Return Shoes, High-Profile Return To Create High-End Brands

With the growth of several generations of the old brand "Hui Li" in Pingliang road opened flagship store.

The high-profile return of "Hui Li" is just the first step in its return to the market.

GUI Cheng Gang, executive director of Huili Group, said that in order to enter more front-line department stores in the future, it will expand the number of stores nationwide to one thousand in three years.

Old fans love "Huili".

The "Hui Li" flagship store has an area of three hundred square meters. Besides the WB-1 classic basketball shoes with white bottom and red pattern, the shoes for sale are also commemorative shoes for the Expo licensed products. The designer and student's hand-painted shoes and the new casual shoes have more than 150 series of four categories, nearly 2000 kinds of styles.

At the peak of the morning passenger flow, almost all of the classic canvas shoes were full of shoes and shoes.

"I grew up in my back shoes, and I used to play football when I was little.

At that time, a pair of shoes seven or eight yuan, the sole is beef tendon, good quality, very durable. "

Chen master, who lives in Yangpu, recalls, "a few years ago, the old factory was closed, and I didn't find where to sell back shoes, and I never bought them again."

He laughs, "today came out to buy vegetables, just saw the opening ceremony, came to buy a pair, memories of childhood."

"This time, I know that Huili is going to open the flagship store. I came specially from Xuhui."

Aunt Wang, who lives in Xuhui, bought two pairs of WB-1 classic basketball shoes. "In the morning, boxing is very comfortable."

Reporters at the scene to see, like Aunt Wang at such an age of "back powder" is not uncommon, many from the city's districts to come to support.

In addition, some young post-80s children also come to the flagship store to purchase personalized hand-painted shoes.

On the first day of its opening, the flagship store sold nearly more than 400 pairs of sports shoes, including 70% of the sales of classic canvas shoes, and several times a day.

Foreigners love classic models.

In the mid 90s of last century, the old factory of Pingliang road was closed due to the impact of imported brands and high production costs.

In fact, Huili did not completely withdraw from the consumer's view, but because of low key location, awareness is not high.

Two or three years ago, with the trend of domestic goods resurgence, many of the "tidal shops" located in Dongping Road, Hengshan Road and Nanjing West Road were selling back and jumping shoes.

These seemingly low-key shops became foreigners' choice in Taobao.

"Classic shoes like Huili have sold 50 euros in France and other European markets, but they only sell tens of dollars in the domestic market, and the price difference is nearly ten times.

So many foreigners come to Shanghai to buy shoes in the store. They buy more than a dozen pairs and bring them back to friends.

Tian Bo, manager of a small shop in Jingan villa, introduces.

"The classic basketball shoes and football shoes with the characteristics of return are the best sellers, and some hand painted shoes are also popular with post-80s and 90s."

Tian Bo said, "we have entered some casual shoes before, but we find foreigners do not like these new styles which are not very characteristic. They like classic ones."

In addition, Yintai counters also sell "back" classic package, a pair of WB-1 basketball shoes, plus badges and information, the price is as high as 268 yuan.

Gui Chenggang said, "in the future, our plan is to build the brand positioning from the middle and low end to high-end, and gradually develop some high-end products.
