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.

I have been a tiger wearer for nine years and I have never been disappointed with a pair yet. They are comfortable, breathable, and never make my feet hurt and I'm on them twelve hours a day. I highly recommend these shoes.

These shoes were everything I thought they were going to be and I will definitely order more in the future! Just two things to note before you buy: 1) The back of the shoe does go up rather high, so don't wear low cut socks if you want to prevent irritation and 2) the shoes actually appear to be black unless they are in clear light.

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 originally bought these simply because I liked how they looked. To my surprise, they quickly became my favorite pair of shoes because of their incredible comfort as well. The arch support is especially comfortable.

I bought these shoes for my husband to wear to N.O. Saints games. He loves these shoes. Light and comfortable. He has quite thin feet and they fit well. Loved the selection of colour combos.

Stylin' comfortable, high-quality shoes, decent arch support for a rather minimal shoe.

I found the shoes to be as comfortable as advertised. I bought them to run in and the traction is great. They also look very clean and stylish as far as running shoes go, so I felt guilty actually running in them. I would definitely consider buying them in different colors in the future. I bought the black/coal version and find that unless you are in direct light they just look black. Other than that I have no complaints. These are great shoes that fit well.

Excellent style, fit, and value. Normally wear size 12, ordered a 12 and fits true to size. Shoe is comfortable and provides enough support for normal wear and use. I wouldn't recommend using these as running shoes as newer styles offer greater support and cushioning - but these shoes are above all others in terms of retro styling and looks. Definitely will purchase another pair when the time comes.

Love these shoes. They are so cute. They are neutral, but not too masculine. I am wearing them now. So comfy and they breathe!

Ordered these shoes because they looked light and breathable (and are). The only problem is if it is rainy and you don't watch your step the shoes also are capable of breathing water. Other than that, good quality. Nice fit, good support.
