The Li-Ning YuShuai 18 in the classic Coral Pink colorway is a high-performance basketball sneaker released in early 2024. The YuShuai series is known for its elite on-court performance, and the 18th iteration features a lightweight, balanced design with advanced cushioning and stability.

Key performance features

Cushioning: The YuShuai 18 is equipped with a full-length BOOM midsole, a high-rebound cushioning technology from Li-Ning. The setup is designed for both impact protection and energy return, providing a bouncy and responsive feel on the court.

Support and Stability:

POLYMER CORE DRIVE SYSTEM: An integrated system that combines Li-Ning's technologies for a balanced on-court experience.

SAS (Synchronous Coordination System): Features TPU support to enhance arch support and provide anti-rollover protection.

PROBAR LOC: A stabilizing device embedded in the midsole's arch connects the forefoot and heel, improving overall stability.

Traction: The outsole uses durable rubber with an irregular texture design, providing strong grip and anti-slip performance. Some versions, like the Ultra, use a GCU (Grip Control Unit) rubber for excellent on-court traction.

Upper: The shoe's upper features a new "biomimetic structure". It is made with a TPU mesh composite and hollow reinforcement for a lightweight yet sturdy and supportive wrap.
