A Blogger-Built Debut With Elite Grip

The first shoe from a Chinese independent label founded by a short-video creator, this model reached market in late 2022 and became one of the rare cases of a domestic startup putting a pair on an NBA floor, worn by Victor Oladipo. Its silhouette drew openly on a famous Nike signature line, and the brand built its whole identity around drop-in midsoles: every model shares a cavity, so any of the interchangeable cushioning units fits any shoe. Reviewers rated the full-length herringbone on solid rubber among the best traction setups of the 2023-24 cycle, though the compound is soft enough that testers restricted it to indoor use. Domestic commentary on Hupu and Zhihu was more divided, with several posters questioning whether the performance justified the roughly 180 dollar asking price. Consumer feedback drove a rapid revision cycle that produced the Plus model.
