Introducing FEIYUE

Feiyue literally means “Flying Forward”.

This lightweight canvas plimsoll first hit the streets of Shanghai in the 1920s, bringing together all walks of life, from workers to politicians. Feiyue crossed the borders and arrived in France in 2006.

Without losing any of its authentic vintage charm, this lightweight canvas shoe then underwent a series of transformations. Its DNA gradually evolved, combining French and international influences.

Considerable work has been conducted on improving quality standards: with a complete revision of the original form and more carefully selected materials, the resulting shoe combines aesthetics with durability. With these modifications complete, the very first collection was launched in France in February 2006. Since then, Feiyue has seen many different varieties and is constantly changing.

Innovative models are thus constantly appearing, sporting new colors and new materials.
