Review Consensus
No full performance reviews of the Buckets have been published yet. Li-Ning designed it for lightweight guards and forwards who both drive and shoot and who need flexibility and quick movement on the court.
Release Date: January 2025
The Li-Ning Buckets is a sub-line of Jimmy Butler’s JB signature series. De’Anthony Melton of the Golden State Warriors wore the Tennis colourway (ABAV051-12) during the 2025-26 season. That colourway belongs to the upgraded summer version (ABAV051) that Li-Ning released in May 2025, following the original model’s January 2025 launch, but retailers do not describe the technical changes between the two. The shoe pairs a textile and synthetic upper with a Li-Ning Boom midsole and a Tuff RB rubber outsole, and import retailer Shopnings lists it at $179.99.
