2026 Core Technology & Upgrades

* Dual-Density BOOM Midsole: Responsive Cushioning + Unshakable Stability
Full-length dual-layer Li-Ning BOOM midsole delivers 7% improved rebound and 8% enhanced cushioning, with optimized energy return for snappy toe-offs and soft landings. Widened by 10.9mm at the heel and 0.8mm at the forefoot, paired with a new wing-shaped TPU support sheet, it boosts stability by 6% to minimize overpronation. Reduces knee abduction moment by 5%, offering premium joint protection during long-distance runs or high-mileage training cycles.
* Upgraded BOOM FIBER Upper: Breathability Meets Locked-In Fit
Advanced fine jacquard BOOM FIBER upper enhances breathability by 59%, creating a cooling airflow that keeps feet dry even during intense workouts or hot-weather runs. 3D woven construction with thermoplastic reinforcement and a refined heel lock system delivers a sock-like fit that adapts to wide feet and high insteps, eliminating slippage and ensuring consistent support mile after mile.
* GCR Lightweight Slip-Resistant Outsole: Traction for Every Terrain
Next-generation GCR (Ground Control Rubber) outsole is lighter than standard rubber (floats on water) with 14% better grip and 15.7% improved wear resistance. Custom zonal tread pattern tackles urban asphalt, plastic tracks, and wet surfaces with confidence, maintaining reliable traction even after 300+ km of use – perfect for runners who train across diverse environments.
* PROBAR LOC Stability System: Targeted Arch Support
Integrated PROBAR LOC stabilizer in the midsole arch connects the forefoot and heel, reinforcing arch support, reducing fatigue, and preventing injuries during dynamic movements like sprints, turns, or long runs.
