Li-Ning Red Hare 9 Ultra vs Feidian 6 Elite

The Li-Ning Feidian 6 Elite and Li-Ning Red Hare 9 Ultra are two impressive shoes from the Chinese brand, each built for different uses. The Feidian 6 Elite is the purpose-built racing shoe, so it's lighter, more streamlined, and has a spoon-shaped full carbon fiber plate. The Red Hare 9 Ultra is meant to be a more versatile, max-cushioned trainer. It's much higher stacked, which makes it heavier, but the deeper cushioning offers better impact protection, especially over the course of a long run. The tall stack of foam in the Red Hare 9 Ultra is partially stabilized by a winged midfoot shank.
