Brand Story

"To dust is gone the fame achieved in thirty years; Like cloud-veiled moon the eight-thousand-mile Plain disappears. Should youthful heads in vain turn grey, We would regret for aye."

This verse originates from The River All Red, a renowned poem by Yue Fei, a celebrated general of the Southern Song Dynasty in China. It depicts a magnificent journey of courage, dreams, and perseverance, symbolizing the challenges and hopes encountered along life's path. EIGHT KM draws inspiration from this profound imagery, adopting it as the brand name to embody the spirit of brave dream-chasing and steadfast hope for the future. To us, every girl's growth journey is her own unique "eight thousand miles." From her first tentative steps through the playful exploration of childhood to the blossoming confidence of youth, EIGHT KM stands as her loyal companion. We redefine the meaning of a "princess"—she is not only beautiful but, like Hua Mulan, embodies kindness, wisdom, independence, and courage, shining brightly on the stage of life.

EIGHT KM, established in 2016, specializes in crafting princess shoes for girls. Each pair is designed to symbolize determination and inspire the courage to pursue their dreams. We believe every girl can be her own hero—gracefully dancing in her princess with elegance and poise, while bravely facing life's challenges with the spirit of Mulan. No matter how many storms (clouds) arise along the journey, the future always holds a guiding light of hope (moon) to illuminate the path forward.
