Finally got around to picking up a pair of Hui Li (回力) shoes the other day on Xiangyang Road. Like the popular Fei Yue brand of sneakers, Hui Li are cheap but durable and super comfortable Chinese shoes.

Not as rich in history as Fei Yue sneakers (which were first made in Shanghai in the 1920s), Hui Li (known as “Warrior” in English) came out in the 1970s to meet the local demand and budget for popular western-style shoes like Nike.

I got them for 49 RMB, and luckily they had my size. Dosa likes them too!
