Li-Ning and Erik Ellington Release New “SUN-RISE” Colorway
In partnership with skateboarding icon Erik Ellington, Li-Ning continues to consolidate its lately introduced Skateboarding category by releasing a new colorway of the Erik Ellington signature model entitled “SUN-RISE”. The new colorway follows, the in July announced partnership, as the second drop and stays true to his origin by delivering a high-performance skate shoe.
SUN-RISE underlines the contemporary aesthetic of Erik Ellington’s signature silhouette which redefines the classic skateboarding shoe with modern materials and technology to improve the function, comfort, and product performance. Inspired by the sunrise, the black upper harmonizes smoothly with the gradient pink-purple midsole which expresses the morning light while the other details echo the overall theme-story. Additionally, the shoelaces come with a 3M reflective yarn.
By offering maximum comfort and minimal weight, Li-Ning’s engineered “BOOM” mid-sole technology becomes the centerpiece of the lately introduced colorway. The large area use of translucent materials enhances the sense of technology and hierarchy as well as gives you full control while skateboarding.
Captured by photographer Lukas Gansterer, Erik Ellington takes his team - Zach Allen, Tinga Johnson, and Davey Salyes – to the streets of Los Angeles to skate SUN-RISE, his second product launch for Li-Ning.
The Li-Ning x Erik Ellington SUN-RISE model drops March 25th at Ssense as well as Luisa Via Roma followed by selected skate shops later.
