Yeah, that’s definitely possible. But at least of now, in China the Li-Ning Red Hare and other well-reviewed Li-ning running shoes are widely available and quite popular in China via their retail stores, so I suspect they’ll carry some inventory at least at the start unless it really flops. Bunch of reddit posts from international travelers (mostly from southeast asia) happily trying out and buying Li-ning shoes in China on vacation in their retail outlets.
