If it's possible to have a near perfect shoe, this is it! Clean, simple, fresh and classic all at the same time. Great looks, and comfortable too. I will order a second pair so I have a backup when pair #1 wears out. As usual, great job by Zappos; I had these by the next business day.

I'm a fan of the Mexico 66 style of tigers and I got these because they look similar but have more of a sneaker feel. This shoe isn't as sleek/slim as the Mexico but looks great anyway. The deep blue suede and clean lines make for the perfect spring and summer shoe.

Nice smooth style with a clasiic old school toe box. Looks great with skinnier gear. Keeping the white white is always a challenge...but the red just sets it off!

Recently bought the Fabres and have received more compliments than I usually do regarding footwear. The Fabre reminds me of Chuck Taylors: old school court shoe, minimal arch support with little material separating your feet from the ground. Comfortable but probably not a shoe you want to wear if you're on your feet all day. Seem to run a little bigger than the same size from other manufacturers. Nice shoe, great for casual wear and I would consider buying again but for what it's worth, when compared to similar shoes and had only one to pick, I would go with the Adidas Campus every time.

About Onitsuka Tiger by Asics
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.

I bought a black pair of these just over a month ago for summer, and I love 'em. They're a comfortable fit and go well with shorts, jeans and semi-casual work pants so they're very versatile. Though above all Zappos exceeded my expectations by delivering them in just over one day - I ordered them on a Sunday night and had them on my feet on Tuesday with no additional charge (no shipping cost period). Sweet shoes, sweet service.

I bought these shoes as something fun to wear to work. I picked green as it is the main color of the company I work for. With a insert bought at a drug store, these shoes are fun and comfortable. But shouldn't be wore any more then a few hours at a time.

Great looking and comfortable, but could do with some more arch support. Other than that, I am very happy with this shoe.

These are awesome shoes. They look great with jeans or shorts. They are very comfortable. I really liked the choice of white or grey shoe strings. I went with white. If you love Tigers, like I do, these are a great addition to your collection!

I've become a fan of Asics' Onitsuka Tiger line. This particular model is a very good product, well-made (despite being made in China) and stylish. I receive numerous compliments on these shoes! Like 1970s sneakers, there is little-to-no arch support. Note: I usually wear a size 12 in Asics, but needed a size 11 in this particular shoe.

I got these shoes in gray, and they came with extra laces in white. I put in the white laces and the look is awesome. This is a very comfortable shoe. It does have very little arch support like most shoes of this style do, so if that is a need, you should look elsewhere or get replacement insoles. The cushioning is also average. But they breathe well, already feel broken in, and look awesome. I highly recommend them.
Brands I'd also recommend: Puma, Asics, Nike

The pair I got was too big, so I don't have much to say. Like the look though.

I love these shoes. Color and material are great. The sole is a little flat, but some cheap inserts later and my tired feet are as happy as can be.

All the Asics Tigers I own are great, comfortable, light, no problems. And of course I think they look great, or I wouldn't have bought them. Also,they absolutely run big for the size.

I love this shoe. It's the only shoe that I really ever wear. It has held up really well to constant use and has broken in really nicely. I'm ordering another pair of Onitsukas to see how they'll compare. I was really satisfied by the fast shipping from Zappos. I get a lot of compliments on these shoes too.

Size down 1/2 size for the perfect fit. I normally wear a men's 9, but in these I'm an 8.5. Retro and surfer-chic, but these shoes will give you blisters the first 2 weeks unlike more expensive running shoes by Nike, Asics, or Adidas. After wearing them a month, they're broken in and very comfortable. Not sure I'd ever willingly endure the blisters again.

I am size 9 in converse. Size 9 of these did not fit me right. I think 9 1/2 will do the job or 10. Depending on width of your foot. These are awesome pairs, make sure you try your sizes at a local store first before ordering. :)

This shoe looks good but is made with poor quality material. The suede upper is thin and flimsy, the tongue is made of some sort of foam-like material that feels like it could easily tear. Too bad, it's a good looking shoe but you're better off going for a Puma Suede or Adidas Campus, etc.

This shoe looks fantastic, but is lacking in comfort. After a day of work, my feet are killing me in these. It is almost worth the sacrifice for the look though.
