Exclusive Look at How Feiyue Kung Fu Shoes Are Made 

Someone should start a "if it ain't #Dafu, it ain't #FeiYue" campaign! Many have always disparaged Chinese factories for counterfeits but this is actually the reverse.

Feiyue is only one of two shoe companies still vulcanizing(bake) their shoes the other is Vans. All other sneaker companies use the cold glue method and this is why the soles split from the upper so easily !

I love feiyue shoes the minimalist kind and I find them extremely comfy and well priced. I believe I got the Chinese version because they came in the bag with Chinese letters and am extremely happy with them.

Good for the these guys. They’re making the best out of a bad situation.

DaFu originally owned the brand “Feiyue”, but later (in the 80s I think) they sold the brand to a company in Shanghai due to Feiyue’s low performance. This company produces the TOP ONE Feiyue (green triangle, brand name Dabowen in China). Then, around 2010, the French guy made Feiyue so popular. DaFu feels so regret and jealous lol, and started to produce Feiyue again. When I was a kid, we only knew Dabowen Feiyue with that green triangle. And I think that’s what Kungfu masters wear.

Low key been thinking about getting a pair of these! The first time I heard of the brand was seeing them at Madewell

Awesome!! I just bought a pair of black 501 Feiyue Dafu last week in Shenzhen - fresh genuine ones from China.

I took a photo of a friend of mine and they were wearing a pair of these. I thought they were the coolest looking shoes. Very unique

GREAT VIDEO!! love the content and the way it is presented. Even I want a pair omggg❤️

We have the original Chinese ones on sale on the Goldthread Shop! Buy them here: shop.goldthread2.com/products/feiyue-kung-fu-sneakers

i bought a pair after watching this video. No joke. Very good price and it is so comfortable!!!

In my opinion Dafu makes the authentic Feiyue shoe. I tried the french version thinking I might like it, but the shoes were uncomfortable and broke within a few months. Dafu shoes last 1-2 years depending on how much they are worn. Light, flexible, and comfortable. Dafu shoes are the shoes for me. It’s just sad that their brand name was stolen from them.

beautifull shoes, i remember when EVEYRONE had a pair in paris france, it was so fashionable

I've gone to the website, but unfortunately can't seem to find where I can purchase these, can somebody help please?

Link to buy a originai cinese pair please - I love it

There's more than 2 Feiyues tho. Dafu Feiyue is the Chinese fashion Feiyue and Dabowen/Top one is the Chinese kungfu Feiyue. The U.S. Feiyue is basically an expensive Dafu.

You remember the old dragon fly shoes? They were amazing. Can’t find them anymore

Is your link broken to buy a pair?

Anyone got an updated website I could go for a pair ?

where can i buy them at 2022?

I have always loved these shoes. I am looking to see who I can get in contact with from this company for a new shoe design that I have been thinking about. Only would like to work with this company. Can explain further. Is there someone I can speak with regarding this matter? Thank you

lol that mantou analogy is great

Where can we get the Dafu shoes now?

Great video!

12 hrs day I wear corks (spike soled logging boots). After work I used to wear Mens Keds (which are no longer made). They lasted me 11 years. How long will these last?

Why didn't you talk about the green triangle top one versions?

Thank you for this story! I was worried Dafu used unethical manufacturing practices because of how cheap their Feiyues are! This video gives me a glimpse inside their world and what they're doing looks pretty amazing. Stoked to support an the authentic brand again 👍

This is awesome, way to promote the original makers and brand and expose the vultures.

Feiyue must open a store in china. This was the legacy of chairman mao. This shoe brand must returned and show to the world how that french guy stole the 100 yr old Chinese shoe brand.

Is there a website or ecommerce platform where I can buy the shoes?

now....who is counterfeiting who ?

What happened to the store for the feiyue shoes?

I remember seeing something Simi to these in Puerto Rico, They Were Called Butterfly, they're very identical except the soles were Green and were mostly worn by women

Where can we buy these shoes in stores? Does Da Fu have shops in China or Hong Kong?

luv this video!!

Now I want one...

Love Love Love this video! Well done! One question though, you show the green triangle bottom label Feiyue, but don't speak to what that particular shoe represents in the saga of What is the Real Feiyue. Where are the green triangle bottom labeled Feiyue from? And also Top One on the Tongue? What does it mean? Thank you for your feedback!

i just received a new 'improved' version from dafu. the main shoe is no longer a minimalistic shoe. it feels exactly like a pair of chuck taylor's, albeit at a cheaper price. The width of the shoe is at MEDIUM width, so this shoe(even though it claims to have a wide toebox) isn't suitable for people with wide feet like myself, I usually wear 2E width shoes. The length of the shoe runs true to indicated sizing.

Wish I could get the originals and not the french ones, i tried the link and its not working

Love these shoes super great for lion dancing and dragon dancing

Personally i think that the PRC Feiyue is like "The Chappelle's Show" and the France Feiyue is Like Comedycentral. Legally the Rights belong to the France company. But man......

Do they have a website to buy the shoes directly from them?

Sat here waiting for that Live Leak icon to appear

Can someone advise me how to legally order Chinese original feiyue shoes, considering I live in eastern europe and definitely want to dodge the french version of the shoes... I don't want a copy of a copy of... you get the idea. Thank you! :*

"We bake our shoes, ya want pepperonis on that?"

How do I buy the real ones? All I can find are the French

Unfortunately not on Banggood !

