These look sick! Only $65??? Damn…..Li-Ning coming for it now. Fresh pix
These LOOK great, I wonder how they play. If they drop a sz. 13, I’ll give them a shot
Wow!!! Now thats how you come to America!!
Whoa wasn’t expecting these at all. Great looking ball shoe from Li Ning. I like these better then the BDs even. Wonder what they feel like?
It’s a little too much, but totally in a good way, like Foamposite good. Really polarizing design, which means I really dig it.
But did they really have to call it “foam frame?” How is anyone not going to connect that with foamposite tech?
Loving these kicks right here mang . Fresh and clean. bout time some-one give those bastards @ Nike some real competition. Adidas hasn’t done jack to in basketball market . Reebok is pretty much dead ( Not even John Wall ) can help them . A little history lesson for all ( Japan auto makers took over the car industry) ( Electronics ) and now Chinese sneaker companies are poised to do the same. them boys @ Nike and Jordan brand have gotten a bit lazy with designs and over priced craps they feed to the public. Don’t ya love innovation and creativity. One last time thing whoever @ Jordan brand gave the ok for the Fusion line should be fired
Judging by how it looks and some of the stuff I been working on lately it should be lighter than FP. It looks more like its Crox light.
Don’t hate Dallas , these joints are sic
No hate I love em
Yeah, Dallas is right.
The foam frame essentially looks like the same injection molded material used in crocs. That explains the price and the light weight. Hopefully the frame they put inside it can stand up to numerous full court beatings.
They look good.
Impressive! I do hope that they would be available in the Phil. soon.
gotta hand it to li-ning, this range is pretty badass. bet the hoops ones keep your feet nice n toasty (also like FP).
WOW ! WOW ! WOW ! These are impressive specially the white-blue colorway ! And finish of these shoes looks impressive !
I dun care that is not from adidas or nike, the looks of these shoes are way up there. Am starting to respect this brand.
If these things perform well, Watch out Nike ! Watch out Adiddas ! Li-Ning is out to conquer !
Well done Li-Ning !!!
Amazing design. This is what I’ve been waiting to see. Can’t beat $65 to try it either!
Bringing that funky-stuff 8) , and at $65….. *schock*
I hope these make it to Champs, or Eastbay, so we can get ‘em in Europe 8)
America,
Welcome to the Li-Ning Dynasty!!! These are kinda dope. I am really considering the BD Doom’s though. They just look like they are cut pretty high.
this isht is fresh as hell. sign me up.
Damn this is a dopeee shoe!!!
they look interesting, i just dont know if i want to ball in croxs, das why they are cheap, they are throw away eva foam. if they got some good materials might want them.
Love how these look. Price is perfect too
I want this shoe!!
One word “Sold”. If they are available near me their as good as “sold”, especially because I think most shoe brands don’t tap into the outdoor Bball market and for $65, and fresh look(Nike is stale in style) “Sold” lol
on that note… i just got my Li-Ning’s Lift-off and used it for two games already… it was one of the best bball shoes i have ever worn… great style, stability was nice and the cusioning was superb… its a one piece mold shoe… no stitching of any kind so its very very light… and all that for less than $70… it even performed better than my nike which i got for $150… actually i have SLAM to thank for that… saw the photos in your site and i said i must have it… so thanks SLAM… people you got to try it and im sure you will thank me for it… i already boxed up my nike and put it in the garage LOL!
To Jone, where did u get them from? On eastbay they only shoe the BD boom as being available…I want these shoes bad also did u play indoors or out?
supa dupa… i played indoors on wooden floors… i dont think it is available there in the states… im from the Philippines and i asked a friend of mine to get me one (coz he was going to china)… and after a few days i got it… played with it the next day and i’ve been using it exclusively since then… i guess u can order it online… i’m telling you man you will be the talk of the court when u rock those Lift-off… everyone has been asking me where i got it… i’m sure it will be a hassle getting one specially from there but im telling u it will be all worth it.
these look ight. technology is interesting. kind of similar to foamposite technology. hard to believe that these aren’t more popular. shouldn’t it be a breakthrough that they basically made the ENTIRE shoe out of seamless foam? I’m not sure about the traction, but it should be alright since the BD dooms were good. Might cop these if they hit retailers. 65 bucks is a steal.
To Jone: hi. where in China and how much do these go for in China?
