Ultralight 2022
Let's first take a look at the ultra-light 2022 pair of new products, the shape is very good, the dog brother saw his first glance, he recognized him as the "ultra-light" series, because the DNA on the body is too obvious, the height of the middle gang, the lightweight upper, the simple design, plus the pure white color of the circle, seeing him can't help but want to try on the foot.

The lace holes are not too much design, very minimalistic, and the necessary places have added a little detail, just right. The midsole is the highlight of this pair of shoes, the forefoot curve is relatively large, but it is very gentle, the outside of the forefoot has a prominent design, the midfoot position has added hollow elements, the upper layer is the support plate of nylon twelve materials, the lower layer is estimated to have tpu, and the thickness of the heel position is very good.
The mid-tosole configuration is forefoot technology, full palm LF technology, completely sufficient. The grain design of the outsole is very practical, the forefoot is radial wavy pattern, the position of the sole force is made into a ring design, the middle hole exposes the material, the middle foot position has a small logo of Li Ning, the grain of the heel position has been adjusted, the middle position has two small cutouts, you can see that the inside is the LF material, and it also says the technology used in this shoe: probar loc and lightfoam.
In terms of design, ultra-light 2022 is very simple, and inherits the iconic elements of ultra-light basketball shoes, named ultra-light, the same is true in weight, only 358 grams of weight, the use of hollows, uppers and midsole materials of the mid-foot, have contributed to this "feat", 10 years ago the ultra-light basketball shoes are a legend, especially the sponsored version of the player, 10 years later, this legend is back, the commercial version can meet you.
It is really not easy to make ultra-light 2022, this is an outbreak accumulated in ten years, this IP is restarted after ten years, Li Ning is also well thought-out, let's go back to ten years ago, review the ultra-light 10 generation basketball shoes, and also take a look at What Li Ning has experienced in this decade.
Li Ning in 2013
What were Li Ning's basketball shoes like 10 years ago? The first is the spokesperson, at this time Wade has joined Li Ning, in 2013 the brand is still promoting the 1st generation of Wade's way, and the Harbin team is also a spokesperson. Jose Calderón wore a coach for 7 generations to fight in the NBA, Evan Turner wore a hunter to play for the 76ers, Li Ning also sponsored the domestic CBA league at that time, but at this time, Li Ning, the overall situation was not very good, at the end of 2012 spent a lot of money to sign Wade, offline stores closed a lot, once rumored to go bankrupt, after changing the logo, did not ease up.
At this time, Li Ning basketball shoes are divided into two categories, not the current "spirit" and "force", but "crazy" and "yi", in fact, the name has changed, representing a thing, "crazy" series corresponding to the strength of the players, forward players, the representative products of that year are saboteurs, battlefield 2, sanctioners, annihilation, war spirits and so on. The "Yi" series corresponds to flexible players and defender players, and the representative products of that year include Hunter, Phantom, Coach 7, Aegis, Thunderbolt and so on.
In 2013, Li Ning's technology is not much, bow technology is still in use, has evolved into a ring bow, can be modularized, very good. Classic Cushion and Bounse+, is still the main cushioning technology, the midsole will also use a kind of cushioning technology called full palm IP shooting, most of the sneakers will use him, the regular Phylon, EVA will also be used, now look very "garbage" Li Ningyun technology, in fact, at the end of 2013 came out.
This year, there are several pairs of heavier sneakers, the first pair is the first pair of Sonic 1, the inspiration is Sonic the hedgehog, the midsole is equipped with full palm Bounse + rebound technology, this pair of shoes do not know whether it is Sun Mingxu teacher's knife. The second pair is the 7th generation of Shuai Shuai, which should be the work of Teacher Zheng Yongxian, the midsole is equipped with full palm IP injection cushioning technology, SAS synchronous coordination system, TPU stabilization tablet, breathable slot, the back palm uses Pebax technology, Cushion cushioning technology, and the outsole draws on the partition design of running shoes.
This is the flagship model of Li Ning's basketball shoes, full of technology, great performance, top design, mainly endorsed by Calderón. The third pair is the hunter, that is, which pair of shoes Turner wears, the source of inspiration is the J-20 heavy stealth fighter, the midsole is equipped with full palm IP shooting cushioning technology, TPU protection, and the back palm uses Li Ning ring bow cushioning technology, the color matching is quite a lot, which is also a practical god shoe.
In April 2012, Li Ning released the ultra-light 10th generation, the upper of the shoe is made of synthetic leather, Mono breathing mesh, sandwich mesh material, with seamless hot paste integrated process, with carbon fiber straps, forming a cross binding structure, FormEVAlite ultra-light midsole equipped with Bounse + rebound technology, TPU protection, with rubber outsole.
