Awesome - Very lightweight and soft on the feet. This style is very similar to the limber up Moscow style that was made a while back. Overall great look and feel. And of course ridiculously fast shipping from Zappos.

Cool kicks! Love these shoes, I have pretty wide feet & though these appear to be a narrow shoe, the mesh construction stretches with my feet. Not really what I would recommend for extremely long wear, but quite comfortable for bumming around town. I wish there were more colors to choose from, I'd buy 'em all. Overall, a great everyday shoe with awesome retro style & and always, shipping so fast your head will spin.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these shoes! These are the coolest pair of gym shoes I think I've ever owned! Love the look with jeans, sweats, etc. Everyone loves these. Because they're a bit flat they're not as comfy as some more cushiony gym shoes but these are great unless I'm doing an intense cardio workout. Oh, and Zappos rocks! I tell people to shop here all the 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.

Comfy - Bought the yellow/blue and the colors are great. Ultra-comfy shoes, may affect durability in the long run but I've only had them a few weeks.

Overall nice stylish shoe - These are a good pair of shoes. They are bleach white so they are harder than most shoes to match to an outfit, but when they do match they are very stylish. Don’t expect very much stability upon landing from a high hop off the ground, though. Good buy.

California 78 - These shoes felt perfect right out of the box. They have a great classic look and are very light which should make them ideal for summer wear. They also seem to be very well made. If you’re looking to separate yourself from everyone else these shoes in yellow and blue will do the trick.
Brands I'd also recommend: Saucony Jazz Originals, Vans Classics, Keds Champions

Love these shoes! These are pretty much the cutest sneakers I've ever owned! I got about five compliments on them the first evening I wore them. I wait tables and by the end of the night my feet started to ache a bit, but they'd be perfect for bumming around. The Zappos customer service is fantastic; I called to ask some questions and they were very helpful and friendly. And of course the shipping is the fastest thing I've seen. I ordered them in the evening and received them the next afternoon.

Fabulous shoes!!!!!! Fit exactly to size; look adorable yet trendy (t-strap is very stylish!) So functional!!!! Feels exactly like my sneakers, but looks like a really cute shoe. Sizing and width is 100%! Go out and buy 2 or 3 pair (I probably will!)- And the best part- it was delivered the very next day after ordering! Wow- Zappos!

I love these shoes so much I bought them in both colors! I had been looking a long time for a replacement to my favorite pair of Limber Up Moscows, and here they are. They are great looking, lightweight shoes, with pretty good arch support. They look great with jeans, shorts, or khakis. The material of the blue pair is a bit more breathable and comfortable. They are perfect for warm climates like South Florida.

These are my new favorite sneakers. I wore them right out of the box to an event - with walking all day. They look sleek and modern yet have a cool retro feel at the same time. I have the blue color. The color looks good with all my jeans and yoga pants. They are also really light weight.

Classic! All you would expect from Onitsuka Tiger, a great brand with fantastic footwear. Why else would Kid from Kill Bill wear a pear of Mexico 66's? These are more running based shoes, which were introduced later in 78, hence the name Cali '78. They have good arch support, unlike the 66's and are better for running and sports. Don't get me wrong, I love the 66's also, I own 3 pairs, but I picked up a pair of these when I realized they weren't giving me enough support on my jogs. Great shoe, great look and a must-have.
Brands I'd also recommend: Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66, Adidas Originals Samba

I bought these shoes for cycling around town. They are slim enough to easily slide in and out of cages. Also, the sole is sturdy which is another plus for cycling. A+. I love them so far!

Great comfortable shoes in a vibrant blue. Had these fit properly. I would be wearing them everywhere, but I accidently threw away my packaging. My fault. These feel more narrow than all my other Asics of the same size. It would also have been nice to have a set of the blue laces to match the shoe color instead of only white. Another wonderful shoe by Asics.

These sneakers fit me exactly (6 1/2). My feet are fairly wide, and I was concerned these could be too narrow, but they turned out not to be. I've received compliments on them and they are really cute for summer. They probably wouldn't bare up to any rough terrain or long hikes as they are very lightly constructed.

I was very impressed with these shoes, they are exactly how they look and I love the nylon. They are very comfortable and true to size. I also like the old school vintage look. I highly recommend these shoes to anyone who is even considering them.

They look pretty cool, great with shorts. If you are looking for the most comfortable shoe in the world, these probably aren’t it. They don’t offer much support, but you will get a lot of compliments.

These shoes are very stylish and light. They fit very small though, as well as narrow. I have narrow feet, but these are narrow even for me. Fast shipping as usual from Zappos.