Where can I buy a legit pair for under $40

Ive bought many.... one pair in China for 1$ or something like that, 15 years ago, they lasted only few days training on rough concrete, these shores the og feiyue are for training on soft ground

东单那一期不发了吗

But does it make a better wrestling foot gear than the Onisuka Tiger?

I want a pair if 501's

I would like to purchase "The Real DaFu"..in a high top.I seem to be getting confused. First I read red dotes are from the French imposters,then I see red dots on the shoes being made in this video...at a China factory.Then there is the size issue,I would like the equivelant to a U.S. 10,is that a 43 or a 44 or a 45 ?

what does DaFu mean?

I just wish they would make half sizes

where are. my Feiyue shoes!!!! I got the European version and got so mad they are not the original and the details are obviously!!!!!! why I didn't watch this video before. Damn it!!

That real sucks that international intellectual property doesn't align with local intellectual property. But good job getting lemons to make lemonade!

bro whats their online website??

Man your site is under maintenance 😔

Does someone know if feiyue DaFu change their brand name just to DaFu?

I love the original chinese feiyue for martial arts.Most kung fu schools have a connection to get the originals for their students and since they take a beating during training, I rather use them than pay extra for the foreign "designer" ones.

it looks like kodachi shoes

"Feiyue!…Feiyue!…"

Grown and Healthy mad it to the video yeah

That french guy, was solding a fake feiyue as he wasn't given the authority by the owner of original feiyue to copy the product. He only coordinated with the Contractor which wasn't the owner of the brand. Feiyue comes from chairman mao, it was his idea.

Супер!

Cheddar.

$15 vs $50

There great for parkour in the gym that is. Pros are you can wear the without socks as the insole is. Shoes that would come up when you take your foot out if you where bear foot wearing regular tennis shoes. So you can wear the shoes with or without socks. There very flexible and comfy. Cons. If your looking for parkour shoes you could get these but I would not train height drops in these no matter how good your landing is your gonna feel your feet alot. And it not that absorbent. So your feet will get bruised. The sole takes a while to break in and if you train in them outside on concrete or brick they dont last long. As there not very durable.

Adidas shoes coffee feiyue design and Chinese people must promote feiyue as it was a Chinese brand

There is no fucking comparison between chinese feiyue and French feiyue. I have them all Top One, Dafu Feiyue, French feiyue and the difference in detail and quality between the French ones to the Chinese is HUGE. People like remain loyal to their origins but it isn't really worth it. Just because they have Chinese origins doesn't mean that other people can't do good or even better than them. All the Chinese ones that I bought they lack attention to details, less quality materials and small imperfections if seen with carefully. The French ones are more expensive but they are just pure art. Even the laces are carefully designed in their especial editions. Of course, for martial arts the Chinese ones are better because they are cheaper and more flexible. I train with both and yes I prefer the cheaper Chinese ones to train, because if I destroy them I don't blame about my money. But in terms of quality and longer lasting. Don't even hesitate to buy the FRENCH ONES.

I luv you

This is genius marketing to hype a brand that has nothing special about it. Sorry but someone had to say it

Goddamn Bastian! The Chinese are always better. They work harder, greater culture, more original. Hence a better shoe. A shoe for strictly fashion, makes for a weaker person. You must use it for practical reasons, and looking cool while you kickass will always follow.

bruh u literally have like 5 pairs of these from martial arts didn't know it was that popular 💀

lol fuckery.

That is sooo fucked but hay it happens both ways

FEIYUE Shoes are originally made for chinese Military back then that's why The original Chinese FEIYUE Shoes is Durable and Stretchable and has perfect soft soles Rather than the French Feiyue That it's damn Stiff It's not wushu shoes anymore.

Does it have that Made In China smell? 🤔

French guy Bastian won’t win my support. Not authentic

Was there a french language called feiyue??? This french company must be sued for using a Chinese brand who was already existed since chairman mao era. Chinese people must boycott the french feiyue. Fei Yue wasa chinese language.

This is a very biased onesided view. There's no real mention of them copying TigerClaw, the fact the "original" Feiyue company went bankrupt and then DaFu (after Feiyue Europe) established and copied the higher quality styles that were already being sold globally. They are basically a copy of tiger claw + feiyue Europe. DaFu claim to be authentic when they have less heritage than their Chinese and European Feiyue cousins.

So China has a history of copying and reverse engineering foreign brands, but they don't like it when others do it...Oh the sweet irony..

Cool, the brands Top One, Tiger Claw, Dafu and Zelten are all legit Feiyue brands and all chinese brands. Feiyu with the Feiyu logo is the american version (street wear version, more stiff), by a french company, redesigned from the Feiyue kung fu version from Dafu which is more flexible than the street wear version (the american version). Dafu is the original makers of the Feiyue shoes and the parent company is Double Coin but Dafu has gone with the sole style and version of the french version (Feiyue with Feiyue logo on the tongue) whichis american version that's more for street wear instead of martial arts. So if one ones the street wear, Dafu (which doesn't have the Feiyue on the side) the original maker or the Feiyue by the french company with the Feiyue logo on the tongue (american version) that's the one to buy but if one wants the kung fu version of Feiyue, it's the Top Brand, Tiger Claw or Zelten. These are are all legit Feiyues but there are true fake Feiyus that have these brands (or a different name making them not fakes but inferior clones) but are inferior, the sole and quality of the make is inferior. God bless.
