The world’s first critical foaming 3D-printed shoes—Li Ning's "Wudao Future"—are now officially launched, priced at ￥1299. This model merges innovative technology with Eastern philosophy, breaking the boundaries of traditional footwear craftsmanship and redefining "future functional aesthetics."

Technological Core

Bèng Material 3D Printing + Supercritical Foaming Technology: Significantly reduces shoe weight while enhancing cushioning and rebound performance.
Innovative Polyurea Spray Coating Process: Reinforces the midsole structure, offering wear resistance and tear strength for a perfect balance of function and durability.
Layered and Interlocking Outsole Design: Provides stable traction, suitable for various sports scenarios.

Design Philosophy

Inspired by karst landforms and cave systems, the layered textures of the upper and midsole mimic the weathered surface of rock carved over millennia. The organic structure pays tribute to the sculpting power of nature, embodying the Eastern philosophy of "harmony between humanity and nature, and the spirit in all things," symbolizing an eternal dialogue among humans, nature, and spacetime.

Material Craftsmanship

The upper combines Lycra elastic fabric, premium leather, and structural zippers, striking a balance between dynamic elasticity, refined touch, and enhanced silhouette, interpreting a personalized vision of "functional futurism."

Colorways and Details

Launch colors: Elegant Cream / Deep Black
Heel height approximately 5.5cm, with distinct structural layers that offer both visual impact and comfortable wear.

Release Information

Li Ning "Wudao Future" is now officially available through authorized channels. This is more than just a shoe—it is a convergence of technology, nature, and culture, allowing wearers to traverse between past and future, with every step echoing the resonance of civilization.
