Li-Ning LN Face shoe test

And that's exactly why I caught my eye on LN Arc, because it already looked good in the pictures,

but its live performance far surpasses the press material. It is produced in many colors, there are more solid variants, e.g. black, and there are two badass versions, red-blue and gray-aquamarine, which can easily be worn on the street. Besides, it is the material is double mesh, quite thick, protects relatively well against the elements - which makes it a spring/summer/autumn shoe - and is full of fine design details that you are used to from Western brands. I can finally say it's also perfect in appearance opponent of any of Li-Ning's competitors.

One of the tricks of designing the shoe exterior is that, contrary to the pictures you see when you wear them, you look at footwear from a completely different angle, because completely different details come out from above. For example, visible from the side, white insole with holes it pretty much dominates the LN ARC, but this can hardly be seen from a "bird's eye view", rather it is a mixture of the two blue colors and the reddish-burgundy, which very hot. You noticed that the Li-Ning discreetly concealed his trademark on the tongue the manufacturer, which is presumably covered by the shoelace? Very well groomed, and it's not an ostentatious solution at all, I like it much better than being slapped in the face with, say, a big bazi pipe or a jumping puma that runs along the entire side of the shoe.

The design of the corner part is also interesting,

since this is not the typical solution for cushioning. A little bit of the For Super Light XVI reminds me, although the sponge is more solid, and this too it is very pleasant, not a trace at all, but e.g. Asics typically works with thicker and harder padding, although those pike are also heavier. Very the language is good, lies on the ground, and the shoe laces can also be pulled tight enough, but still do not hold the foot in such a way that it squeezes the blood out of the ankles.

A I had a slight feeling of lack regarding the sole, not in the technological part, but in relation to the available information. I have mentioned several times that in this sense, Li-Ning still has something to learn from Western brands, although e.g. Asics doesn't say the drop value either, and it's not the only parameter that I can't find with them either. Since LN ARC is basically one Footwear designed for a distance of 5 kilometers, so much magic did not have to be worked into the lower part, this is not yet the distance where the pike has to work madly to compensate for leg fatigue, as, say, Rouge Rabbit IV or the Mid Racing in the case of.

Fortunately, despite the general lack of information, you can tell that Li Ning is already known for its shoes ARC – ditch? ÁERCÉ, like Iron Man's reactor? – method, which is a vibration absorbing technology. In fact, it is nothing but one of fused rubber material, which has a depression in the middle that supports the midsole and provides proper support. The other, which is not specifically mentioned, but if someone looks at the sole, he will obviously notice that in the areas where the cross wear from the typical foot position develops, there the shoe received extra ribbing, which increases adhesion. This is not the bullshit category, it really grips well, but this is not a hiking boot Vibram sole.

Since the heel is relatively high, the material underneath - I think EVA or TPU will be, but the description doesn't mention it with a stinky word - it's pretty thick, and that's why it is very comfortable to walk in and running too. You don't have to overthink things, the shoes are great for everyday use and occasional runs, but don't go to the Budapest marathon with them. I left the best, the price, for last. Typically for HUF 6500-7000 can be purchased even if there is no sale on it. This is a completely realistic price, in fact, I would argue that the LN Arc is worth more. Sometimes, however, you can beat the price to under HUF 6000 - I bought it for HUF 5200 - with coupons, in such cases it's a sin to leave.

In the meantime, I put off writing the test until I got it coupon too, and flash salt in the context of cheap again, so I pulled in the gray-blue variant also next to the red one, go for it as long as there are normal sizes available.
