Li-Ning Sportswear and Equipment

Li-Ning is a premier Chinese sports brand founded by iconic world-champion gymnast Li Ning in 1990. The brand was established with the vision of providing Chinese athletes with a domestic brand to wear on the world stage, specifically debuting at the Olympic Games. Over the decades, it has evolved from a local manufacturer into a global powerhouse in professional sports equipment, footwear, and apparel, competing directly with international giants.

The brand's production is largely centralized in China to take advantage of sophisticated textile and footwear manufacturing clusters. However, as part of its global supply chain strategy, some components and specialized assembly may occur in other manufacturing hubs across Southeast Asia. Li-Ning is well-known for its innovations in professional basketball footwear and badminton gear, maintaining high standards of technology and design.

Owned by Li Ning Company Limited, the brand is headquartered in Beijing and is listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. It remains under the stewardship of its founder's vision while expanding its footprint through strategic partnerships and high-profile athlete endorsements, solidifying its status as a cornerstone of China's sports industry.
