Founded in 1995 ,Yearcon has developed in shoe industry for 22 years, and its retail stores are now covering every main city in China. Yearcon has now become literally a national brand. However, due to the affordable prices and down-to-earth promotions in the past, the brand image of Yearcon has been traditional and lack of style. So Yearcon had attempted to update the brand image by cutting-edge creative fashion prints this winter.

 

The Nine has first set the theme of the winter collection as “Xiang Jian Huan”, a famous name of tunes in ancient Chinese literature, which means “to reunion with pleasure”, for winter is the season in a year when people get together and have fun being with their family and friends. According to Jody Xiong, founder of The Nine, they were not only aimed at merely giving an oriental touch to one season, but also they are trying to establish a style tailor-made for Yearcon. “We make an impression of a chic and one-of-a-kind Chinese national shoe brand,” said Xiong.
