I have heard that Chinese prefer clothing with hanfu elements rather than magua inspired clothing, but nobody ever explained why that is the case. It was really nice to hear the reasoning behind it and especially in mandarin 😇

Great points about the Manchu influence! However, I think Caroline Marie Yim does an interesting write up on the intersection of this clothing’s history and how it references more than just Manchu Magua but also has influence of Mongol buttons, as well as the fact that this style was popularized by Cantonese and Hokkien immigrants to the west who were in direct opposition to the Qing. China has such a rich history that it’s hard to pin down its influence to just one period of time.

Sounds like someone at Adidas should've done a bit more research. 🤔

That was such a great explanation! I wouldn't want to wear it then, because I wouldn't want to cause a painful feeling to people in public as a visitor. 🙏🏻

The Qing Dynasty lasted from 1640’s to the 1910’s. That is basically large part of chinese history we gotta accept all good and all bad.

Honestly, knowing the history I'm not feeling it. I don't want to disrespect someone else in the name of fashion. That's not attractive

Love that you’re speaking Mandarin with both the pinyin and the characters as well as the English and the colours really help too.

Appreciate the history lesson but if we look deep enough at anything we would probably find something/ a reason not to wear or do something. Cant it just be a jacket with a cool design. Why overthink it.

I wonder if Adidas had cultural consultants, this seems like something that should have come up
