Thanks for your impression! I bought both the Challenger 4 and Elite 4, a couple of months ago and currently using the first one for tempo runs and hill trainings, while the later only for races and some track sessions. What can I say, the feelings are awesome with both! With the Challenger 4 I feel that I can use it for speed training as well as going at a smoother pace without trouble from the carbon plate (usually my easy runs are at 4'45"/km), while with the Elite 4, the propulsion is insane! I really love how it makes me go faster without putting much effort. If I had to compare them, I feel the Challenger 4 similar to the Endorphin Pro 3 I had until recently, maybe a little bit stiffer, but still with good cushioning. As with the Elite 4, I feel them more responsive and cushioned than the Metaspeed Sky+ I was wearing until buying these ones. As with sizing, and this was the only problem for me at first, I normally wear US11,5, but there wasn't that size so I went with US12 and felt them a little bit loose, but just solved it with a good knot and socks (I also replaced the laces, they were too basic). In the end, I highly recommend them if you are thinking about saving some money and trying the less common brands.
Thanks been waiting for this review after seeing the shoes in a shop when on holiday in Malaysia. Looks exciting and felt great in the shop. The lower end shoes are great price too. Eyeing the elite 4 for my marathon race day
Always love the videos from the lads! $500 for the ultra is insane.... shoe prices are going bananas at the moment, would love to see the new competition entering the market show a cause to bring prices down rather than continue in driving them up. The Elite and the Challenger though are certainly at a reasonable level price wise though.
Thanks for sharing, and really impressed by your test videos. this series from Lining is booming in China these years, and a bit curious about how your guys could purchase in Aust, from EC site or Lining store, is this brand quite popular there ?
They are not stability models, but with the firmer midsole than a lot of other Super Shoes and the carbon plate i found them to be a nice stable platform. Nathan RWA
There is very little supply of the adidas Adizero Pro Evo 1 currently. The Li-Ning models feel to have a bit firmed foam underfoot, and our testers have found them to be very durable.
I have feidan 4 challenger and my outside midfoot aches too much and i have to stop and i felt im going to be injured. There is a sort of bump in the outside midfoot part of the shoe. I am a supinator.

Hey can you do moderate effort in this shoes? More like a tempo efforts
how stable is the feidan challenger 4?. My left foot pronates inward. and the challenger 4 looks too narrow in the midfoot.
Great to see a new brand coming into the Aust market. Good stuff. Thanks for the reviews.

Hello, brother, I am a Chinese, and these shoes are not so expensive in China. About two hundred to three hundred dollars.
The Challenger and Elite are definitely the bang for buck shoes in the line up. Nathan RWA

Li-Ning has just arrived in Australia, we have found them to be a really nice option. The Challenger and Elite are also really well priced.
I want to see competitive prices for quality for the 80% normal runners
I pronate a little bit on my left food. how stable are the Challenger 4 and the Elite 4?

Do you recommend sizing up a half?
I was true to size. Nathan RWA
These shoes are Alpha Fly 3
Is it better than Adidas Adizero Adios Pro evo1?

A few of us found this and mention it in the review it is quite a narrow midfoot and did cause some irritation at times in testers
@@runningwarehouseaustralia is it only in the challenger or is it present in the elite and ultra as well?
We have found all models to be narrow through the midfoot
Are the ultra4s true to size?
I found them to be true to size. Nathan RWA
