Jade shoes, named after instagrammer-actress-dancer Jade Chynoweth, are among our favorite dance sneakers.
Available in green and blue (new Blue Jade 2025), they’re unlike any other, from their manufacture to their final rendering.
We have written a complete article on all Fuego shoes, in order to give you our opinion and teach you more.

Design and aesthetics:
The color palette chosen by the brand is vibrant!
The different shades of jade and emerald green are perfectly coordinated, making them a quick eye-catcher (having worn them often, we can confirm that everyone loves them).
Unlike others in the Low-Top shoe range, these are not made from vegan leather, but from textured and structured eco-responsible fabric.
All the elements of the shoe are composed of embossed patterns, contributing to the pair’s dynamic yet contemporary look, reflecting movement and energy.
The sole is not totally white, but slightly off-white, as are the laces. These two white elements balance the vibrant shades of green, bringing a touch of simplicity and modernity. A beautiful balance!
Comfort and ergonomics:
The sole is very pleasant and sufficiently cushioned while offering stability to your foot.
This is a very comfortable pair of dance shoes, ideal for long dance sessions and intensive rehearsals. In comparison, you could say they’re just a little bit wider than the white and black leather low-tops.
They’re quite light and, as always with Fuego, offer a subtle blend of grip and slippery « effect », so you can feel at ease both in your stance AND in your slides and spins.
Technical features for dancing:
Like all Fuego dance shoes, they feature integrated pivot points under the sole. Two of them make turning much easier, for smoother turns with less friction. Your knee joints will thank you!
The balance of grip and glide is balanced by a relatively smooth outsole design.
Designed to give you great freedom of movement, they ultimately reduce fatigue, even after hours of dancing. Really useful!
Unique and distinctive details:
The Jade stone hanging as a pendant (charm) from an eyelet on the shoe is very cool and makes the link between Jade, nature, the cameo of greens (3 different greens) and ecology.
This “charm” adds a sophisticated and distinctive touch, reinforcing the premium identity of this pair of dance shoes. You’re free to keep it on your shoe or not.
The Fuego logo flame is discreetly sewn onto the back of the shoe, along with the word Jade. The Fuego logo is engraved on the underside of the outsole and marked on the back of the outsole, as well as on the tongue.
Last but not least, it takes 5 recycled plastic bottles to make one pair of Fuego Jade.
Versatility and use:
These shoes can be used for all dance styles:
- Cuban salsa, Puerto Rican (in line), caleña (Colombian)
- Contemporary
- Hip-hop
- Etc.
Their design makes them easy to adapt to all disciplines.
Their style is casual-chic, original and unique, and can be worn with casual or dressy outfits.
You can wear them off the dance floor for a trendy look, as the brand emphasizes. Personally, we like to use our dance shoes only for dancing, so that we can keep them for as long as possible.

Released in January 2025, these are the latest in the Low-Top line of dance shoes, and more specifically in the collaboration with dancer Jade.

Design and aesthetics:
The palette of blues is soothing, soft, a true evocation or homage to the sea (nature again, we love it!), to the ocean.
There’s a white (with a bit of blue inside), a light blue, a medium blue and a navy blue. The color harmony is elegant.
This combination of blues makes the pair of dancing shoes elegant, a little more sober, yet still sophisticated thanks to several very interesting elements. The patchwork structure is the same as the green version, and it works perfectly.
As on the green version, we find the embossed texture, for an artisanal look, since we remind you that this is a shoe made from recycled materials.
The laces are different on this Blue Jade, as they are thicker, marine-style laces (still in the nature-ocean spirit). This adds a unique, bold touch to the sneaker. Please note that a second pair of traditional laces are included in the box.
A final touch of originality is the Celestite stone hanging from one of the sneaker’s eyelets. Pale blue in color, it goes perfectly with the cameo of blues. You can choose to keep it on or remove it, as you wish.
Comfort and ergonomics:
The outsole and insole are the same as the green Fuego Jade, so they still offer good comfort, with just the right amount of softness and firmness for stability.
The sneaker is still lightweight and very comfortable to wear.
Technical features for dancing:
This pair of dance shoes is no exception to the Fuego signature, offering the famous two pivot points, located at the heel and under the metatarsals. These points enable easier rotations, changes of direction and turns with less effort(very good for your joints…).
The rubber outsole is only slightly sunken, allowing you to glide more easily and grip the ground perfectly, a good compromise or balance.
You can dance all types of dance with these shoes, such as :
- Bachata
- Salsa
- Contemporary dance
- Latin dance
- Jazz
- Urban dance
- Etc.
The logo is engraved under and behind the sole and sewn on the back of the shoe (with Jade for the collaboration) and on the tongue
