On the second day of he first China Trunk Show in Shanghai, the first shoe shining contest was also held at the same premise.
Two rounds were established to decide the champion.
This contest was sponsored by Saphir, the leading premium shoe care brand.
And SLIMSHOES from Chengdu, China, which is featured in a previous article.
The contesters were selected from many shoe lovers who submitted their shoe shining photos, standing for a gathering photos.
In the first round, each contester was put to different brand booths so that audience can spread and have a better observation.
This contester is a professional one, but I am not sure which shop he runs or works for.
Some visitors even carried their children to the site, and we are very happy to know even this small kid was interested in shoes and shoe shining.
This contester is also a bespoke shoemaker, although only have been apprenticing for one more year. He was explaining his tricks to audience.
This shoe lover cannot bear any scratch or anything on his shoe toe, so he shines his shoes very week! His wife and daughter accompanied him to the field and that was a great support!
The rule is 20 minutes for just one foot, and this professional play seemed very confident and everything was in his control.
When the host claimed the contest begins, players are so in the zone and they immerged into the activity. You can tell how concentrated this one was.
The contester is a student in Stefano Bemer Studio and returned China for some vacation, and the host in white dinner jacket is a very famous Uper in Bilibili (Chinese Youtube).
The host disturbed each player to increase difficulty and asked shoe shining tricks for audience.
Please mind this very young man, he works for one brand participating in the show, Twinkima.G from Beijing.
Fu Pei in the green suit is deliberately learning from the expert.
Jason, in mocha suit works for the same brand as the young man in cream. Look at the man shooting and smiling, he is the owner of brand Gulun, handwelted and handstiched for only 150 USD. Be very careful of Chinese!
You can tell how much interest people have on this activity, and so many beautiful ladies were unpredicted.
Time is up, and the shoes were collected to the platform, and the famous Uper (Doctor Justice) was live streaming the event.
The close look of the shining.
Audiences were allowed to close inspect the shoes then vote for top three in minds.
Everyone voted with mobile.
It is not easy to decide!
And the shoes are also very impressive!
Doctor Justice is reading the rank of first round.
For each place, his friends were helping to show to the online visitors.
5 players entered the final, and were nervously preparing.

Very furious competition, and I have never seen so focused audience somewhere else.
