Li-Ning Liren 4 V2: Not Your Average Hoop Shoe

#basketballshoes #lining #sneakers
Liren 4 V2 “Parrot”:
bit.ly/3w0m2f9
In this video we go over the low top version of Li-Ning’s best basketball shoe right now - the Liren (Sharp Edge) 4 V2:
Cushion remains excellent with a full-length BOOM midsole. This is a very lightweight shoe that gives you a smooth transition from front to back. Adding to that, I could really feel the springiness on feet thanks to the support plate increasing bounciness. Traction works perfectly fine, although there’s no squeak against any court condition with the translucent outsole. If you trust the squeak more than anything, colorways that have a solid rubber outsole should be even more fun to play in. Torsional support, stability and lockdown are all decent, and it does have a nicely padded collar and tongue making this a complete package - at a NASTY cost unfortunately…
Let me know your thoughts on the Liren 4 V2 in the comments! Have you tried / considered this line from Li-Ning??

[@leonardonguyen4338]

Great Review Tommy, 1 thing to note that the PR material from Lining wasn't very good at communicate on what material/ techs they used for the shoes, In some website they said that the plate is Carbon Fiber but its not, its PEBAX formed plate. Everything else is on point, anybody decided to go with the shoes invested in good cushion socks for a more comfortable ride. As for the profile as to most Lining, WOW shoes its pretty narrow in the forefoot so if you have wider feet, go Half size up like WOW. 1 last thing is the LACES, its NOT GOOD !! I love the color on my poisonous frog but it came undone couple of time during session so it's pretty annoying, good thing they included a 2nd thick normal laces in the box but its NOT IN THE COLOR matching with my shoes so just a small things.

[@TommyLiu4]

Hey, thanks for your input!! Yes it’s a PEBAX plate not carbon fiber. Agree with your findings.

[@thesenate668]

Hey Tommy, great video as usual. I wanted to ask if you have tried the Badfive line from Lining.

Hi. I am a subscriber of your KZbin channel. I’m having a hard time deciding between Li-Ling liren 3 v2 & liren 4 v2.

Hey. Thank you! Honestly there’s no bad choice there, both have equally good traction against dust. I feel like you’d enjoy the 3 V2 a little bit more based on what you said. 🙏

Hi, thank YOU! For me personally, I’d stick to the All City 12 it’s simply good enough for my playing style and easy to use. For elite players, these have better traction against dust + more springiness on feet - but comes at a higher cost so hopefully that gives you a good sense of how they compare.

3 V2. There is a tradeoff, the fit became tighter / more secure. Comfort might have taken a hit but lockdown was improved. It depends on which type you prefer, also I think getting a solid rubber outsole colorway would be better than translucent.

I got both and prefer the high top because there’s more cushion in the forefoot. It’s quite noticeable and therefore you’re higher off the ground. The low tops are more suited for shifty guards.