There is also a pair called Li Ning Ray, inspired by the Bank of China Building, the upper of the shoe is made of synthetic leather, mesh material, with seamless heat paste integration process, the midsole is equipped with full palm IP shooting cushioning technology, S-shaped distribution cushioning holes, with rubber outsole, the appearance is more general, but in the CBA field, got a lot of players on the upper foot. Jingo low-top version is also a pair of shoes with relatively high attention that year.
Li Ning arc technology also performed in that year, Li Ning micro arc, ba arc are representative works. There were a pair of basketball shoes named Pirates, the shape is also very good, the midsole is full palm Bounse + technology, the dog brother remembers that there is a pink and camouflage style, the heat is quite high. The follow-up armor is also a sneaker exposed in 2012, and the heat is not high, but this is a technology that Li Ning is still using.
Wade side, just signed the first year, Li Ning products are in place, casual shoes have gentleman killer, Wade 937, Wade slippers, minimalist gentleman, Wade legend 84 leather version and other products, basketball shoes, there are Wade Way 1 generation high and low help, there is a popular version of high and low help, to a certain extent to expand Li Ning's popularity. Overall, this year is a year of succession, the product is the representative of the "old" Li Ning, and the overall planning is the opening of the "new" Li Ning.
Ultra-light 10 generations
Ultra-light 10 generations was born in such a context, in 2013, Li Ning in accordance with the rhythm of the annual update, released the ultra-light 10 generations of running shoes, from a generation to ten generations, a series can do here, it is not easy, the shape of the ultra-light series, the sense of foot and the concept are very advanced, leading the domestic, the birth of the 10th generation is more stable this, the shape of the shoes is very smooth, very aesthetic, at the same time, the breakthrough in the upper on both sides of the added carbon fiber patch elements, support, design, foot feeling, weight, All got a breakthrough.
Ultra-light 10 generations of the main push of the fluorescent color is very dazzling, that summer, everywhere you can see his figure, ultra-light 10 generations of running shoes are successful, but more successful should be ultra-light 10 generations of basketball shoes, what is the opportunity to save this pair of shoes has not been known, but it is true that the ultra-light 10 generation of that year's reputation is particularly good, many people are wearing, CBA players wear the sponsored version, that is really the existence of the "legend" level.
CBA sponsored version of the ultra-light 10th generation shoe type and the regular version has a little difference, more fluid, Li Ning's logo is also larger, midsole cushioning formula should be the same, but added "artifact", Li Ning's nut insole, that time the nut insole and the current nut insole are completely different, the price of the sponsored version is also more expensive, this pair of shoes is very good, excellent to the previous few years There are some CBA players in wearing.
With a good reputation, in 2016, Li Ning brought this pair of shoes back, fulfilling a wave of people's dreams, but the configuration has not changed, in 2016, Li Ning can play too many sneakers.
The success of ultra-light 10 generation basketball shoes also allowed Li Ning to see a new development direction: to make a pair of lightweight, breathable, cushioned good sneakers, and then Li Ning also made ultra-light 11, ultra-light 12 and 13 generations, but the reputation has never been improved, and this series has also been shelved.
Until 2022, Li Ning restarted the ultra-light basketball shoes again, from his configuration, styling, you can see that Li Ning's progress in the past ten years, technology, LF technology, carbon fiber technology, midsole hollow design, weight control... If Li Ning does not have these things, then restarting the ultralight series will not help, he will be like the ultralight 11-13 generation, obscure.
With these technologies, Li Ning dared to challenge the original "concept": to make a pair of lightweight, breathable, cushioning good sneakers, which is actually very difficult, friends who have read the dog brother article must understand that basketball shoes must be protective, have "connotation", to be highly matched, these and that concept is always a bit "contrary to the way" feeling, how to adjust the material, how to arrange the structure, how to choose technology, how to neutralize the "performance", this is a very difficult test.
Wade's Way 9, Coach 14, City 10, CJ1, are they all "overweight"? Domestic, really need a pair of "lightweight" and "practical" basketball shoes, ultra-light 2022 should be the shoes that everyone is looking forward to, ten years of Li Ning, the power is here, at present, this is a pair of more targeted sneakers, the appearance I like very much, the configuration is enough, how to fight, waiting for the test, the probability will not overturn.
Well, this content is here, what do you think of the ultra-light 2022 shoes? What do you want to share with you about the memories of the Ultralight series? For Li Ning's development in the past ten years, what do you think of the path he has taken? Welcome to leave a message in the background and discuss with brother dog.
