The Miami Heat are fresh off another NBA Finals appearance and are poised to make another one of their patented late-season runs this year. No team exhibits toughness like Miami, and no player embodies "Heat Culture" like their small forward Jimmy Butler.
Butler has been the catalyst of Miami's last two Eastern Conference championships, which has catapulted him into superstar status. The 6x NBA All-Star has been the face of multiple national ad campaigns and launched his own signature sneaker line with the Chinese brand Li-Ning.
Earlier this season, Butler debuted the second installment of his signature sneaker line, and fans can finally buy the hoop shoes online. Below is everything online shoppers must know about the Li-Ning Jimmy Butler 2.

The Li-Ning Jimmy Butler 2 has officially launched in the 'Miami Heat Home' colorway for $225 in adult sizes. Athletes and fans can expect more fire colorways to come, but the performance basketball shoes will be sold exclusively on the KICKS CREW website and app.
In addition to looking good on the court, the Li-Ning Jimmy Butler 2 performs even better. Built for Butler's explosive performances, the brand's design team added Li-Ning Boom, Boom Fiber, and GCU (Ground Control Unit) into the shoes. This is the first model in Li-Bing history to sport much of this technology.
Meanwhile, the sneaker platform KICKS CREW has been in the news a lot lately, thanks to its rapid growth. The company has drawn investments from NBA All-Stars Damian Lillard and Kyrie Irving, in addition to locking down exclusive deals with brands that make it easier for North American customers to find rare sneakers.
Not many hoopers can ball like "Jimmy Buckets," but we can at least look like him by wearing his signature sneakers on the court. Stay locked into FanNationKicks.com for all of your daily sneaker news from the sports world.
