Li-Ning Sortie Pro Pickleball Shoes – Engineered for Speed, Stability & All-Day Comfort
1. Feather-Light Propulsion
2. Full-length Li-Ning BOOM (PEBAX® super-critical foam) midsole delivers 75 % energy return at 20 % less weight than traditional EVA, so you explode to the NVZ and recover faster on every baseline sprint.
3. Dual-Density Cushioning
4. A rear-foot Li-Ning Cloud insert absorbs harsh impact on hard-court landings, cutting joint stress by up to 22 % (Li-Ning lab data) without sacrificing court feel.
5. Carbon-Fiber Torsion Shield
6. A 3 K woven carbon plate under the arch prevents mid-foot twist, increases push-off efficiency and protects against plantar fatigue during marathon tournament days.
7. Indoor-Optimized Outsole
8. Non-marking, translucent rubber is formulated for wood and polymer courts. Radial “Grip-Petal” tread gives 360 ° traction for lightning lateral cuts and quick-stop volleys—zero scuff marks guaranteed.
9. Wide-Fit, Asian-Last Precision
