Inspired by the butterfly-themed design of China's 2000 Sydney Olympics podium shoes, the side panels feature wing-like hollow structures combined with cocoon-shaped sole elements for aesthetics and functionality. The 2025 "Rebirth" edition integrates Li Ning's classic x-claw trail running shoe elements, revitalizing the retro design. Triple-cushioning system: forefoot Boom foam, full-length LIGHTFOAM ULTRA, and HC LOC ground-contact structure, providing 72% energy return. Density reduced by 28% compared to the original EVA midsole, enhancing lightweight performance and rebound. CORDURA abrasion-resistant fabric for breathability and support, paired with Tuff RB high-wear rubber outsoles for outdoor courts. Debuted at the 2025 CBA All-Star Game by Chen Guohao, gaining viral attention. Future versions will blend more classic Li Ning elements. The speculated fourth-generation model retains butterfly motifs with a dragon-bone-inspired heel wrap for cushioning and visual impact.
