Li Ning Chitu 4 is officially retired. The number of decommissioned kilometers is 700 km.
This is the first pair of racing shoes I bought after running into the four divisions, and its midsole performance is completely outdated in today's new running shoes.
The sole is not a supercritical foam material at every turn now, and a large number of Li Ning's previous running shoes are equipped with this light foam material, including my previous ultra-light 13, and the overall performance is relatively mediocre.
Before I came into contact with supercritical foam materials, I was still very satisfied with his foot feeling, that is, the long distance was not friendly, the attenuation of the midsole after ten kilometers was still relatively obvious, and if it was on the plastic runway, it could barely be half a horse. If the concrete road is not very comfortable.
The side wall and torsion resistance were relatively excellent two or three years ago, and they are also excellent existence now, and the disadvantage is that the weight control as a racing shoe is still not very good. The wrapping feeling of the whole pair of shoes is so good that you dare to speed up, which is probably how Li Ning classified it as "racing". In fact, he is more like a pair of training shoes.
700 kilometers, the sole is quite wear-resistant, I am more than full palm running method. That is, the midsole material has no rebound anymore, and an ordinary ten-kilometer run to four-kilometer run is almost the same as running barefoot.
On tonight's final run, ten kilometers have severely drained its twilight midsole performance.
How do you deal with your running shoes after retirement? Keep a memento? Thrown? Dress for commuting?
