On the journey of nurturing children's healthy growth, we deeply understand the lifelong importance of foot development. In response to the increasingly concerning trend of childhood foot health issues, “The carp has leaped through the dragon's gate” Shoes were created to provide a free and comfortable environment for children. Drawing inspiration from traditional Chinese paper lanterns, we have innovatively designed a shoe structure that can expand 360 degrees, ensuring the most natural care for children's growing feet. Incorporating the essence of Chinese woodworking joints, our modular design not only offers the fun of DIY assembly but also upholds an eco-friendly, glue-free concept.



We use transparent TPU material and integrate a dynamic micro-energy generation system that converts the kinetic energy from each step into light, ensuring nighttime safety. The unique "growth" mechanism allows size adjustments through interchangeable modules, accompanying every stage of a child's development while reducing resource waste. Additionally, we have infused the design with the cultural symbolism of the "Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate," turning each pair of shoes into an emotional vessel that carries parents' hopes for their children's bright future.



This product is more than just a pair of shoes; it is a perfect blend of technology and culture, a promise for the future, and a gift of a green, healthy world for children. Together, let's pave a path of love and hope for our children's growth.
