The shoe used by world champions (Loh Kean Yew at the BWF Singapore Open)

The Li-Ning Gyrfalcon V delivers exactly what’s needed to help players excel on the battlefield all through offence as well as defence. This non-marking badminton shoe has plush, energy-returning foam and a knit textured shoe tongue with strategic materials that ensure a super breathable interior to help keep you fresh through your sets.

The concept of the Gyrfalcon V shoe is based on the ‘Gyrfalcon’ bird, the largest of the falcon species and a bird of prey. The main body of the shoe emulates an avian build. The colour and graphic wings of the shoe are similar to the largest falcon which has pointed wings and a long tail

Shoe Features:

  • Super breathable Comfort
    The Gyrfalcon V is built with comfort in mind. The upper layer adopts a single layer of mesh combined with the inner reinforcement to reduce weight and improve breathability and comfort. The outer side is perforated with pearlescent TPU film as a whole, which is light and transparent. Be it the material, make or build — the details come together to give durability, fit and comfort with the best stability and airflow.
  • Tuff Tip Durability
    Li-Ning uses Tuff tip technology to give the shoe a top-notch durable build. Highly abrasion-resistant material and a tuff tip insert are used in the shoe’s upper & lateral parts to ensure efficiency. The use of super wear-resistant material also adds to its durability.
  • Probar Loc
    Li-Ning’s technical feature ProBar Loc feature provides superior midfoot protection, stability and support during each step, reducing fatigue to help maintain a high level of athletic performance throughout your sets. PEBAX at the bottom of the arch combines the outer three-dimensional carbon plate to provide excellent stability, lateral support and stable movement gait.
  • Carbon fiber plate
    The lightweight Carbon Fiber Material used in the sole has good toughness, shock resistance and impact resistance. It provides good support and force transmission during exercise and reduces energy loss to improve athletic performance.
  • Design
    No matter your style, here’s something incredible you shouldn’t miss out on. The visuals are modelled after a falcon’s wings. The shoe is available in bold, bright colours and the classic white/ black & blue variant.

So don’t hesitate, go the champions’ way! Get assured support for all the intense badminton movements with optimum cushioning, ankle support, and traction to get superior efficiency.
