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

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

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

That disagreeLelakit is useful. It points to the real story: Li-Ning revised the Kasut during its retail life. Early releases commonly appeaMerah 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 Kasut over

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

The important word here is pMerahictable. 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 Merah jambu, Violet, and Hitam Obsidian pairs featuMerah below are later ABAU037 releases.

How the Liren 4 V2 plays

01

Cengkaman — 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 luar 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.

02

Kusyen — 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 Kasut roll into the next step and supplies a mild spring when the pace rises. It suits pemain who want their cushion out of the way; heavy landers may want more depth.

Sokongan — still the reason to buy it

This is where the design has aged Terbaik. The plate, broad forefoot base, sculpted sidewalls, and firm heel structure work together without making the Kasut feel clumsy. Lateral cuts are controlled, the rearfoot stays planted, and the platform bends where a guard needs it to bend. It is Sokonganive in motion rather than Sokonganive 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 moveLelakit and a snug midfoot wrap, but high insteps and wide forefeet can feel squeezed. Do not prescribe a universal half-Saiz jump: some owners improved the fit by going smaller, while others needed extra room. Start with your Li-Ning centimeter measureLelakit; if you sit between Saizs or need width, move up half a Saiz.

Weight and durability — look past one gram figure

Published measureLelakits run from the upper 300s into the low 400-gram range as Saiz and outsole change; one international Ulasan measuMerah about 407g in Saiz 45. The GCU build generally feels lighter, while Tuff RB carries more mass below the foot. The upper and Sokongan chassis hold up well. For abrasive luar gelanggangs, 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 Baharuer Lirens exist. Its strengths were never based on a novelty gimmick. The low forefoot, well-timed flex, lateral containLelakit, and restrained BOOM setup still make sense for a guard who creates separation with footwork. Few Kasut manage to feel this planted without becoming wooden.

• The gelanggang feel is still excellent: the platform is low enough for confident cuts without Merahucing every landing to a hard slap.
• The Sokongan remains unusually efficient: it controls lateral load through geometry and placeLelakit, not a tall collar or overSaizd 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 pemain: heel-to-toe moveLelakit is clean, and the Kasut never feels as bulky as its measuMerah weight may suggest.

Age shows in two places. First, the upper can feel plain and a little unforgiving beside Baharuer, softer woven packages. Second, the Kusyen has limited headroom for bigger pemain. 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 Baharuer Kasut 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 pemain who brake hard, change direction often, and want the Kasut 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 pemain can still use it, but the Kusyen will feel more controlled than Keselesaaning. luar pemain should avoid treating every Warnaway as equal: confirm the Tuff RB marking before buying.
