So, Feiyue, the Shanghainese trainers which have been around since 1931 are really trendy at the moment, I won’t bore you with the history (there’s a great blog all about Feiyue if you want to read all about that) but basically some French guys bought the brand and are currently selling them to uber-trendy London/Paris sorts for around 50 euros a pop, the local price is around 20-30rmb . Anyway, I read about a shop at 585 ZunYi Lu yesterday which claims to have a long history with the Top One sports factory that makes Feiyue, so being extremely cheap really trendy I thought I’d check it out.
The shop was easy enough to find, quite close to the Luoshanguanlu station on line 2 (there’s a map here) and is satisfyingly small and dingey.
White Feiyue were around 35rmb, black were cheaper at 28rmb. I also picked up a pair of Warriors and a pair of Top One, can’t remember the exact prices but the total came to 150rmb. continue reading…
