Li-Ning Company Limited is a Chinese sportswear and sports equipment company founded by former Olympic gymnast and billionaire entrepreneur Li Ning. The company endorses a number of athletes and teams worldwide.The Chinese sportswear brand got on people’s radars through its sneaker sponsorship deals with NBA star Dwyane Wade and a handful of other players, but it’s Li-Ning's recent sneaker and apparel releases that have really caught everyone’s attention.For FW19, Li-Ning brought back sleek archival tracksuits from the ’90s, adding hiking-inspired garments and even pinstriped suits with utilitarian pockets. And that's before we get to the brand's funky sneaker designs.The Furious Rider ACE sneaker also hopped on the ’90s revival bandwagon and landed on the Paris Fashion Week runway, while the Butterfly retro — an update of a sneaker worn by Chinese Olympians in 2000 — took design cues from Kanye West’s YEEZY Boost 700. Li-Ning sneakers have also been featured at New York Fashion Week, taking in influences from across the athletic spectrum and showing that, like China itself, Li-Ning has global ambitions.
