that year's ultralight 10th generation reputation was particularly good, and many people are wearing it. The sponsored version worn by CBA players is a real "legendary" level existence.The super light 10th generation shoe style of the sponsored version of
CBA is a little different from the regular version, it is smoother, Li Ning's logo is also larger, the midsole cushioning formula should be the same, but with the addition of "artifact", Li Ning's nut insole, the nut insole at that time was completely different from the current nut insole, and the sponsored version is also more expensive. This pair of shoes is excellent, and it is excellent so that some CBA players are wearing it in the past few years.
Relying on a good reputation, in 2016, Li Ning brought this pair of shoes back, fulfilling his dreams, but the configuration has not changed. In 2016, Li Ning could play too many sneakers. The success of the ultra-light 10th generation basketball shoes has also allowed Li Ning to see a new development direction: making a pair of lightweight, breathable and shock-cushioned sneakers. After that, Li Ning also made ultra-light 11, ultra-light 12 and 13 generations, but his reputation has never improved, and this series has been shelved.
Until 2022, Li Ning restarted the super light basketball shoes again. From his configuration and styling, you can see that Li Ning's progress over the past ten years has been, including technology, LF technology, carbon fiber technology, midsole hollow design, weight control... If Li Ning doesn't have these things, then restarting the super light series will be useless. He will be as unknown as the super light 11-13 generations.
And with these technologies, Li Ning dared to challenge the original "concept" again: it is actually very difficult to make a pair of lightweight, breathable and shock-cushioned sneakers. Friends who have read the articles of Gou Ge must understand that basketball shoes must be protective, have "content" and have high-end matching. These always feel a bit "distant" from that concept. How to train the materials, arrange the structure, choose the technology, and how to neutralize the "performance" is a very difficult test.
Wade's Way 9, Yushuai 14, the whole city 10, CJ1, are they all "overweight"? Domestic products really need a pair of "lightweight" and "practical" basketball shoes. Super light 2022 should be the shoe that everyone is looking forward to. After ten years of Li Ning, his skills are here. At present, this is a pair of more targeted sneakers. I like the appearance and the configuration is enough. How about actual combat? I wait for inspection, and there is a high probability that it will not fail.
is OK, that’s all about this article. What do you think of this pair of super light 2022 shoes? What do you want to share with you about the memory of the ultra-light series? What do you think of Li Ning’s development over the past ten years? Everyone is welcome to leave a message in the background to discuss with Brother Dog.
