Li-Ning Outfield

The latest glove series by Akadema uses Precison Kip leather that is 20% lighter and tighter grained then steerhide . The Hides are harvested in Europe and tanned in Japan. The gloves are more pliable, easier to break in and have more tensile strenght then our competitors glove lines.

Chinese sportswear company Li-Ning is certainly making a name for themselves in the international basketball market.  Following up on the success of their signature models for the likes of Baron Davis and Jose Calderon, the Li-Ning Outfield  introduces a fresh silhouette and an unlikely collaboration.  The mid top shoe features a white leather upper with a mesh tongue and thick midsole.  Electric lime is used as an accent throughout the upper and paired with black for branding.  Standout features include the translucent lime outsole and the Michelin Man drop tag and embossed logo on the inner ankle.  While there is no word if this model will hit stateside is this new Li-Ning sneaker a shoe you would buy?

In addition to the Pro-Keds summer lineup we showed yesterday, the ever-so-popular Royal Plus Hi has landed at select retailers in two simple colorways. One pair is constructed of white buttery leather, while the other pair is dressed in black leather.
