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.

Nice quality, good style, and a reasonable price. I\'m very happy with the shoe. However a word of warning, the insole is completely unsupported, and you can\'t remove it to insert another, so if you plan to add an insole, make sure you get a somewhat larger size, or it will be a tight fit.

These shoes are great. They look cool and are pretty comfortable to walk around a lot in. There is great arch support as well. They took a little breaking in for me, though; the backs were uncomfortably rubbing against my heels. The only complaint I have is that it's a little tight in the toe area; my left big toe always gets squeezed.

Dual purpose shoe, works great for work and dressing up. Fairly comfortable, plenty of room in the toe box, felt true to size. I needed inserts for my high arches; that may or may not be an issue for you. Upon first wear the toe area was a bit stiff, but since then it has broken in nicely. Overall, great shoe from a great brand.

Love the feel and fit of the shoe. They are aren't as narrow as depicted in the pictures. They look sharp! Ordered the white/lava combination and they look as pictured on the site. I normally wear a 10.5 and ordered 10.5, the shoes are true to size. Customer service was fantastic. Initially I ordered the Puma Speeder M; didn't like the feel and wanted to exchange them for the Mexico 66s. They were incredibly professional and helpful. This was my first purchase with Zappos and this will definitely not be my last!

These are the coolest kicks in the cave. I got the black/stone grey version, and they're super comfy, easy to break in, and pretty much go with everything I wear. And Zappos had them here in a couple days. I wonder how they do it since I didn't have to pay for shipping and handling. Great shoe, great service, I'll definitely buy again.

I absolutely love these shoes! I now have two pairs and they are totally worth it. Very comfortable, fit well, and great for working out in. I love the shiny silver shoes when I work out, it makes it way more fun. I would absolutely recommend these shoes to anyone who wants a fun, comfortable workout shoe or just some great shoes for walking around!

I got the grey/purple ones. It is a little narrow so it fits a little snug, but at the same time they are super comfy! If you have wide feet you may have a problem, but if not, enjoy! These are my all time favorite shoes! I love them! Amazing!

This is my third different pair of this shoe and they have never disappointed. I purchased the White/Mixed Black and quickly received them from Zappos. The shoes feel great and can be worn with almost anything! I will definitely buy from Zappos again!

I purchased the "Leaf Green/White" Ultimate 81 by Onitsuka Tiger about a month ago. The shoes are great, comfortable, good looking too, but just FYI the photo on Zappos of the "Leaf Green/White" looks grey. I wanted a grey pair of shoes, but am surprised how much I like the "Leaf Green/White" color. Depending on the lighting the shoes look grey or green.

Great shoe! Very comfortable. I was able to break them in after a week and a half or so. You can tie the laces in a permanent spot and use them like slip-ons or you can tie them up tight. I have gotten several compliments on my shoes, either that they were nice and retro looking, or very sleek and nice. I highly recommend these shoes!

Great pair of shoes, the best I've owned. Being a girl and buying a unisex pair of shoes I was concerned about the width and overall fit (since men sizes are usually larger). I have a long and very narrow foot so finding a slim pair of shoes was ideal. Best fit, super lightweight. Only negative comment I have is yeah, there's no arch support and overall not the best shoe if your wearing them to work and standing for 9-12 hours straight. Love the style, goes great with everything (I have the black pair with stripes). Definitely love Asics, always have and always will order them.

First off, let me say Zappos customer service is great! If I could rate that, I'd give them six stars. Also, I love the design of these shoes. I wanted minimalist shoes for everyday use: very light, thin soled, and flexible. These fit the bill. They are also very comfortable. The soles may be thin, but they have just enough cushion. To me, the shoes feel great. I think the design looks good, too. However, I am only giving these shoes 3 stars because the toes wrinkle. Between sizing issues and delivery errors. I ended up going through three pairs. And all wrinkled in the toe area (some worse than others). The left shoes wrinkle a little by the left toe. The right shoe has two large creases over the middle toe. I believe this to be a defect. Don't know if they all have the problem or just some "batches". I kept a pair hoping they'd get better with wear. The wrinkling gets worse. Unfortunately, I can just wear them as gym shoes now.

These are my second pair of Onitsuka Tiger Saiko Runners. My first pair were great, going through everything you could imagine. They are extremely comfortable once they are broken in. I wrestle and I like the look because they look similar to wrestling shoes. The mid-top look looks sweet. I couldn't resist so ordered a second pair. The back was peeling a little so I contacted Zappos. They're sending me a new pair right away free of charge and free one day shipping. Does it get any better than that? Yeah it does; I am also sending the old pair back free of charge. Wow! Zappos has my business from here on out. Best service out there.
