Basketball shoes
Li-Ning (China) Sports Goods Co., Ltd.In Chinese traditional culture, the pattern of dragon scale represents the honor and glory of royal nobles. Inspired by this, the shoes are designed as a special edition for Baron Davis China Tour in 2009 to honor his great achievements in his NBA career. The details are treated in a very Chinese way by utilizing typical Chinese hand-making techniques like paper-cut and embroidery, which gives the shoes a combined feel of sobriety and grace.
