Li-Ning Liren 4 V2 리뷰: Is It Still Worth It?

Li-Ning Liren 4 V2 리뷰: Is It Still Worth It?

The Liren 4 V2 has become one of those 신발 whose reputation depends heavily on which 리뷰 you found first. One well-watched Chinese 리뷰 treated it as a broad disappoint남성t. Other testers called it a highly capable all-rounder for light and midweight guards. Longer owner reports are similarly split on 접지력, yet much more consistent about its low 코트 feel, secure heel, and strong lateral 지지력.

That disagree남성t is useful. It points to the real story: Li-Ning revised the 신발 during its retail life. Early releases commonly appea레드 with a GCU outsole, while later ABAU037 releases commonly use Tuff RB rubber. There also appear to be batch-level changes inside those broad groups. The Liren 4 V2 is still worth buying, but “which version?” has to come before “what score?”

First, turn the 신발 over

‘Liren 4 V2’ describes the silhouette, not one perfectly uniform retail specification. The cleanest dividing line is the outsole. Early ABAU059 컬러ways are commonly associated with GCU, while later ABAU037 컬러ways generally use Tuff RB rubber. That is a useful shortcut, not a substitute for checking the actual pair: outsole markings, 컬러way batches, and product photography remain the safer guide.

The important word here is p레드ictable. GCU can grip and it can wear well, but the reported spread is too broad to promise the same result across every release. Tuff RB is not the exotic option; it is simply the one we would buy with less hesitation. The 핑크, Violet, and 블랙 Obsidian pairs featu레드 below are later ABAU037 releases.

How the Liren 4 V2 plays

01

접지력 — version matters more than the pattern

The tread geometry is capable of sharp stops and quick direction changes, but outsole material determines how often you get that result. Tuff RB pairs produce the more dependable read: solid bite, manageable dust pickup, and enough rubber for occasional 야외 sessions. Early GCU pairs can feel quicker and lighter, yet their grip on dusty or slightly damp wood drew repeated complaints. If your gym floor is rarely pristine, choose rubber.

쿠셔닝 — fast BOOM, not soft BOOM

Full-length BOOM gives the Liren 4 V2 a compact, responsive ride. The forefoot stays close to the floor and the heel has enough protection for controlled landings, but neither end feels pillowy. A full-length, shovel-shaped PEBAX plate helps the 신발 roll into the next step and supplies a mild spring when the pace rises. It suits 플레이어 who want their cushion out of the way; heavy landers may want more depth.

지지력 — still the reason to buy it

This is where the design has aged 베스트. The plate, broad forefoot base, sculpted sidewalls, and firm heel structure work together without making the 신발 feel clumsy. Lateral cuts are controlled, the rearfoot stays planted, and the platform bends where a guard needs it to bend. It is 지지력ive in motion rather than 지지력ive by bulk, which is why the Liren 4 V2 still feels current.

Fit — excellent when the last agrees with you

The shape favors narrow and regular feet. Lockdown becomes excellent once the thin upper settles, with little heel move남성t and a snug midfoot wrap, but high insteps and wide forefeet can feel squeezed. Do not prescribe a universal half-사이즈 jump: some owners improved the fit by going smaller, while others needed extra room. Start with your Li-Ning centimeter measure남성t; if you sit between 사이즈s or need width, move up half a 사이즈.

Weight and durability — look past one gram figure

Published measure남성ts run from the upper 300s into the low 400-gram range as 사이즈 and outsole change; one international 리뷰 measu레드 about 407g in 사이즈 45. The GCU build generally feels lighter, while Tuff RB carries more mass below the foot. The upper and 지지력 chassis hold up well. For abrasive 야외 코트s, the rubber outsole is the practical choice even if it gives away some of the GCU pair’s lively feel.

What has aged well—and what has not

The Liren 4 V2 does not feel old simply because 신상품er Lirens exist. Its strengths were never based on a novelty gimmick. The low forefoot, well-timed flex, lateral contain남성t, and restrained BOOM setup still make sense for a guard who creates separation with footwork. Few 신발 manage to feel this planted without becoming wooden.

• The 코트 feel is still excellent: the platform is low enough for confident cuts without 레드ucing every landing to a hard slap.
• The 지지력 remains unusually efficient: it controls lateral load through geometry and place남성t, not a tall collar or over사이즈d plastic cage.
• The plate is useful rather than theatrical: it helps the transition but does not turn the forefoot into a rigid lever.
• The shape still rewards quick 플레이어: heel-to-toe move남성t is clean, and the 신발 never feels as bulky as its measu레드 weight may suggest.

Age shows in two places. First, the upper can feel plain and a little unforgiving beside 신상품er, softer woven packages. Second, the 쿠셔닝 has limited headroom for bigger 플레이어. BOOM holds its response well, but this is not the plush, high-stack version of the material. If your game involves frequent hard landings or you simply prefer a softer ride, the Liren 4 V2 asks for a compromise that 신상품er 신발 may not.

Who should still buy the Liren 4 V2?

Buy it if you are a quick guard or lighter wing, have a narrow-to-regular foot, and prefer a low, firm ride over deep compression. It remains especially good for 플레이어 who brake hard, change direction often, and want the 신발 to stay quiet underfoot. For most people, the Tuff RB version is the straightforward choice.

Skip it—or at least try it on first—if you have a broad forefoot, a high instep, or need generous impact protection. Heavier 플레이어 can still use it, but the 쿠셔닝 will feel more controlled than 편안함ing. 야외 플레이어 should avoid treating every 컬러way as equal: confirm the Tuff RB marking before buying.
