Chinese sportswear brand LI-NING unveils the new iteration of the captivating Essence 2 sneaker model. Retaining the bold deconstructed look, the high-top sneaker model is adorned in a paneling construction throughout the entire piece. There are areas that boasts a bricolage of materials that range all the way from synthetic mesh to rubber, faux leather, real leather, and much more.
On top of this paneling accent, the brand also decorates the sneaker with an eclectic color palette with teal green, bright red, and more. The lateral side of the sneaker is complete with some graphic prints to continue the dramatic design. Finally, it sits on top of a chunky rubber sole unit with additional details including the laces, perforated panels, and iridescent heel counter.
