Don't ask us why its name is Uncle Martian, but these photographs will give you a big hint:

According to Shoes.net.cn, the company behind Uncle Martian is Fujian-based 廷飞龙体育用品 (Ting Fei Long Ti Yü Yong Pin). The company's General Manager Huang Can Long said Uncle Martian's products are comfortable, exceptional and innovative.
