Recently, World Athletics updated its list of approved racing shoes, and the Li-Ning Feidian 7 ELITE is prominently included; this certification is valid until June 8 next year.

Judging from photos of the shoe’s silhouette, the new-generation Feidian ELITE series shows further changes to the midsole, and any performance upgrades this model brings may become apparent at marathons in the second half of the year. Will the Feidian 7 ELITE be tweaked again before its official launch?

In fact, at the Great Manchester Run 10 km held on May 31 this year, the mysterious racing shoes worn by Selemon Barega, who successfully defended his title, appear to have been the Li-Ning Feidian 7 ELITE.

At the marathons later this year, will Li-Ning’s contracted marathon athletes such as 毛金虎 and 大迫杰 also choose to race in this shoe? At which race will the Feidian 7 ELITE make its debut — Berlin, Chicago, or Valencia?
