Much like Chinese electric vehicles, Chinese sports footwear brands have been making global waves. Joining top names like Li-Ning, Anta, and XTEP, Qiaodan has officially entered the Singapore market.

While Qiaodan is widely known for its basketball footwear and apparel—featuring its iconic player logo—the company now produces a comprehensive array of sports gear and running shoes. Qiaodan offers a versatile range at an accessible price point, catering to everyone from everyday trainers to high-performance racers.

Launched in August 2026, the latest lineup introduces the Qiaodan Leili 2.0 series, featuring a trio of models: the Leili 2.0, 2.0 GT, and 2.0 Max.
