Yesterday evening, Li Ning's two designers unleashed a surprise – they publicly revealed photos of two shoe models, although they were samples, but with a very high completion rate, triggering a heated discussion among shoe enthusiasts. One was a bad five collaboration running shoe, designed by Yan Ge, and the other was the Wade 8moment, designed by Da Zhou. Today, let's talk about these two shoes.
bad five training shoes
This shoe, dogge saw it early on at somey, because its shape was too similar to the styles at fashion week, dogge mistakenly thought it was a factory sneak peek, but upon closer inspection, it was distinguishable. The fashion week style is sharper, and the material usage is more premium. This sample is more conservative and easier to accept.
Designer Yan Ge named it 'Chi Che,' and the name is very catchy, and the appearance is also quite high. The rubber on the back of the heel and the overall streamlined pattern are the essence of the shoe, giving it a dynamic feeling.
'Chi Che' can see Yan Ge's previous design elements, such as the rubber design at the heel and the consistency with the Vantage basketball shoe, which is a continuation, a designer's product imprint.
Li Ning's basketball brand boss Sun Mingxiu positioned this shoe as a training shoe, which can satisfy light running and sports. The midsole cushioning is ordinary cloud tech, and the appearance looks like Li Ning's 'IP Shootout,' which is actually a shoe-making process that the brand used several years ago. The feel is not improved.
The upper material feels similar to the ultralight series, but with some reinforcements.
dogge thinks 'Chi Che''s functionality may be weaker, and it's more appropriate to position it as a 'can run' fashion shoe. In fact, this type of product is what Li Ning is currently launching, Sun Mingxiu said, he wants to develop a product that can satisfy both sports and street attributes. The Vantage basketball shoe and the Vantage training shoe were born this way. They have the wildness and high appearance that street should have, and can also satisfy light or professional sports. Now, this product line is completely handed over to Yan Ge.
It's worth praising Yan Ge here, following the rules of theThe designer worked for Piko and designed Park shoes before joining Li Ning. Although the appearance is passable, it's not mainstream compared to the current works.
After Yan Ge came to Li Ning, the few products he launched exploded, such as the Flash Strike 6 and the Vantage basketball shoe. The unreleased fashion week style was also recognized by Wade. In the future, will he take over the design of the Wade regular edition?
Wade 8moment's most expensive colorway is here. It was previously called 'All-Star', but Wade didn't enter 'All-Star', plus he retired. This colorway is called 'moment'.
Each generation of this colorway is classic and distinctive. 1's 'Dragon Fish', 2's floral embellishments, 3's 'Sharu' and 'Wu Kong', 4's mirror reflection, 5's holographic reflection, 6's laser, 7's lace.
8moment is the same. Although only a few partial photos were exposed, the overall style and appearance are still certain. The 8moment design is very creative, using denim tanning material, combined with water washing damage and some fine craftsmanship, making the shoes look very retro.
The inspiration came from the. Da Zhou integrated and abstracted it, finally forming the style of the shoes. But Sun Mingxiu's sentence 'so many kapital aren't wasted' seems to reveal the true inspiration source: Kapital.
This is a Japanese streetwear brand that is relatively small-scale in China. Bone elements, 'hobbit wind' and 'smiling face' are the most recognizable designs of Kapital in recent years. Last year, when Travis Scott wore them, many players paid attention to them. European and American stars like to wear their clothes. The 1807 style is similar to him. Basically, it's very distinctive.
Regardless of where the inspiration comes from, Li Ning has once again led the trend in China. dogge estimates that 8moment will be limitedly released, which is difficult to obtain, but like 8's New Year's edition, buying it is definitely worth the money.
Okay, that's the end of today's sharing. What do you guys think about Li Ning's amazing operation? Welcome to leave a comment to discuss.
