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 ordered the black/white pair 5.5 size. Initially, it felt loose/bigger and I was debating to return it but I kept it because it looked nice. Once it was broken in, it feels comfortable and doesn't feel too loose. It's supple and easy to walk. The mesh also keeps my toes cool (I noticed it when it was cold outside).

The Onitsuka Tiger fencing shoe has been around more than 40 years: I remember friends of mine using them when I was fencing in the early '70s. I figured that meant they had been user tested for fencing, and if they had stuck around that long, they must be reasonably good. They are. I bought two pairs: at this price, I could buy 3 pairs for the price of the Nike fencing shoe.

We were so happy to find actual fencing shoes on Zappos! My son loves these - says they are great for fencing and very comfortable. We bought another pair for when he outgrows these. Thanks, Zappos!

I'm a former fencer, and I remember how comfortable my old fencing shoes used to be. I recently started suffering from shin splints, and I remembered that fencing shoes are designed to minimize that. So I got a pair and voila, no more shin splints. I wear these every day and I love them.

I love these shoes and want them now in other colors. They do have a slight arch built inside so if you are flat-footed this may take some getting used to. I ordered half a size up and they fit great.
