These are shoes to wear with my Monkey King costume and mask, they complete the look! The legend of the monkey king is an ancient Chinese story, with fable and fact mixed together. In short he has become a much loved figure in Chinese culture, that children all know and recognize. The best way to get to know the Monkey King is to watch "Big Bird in China" (Yes i know it sounds silly but its true!), one of the best Western movies to have him in it as a main character!
