Series Inspiration
The inspiration behind the Li-Ning Gamma series shoes is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Marathon Racing Shoes Inspiration : The Gamma series shoes draw on the characteristics of marathon racing shoes, focusing on lightness and speed. Marathon shoes are known for their good breathability, lightweight design, and excellent cushioning performance. These features are also embodied in the Gamma series shoes to help players move quickly on the court and enhance their speed performance.
Named After the Strongest Energy Body in the Universe : Named after the strongest energy body in the universe, this implies that the shoes are filled with immense power. This may be reflected in the technological configuration of the shoes, such as the use of advanced materials and technologies to provide strong support and power for players, enabling them to perform better in the game, just like the energy bodies in the universe, full of strength and explosive power.
Designed for Guards : The Gamma series shoes are designed as a "competition machine" for the flexible breakthrough of guards. Guards need outstanding flexibility and breakthrough ability in the game. The design of this shoe focuses on meeting the needs of guards. For example, the upper may be made of lightweight materials to provide a flexible feel, making it convenient for guard players to quickly change direction and break through the defense during offense. At the same time, the design of the sole may also have good grip and anti - slip performance, ensuring that players can stably control their movements during the breakthrough process.
Light as Nothing, Super Speed Boost, Instant Defense Breakthrough : These features further emphasize the performance advantages of the Gamma series shoes. "Light as nothing" means the shoes are very light, not adding any extra burden to the players, helping to increase their movement speed. "Super speed boost" reflects the outstanding performance of the shoes in helping players accelerate, which may be achieved by optimizing the design of the sole or using special materials to realize quick start and acceleration. "Instant defense breakthrough" indicates that this shoe can help players break through the opponent's defense in an instant, which may be due to the good grip and flexible control of the shoes, allowing players to quickly change direction during the offense and break through the defense of the opponent's players.
Technological Configuration

Upgraded GCU Non - Slip Outsole : The upgraded GCU non - slip outsole, combined with the light wave oscillation pattern, has strong performance for sudden stops and quick starts, enhancing the sprint performance on the court.
BOOM Technology Insole : The insole is made of BOOM technology, with countless small "spikes" covering the surface of the insole. When配合 professional elite socks, it can greatly avoid the situation of the foot slipping inside the shoe.
