Li-Ning Buckets

The Li-Ning Buckets is a sub-line of Jimmy Butler’s JB signature series, named after Butler’s “Buckets” nickname, and has also been worn on court by Warriors guard De’Anthony Melton. As the first model in the sub-line, it has no direct predecessor; it pairs a Phylon midsole with Li-Ning Boom cushioning and a TPU support component under a textile and synthetic 4D mesh upper. The outsole uses Li-Ning’s wear-resistant Tuff RB rubber. US-facing retailers listed it at $179.99, and a summer version in new colourways followed in May 2025.
