i like to wear converse onestar for kung fu.
go to any trendy shop in your city and expect to pay up the ying yang for a pair of those shoes
If a pipe hits you and no one is around, would you make a sound?
I got some adidas kung fu shoes, which are nice, but I really like those aasics. I think they may have been custom made to match the bruce lee looking yellow jumpsuit for the movie.
I do like the design styles of Vans, but they just don't fit my feet well.BILLY's Outfits Vans Authentics in Traditional Kung-Fu Jackets

Japanese sneaker retailer BILLY’s has unveiled a special collaboration with Vans – the BILLY’s x Vans Authentic “Kung-fu” Pack.
Taking on a mold that borrows some design specifications from Vans’ Slip-on silhouette, the sneaker is outfitted in the shape of a traditional Chinese kung-fu jacket. Three frog buttons appear at the top in place of laces next to elastic collars. To complete the sneaker design, Japanese Katakana is placed at the rear quarter of the midsole as a cheeky nod to the Kiai shouts employed in martial arts.
The BILLY’s x Vans Authentic “Kung Fu” will be available at BILLY’S physical store in Nagoya on June 29 in colorways “Black/White” and “Navy/Gum” for approximately $74 USD.
In other related news, Converse has unveiled its sustainable “Renew Initiative” via Chuck Taylors.

That being said, I don't think Chinese 'frog' buttons would work that well for shoes. They work great for shirts and jackets, but shoes need adjustable laces.
