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.

Bought this shoes for my son. This is the only brand he will wear. We purchase him a new pair every year for his birthday. They last him all year....he wears them every day. His birthday is about the only time we can get him to travel home to visit...we think it is the shoes.

These look really awesome. However, I found out after a few times of wearing them the left shoe is crushing the back of my ankle. They fit fine, it is just the angle that the back of the shoe has is putting pressure on my tendon making it painful to walk/run or wear for days, so I stopped wearing them. Since I ran outside in the mud I figured Zappos wouldn't take them back.

I'm very happy with these shoes. They are my first pair of Asics. They're very light, good arch support, and very comfortable. They're also stylish and sharp: I wear them with jeans, but also like to mix it up and wear them with a button down and some nice pants. I hope they last longer than some of the sneakers I've bought in the $40-$60 range, since these were kind of a splurge for me.
I'd also recommend: Saucony

I buy a pair every year even though I can still wear the old ones. My favorite sneaker ever. Very comfortable. Very durable. They are worth every penny.

Love the look of these, snappy and vintage! But, they felt a half size big--my foot felt like it was floating--so I'm trying a half size down. Note that I am a woman, so often man's shoes are wider, these don't feel too wide--just too big over all and I hope the half size down will work in this style.

Overall, I like this shoe. Style-wise I like the design since I'm a fan of retro running shoes. It's a minimalist design so don't expect major cushioning but enough so that your feet aren't aching at the end if the day. There isn't a lot of arch support so if you have flat feet or need support, you may not like these shoes and an insole can easily fix that.

I have owned several pairs of these shoes and absolutely love them. Classic style, well made, and very versatile. I've received compliments almost every time I wear them and the quality holds up. Zappos as usual has great service and I would highly recommend!
