If the equipment supplier Li Ning has struggled to rebound since the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese brand is far from being at the bottom of the abyss. She even offered Dwayne Wade advertising in 2013 to appeal to basketball fans across the country. As part of this partnership with Huami Technology (an entity of the Xiaomi group), it intends to regain growth by embarking on embedded technology. If Nike has abandoned hardware to focus on software, Li Ning chooses the opposite!

In his press release, Li Ning noted that he has partnered with Huami Technology to benefit from his wearable experience, with the goal of produce affordable running shoes for Chinese people.
