In the first round of the NBA playoffs between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Miami Heat, an incident involving Heat's Victor Oladipo brought attention to the unique shoes he wore, which were from the SPO Player1 model by Chinese blogger Ye Zi. This reflects the "independent shoemaking" trend. In the basketball shoe industry with high tech barriers, some Chinese sneaker bloggers like Ye Zi are trying to make shoes according to their own ideas. Despite facing skepticism and criticism in the first year, they sold over 50,000 pairs in the second half of 2023. Ye Zi focuses on using new materials and processes, which increases costs. Although it has been relatively smooth so far, with twists and turns, as they head towards 2024, there are both opportunities and hidden dangers in this independent shoemaking journey.

The sneaker industry has evolved to a point where individual brands like SPO can make a significant impact. Despite initial controversies and accusations of exploiting Kobe Bryant’s memory, SPO has managed to stay relevant and gain a following. Their fifth model, the Ranger, stands out for its unique design, featuring a wide silhouette and large suede areas, which offer protection but may lack agility. The brand’s visibility increased amidst criticism, and its unique marketing has helped maintain popularity. As debates around plagiarism and injuries have subsided, SPO continues to carve its own niche, highlighting the importance of design and features in sneakers. The Ranger’s distinctive side wall could be a breakthrough for individual brands, challenging the status quo in a market where aesthetics have become predictable. SPO’s courage to break molds might just make it a representative of change in the sneaker industry.
