The history of Onitsuka Tiger™ shoes began with the establishment of Onitsuka Co. Ltd. in 1949. Based on the philosophy of bringing up sound youth through sports, the company has maintained the tradition of specializing in the manufacturing of sports shoes and clothing using original ideas and applying epoch-making techniques.
As the Japanese people recovered from the second world war and began to appreciate the benefits of sports, Onitsuka Tiger™ shoes were on their feet. The first basketball shoes in Japan had a tiger face design on the arch of the foot and this became Onitsuka's trademark. In the 1960's, Onitsuka Tiger™ shoes were worn not only by the Japanese, but also by top foreign athletes.
In 2001, ASICS America Corporation quietly resurrected the Onitsuka Tiger™ brand with original models of Onitsuka shoes and Onitsuka clothing updated in today's flavorful colors. Over the past few years, the Onitsuka Tiger™ brand has been enjoying a growing number of new, dedicated shoe followers along with a steady desire for Onitsuka clothing and Onitsuka bags, realized today on Zappos.com. Through sometimes secretive grassroots marketing efforts, ASICS® has been able to spread this word about this authentic comeback for Onitsuka Tiger™.
Now that the secret is out... Onitsuka Tiger™ is a growing and highly sought after brand with its ever-growing lineup of Onitsuka Tiger™ shoes, Onitsuka Tiger™ clothing and Onitsuka Tiger™ bags. There are more Onitsuka Tiger™ mens’s and Onitsuka Tiger™ women’s models just sitting in the ASICS® vault waiting to be re-released. The future is what this retro brand has to look forward to. Because ASICS® knows that there are people out there who don't need to run fast...they just want to look good.

These shoes are very comfortable. I ordered them because I needed some good walking shoes for my Las Vegas trip. I was able to walk all day in them without any discomfort. The section of the shoe on top of the toes is made of mesh, so my toes stayed nice and cool. I might want to reconsider wearing them in winter because I got a good draft of air coming through. These shoes are a must! Plus they look awesome on.

These shoes are awesome! I was a bit hesitant to buy them because I could not tell from the pictures if the soles were thin enough. I like shoes that have little to no support in them, and these are pretty close. I wished there was a way to reduce the insert of the shoe just a little bit more. Overall, though, these are great shoes and super comfortable! I highly recommend.

Overall Rating:
The Rotation 77 are an extremely reliable shoe. Putting in over 10,000 steps a day, these shoes are still holding strong with little to no show of wear or tear. I'm a huge fan of the Mexico 66 style and thought these would be similar. In a way they are in the look, but feel a lot different. The rotation doesn't fit as close to the foot like a sock like the Mexico 66, and it took about a week to wear in the Rotations before my heel stopped from being sore. I have never been disappointed in Asics, I've purchased 2 pairs of Mexico 66s and this is my first Rotation and couldn't be happier. I will stick with the 66s, but this shoe still deserves 5 stars all around. And not to even mention that Zappos ships shoes faster than I can even imagine. I think I had my shoes before my confirmation email was received.

I bought these shoes as part of my Black Mamba/Kill Bill Halloween outfit. I normally wear a 9N in Asics running shoes, so I had to order an 8 1/2M. The slightly smaller length allows me to wear the medium width (wouldn\'t work if I was actually to do anything athletic in them), but as a result the back of the shoe rubs my Achilles a bit; as long as I wear socks I\'m fine. They were perfect for the costume, and fly enough to wear after Halloween.

Love it! I got one in Gray/Brilliant Blue and I love it! I receive so many compliments when I wear those. When I have a meeting, I change to grey lacing and wear with sport-style suit, it makes the outfit so stylish! I am usually 7-7.5 and 7 fits perfectly.

I'm a big fan of Onitsukas. About half of my shoes are Onitsukas, just different colors and styles. They look great, feel very comfortable, even right out of the boxes. I have very wide feet (EE are slightly narrow or perfect fit for me), and these fit if I tie the laces loosely. (Though the looks are tiny bit weird, relatively. Still looks great!) If you are looking for comfort and looks, these shoes are the way to go.

I\'ve had this pair of Tiger shoes for about 2 months now and they\'ve been great! They are comfortable for walking and suit random athletic feats like waking up late and sprinting to class. My only complaint about feel is that I\'m not so used to tight fitting shoes, but they feel fine anyways. As for style they\'re pretty hip. I\'ve got black leather pair, but one guy from my classes sports the blue/orange very well.

Had a little trouble when going through the online ordering, so I called in and the rep setup an account and put my order through within 10 minutes; received the shoes next day, on free shipping! Wow! As for the shoes, I would say no doubt they're a half size (if not a little bit more) too big. I ordered the black/snakeskin color, they look awesome! Nobody else has them either, so many compliments on that, too! Will be buying more soon; great shoe, amazing service!

Great shoes! They are really comfortable, I bought them for work and they are great to wear all day. I love all the colors they offer but could only buy the the black ones. I had to order one size down from my usual 8 1/2.

I got these for my boyfriend in Insignia/Limelight. They're really stunning shoes and they fit him perfectly! The only thing that bothered me was the yellow tab at the heel is not down like the picture looks, but instead stood up like a flap. Otherwise, he really likes them!

When shopping Zappos, I often have to try a few sizes to get one that fits right. My official size is a 12 and the size 12 Tigers fit perfectly. My only complaint is that they bite a little at the top of the heel. However, this is mitigated more than in most shoes with this problem by a soft and slippery leather installed there. I'm very satisfied.

I have looked at this shoe a number of time but just recently decided to purchase them. I got it in blue with orange logo and laces. The pair also comes with a pair of blue laces if someone wants to change a look. For about a week I had orange laces in but then switched to blue and I like the look of it with blue more then with orange. The shoe fits true to Asics true size which is about 0.5 a size over your regular size. The shoe is also very comfortable for all day wear.

Nice, light, breathable trainers. I bought the silver and gold snakeskin-patterned ones and liked the look very well except for the laces, which were a different color from the silver on the shoe and had little silver flecks that made them look cheap. I swapped for some plain black laces and they look excellent. Like almost all the athletic shoes I have owned, they press on the tops of my feet if laced tightly and make my toes numb.

Overall Rating:
Utterly comfortable. Relatively easy to clean. Lightweight and well-made, these shoes are worth what they cost. I get a lot of comments about how cool they look. My only advice for prospect buyers, don\'t wear them when it is raining or muddy: the midsoles of the shoes are white, and will easily stain. Which makes your brand new shoes look otherwise.

This is just a quick note to say thank you for outstanding customer service and shipment
time. Every time I place an order with Zappos, I receive my goods 2 days later. I don't know
how you do it, but you are doing something right. I don't mind paying more for my shoes on Zappos, because I know I can trust your quality. I've already received my order and I'm very pleased. Thanks and keep up the great work. I am telling all my friends about your wonderful website!
