Li-Ning Hero - "Year of the Dragon" Jose Calderon Player Exclusive

Li-Ning Hero Year of the Dragon Jose Calderon Player Exclusive (1)

words // Brandon Richard

Last month, Li-Ning became the latest sneaker company to release special "Year of the Dragon" footwear. Their collection consists of four different shoes decked out in China-inspired themes. One of those shoes is the Hero, which was released in a limited run of 44 pairs from size 8 to 12. Though those with larger feet were seemingly left out in the cold on grabbing a pair, our friend Lucas from Eye Projekt managed to get his hands on this Player Exclusive version made for Toronto Raptors point guard Jose Calderon.

Made in Jose's size 13.5, the shoe sports the same blue-splattered orange leather upper, helped by white on the Li-Ning logo and outsole. Calderon personalization comes in the form of the Spanish flag on the cross-strap, Jose's 3-Finger logo on the tongue and number "8" on the heel.

You can grab the non-PE version of the "Year of the Dragon" Hero now from Li-Ning.
