Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

Good shoe! More protection and comfort than my last pair of Tigers but I just pictured something different styling-wise. I wear them often and love them anyway.

The black trim on this shoe is actually shiny patent-leather - I was really surprised when I took these out of the box! I got the "white/jet black" option, and from the picture the black part that is used for the Asics stripes looked matte to me. However, it is a very shiny, patent-leather type fabric. If that is what you're looking for, it's a nice looking shoe. I just had something else in mind so I’m going to exchange them for a different color combo.

Great for what it is - A great looking comfortable shoe for hanging out and certain activities. get many compliments on the look and they are very comfortable. Have weight lifted in this shoe but would not recommend it for much else sports or exercise-wise

Great shoe, but a half size too small - Love the 80's style. Ordered the white and shadow and they felt a half size too small. Exchanged them for the next size up in the Grey/KW-Storm color. The shoe is super light and comfy. Zappos was very helpful with the exchange and had the new shoes mailed that day.

Super Cute, stylish shoe! This shoe is awesome. I've been looking for a stylish shoe that is comfy and not clunky. These shoes are it!! I have gotten so many complements on them, everyone loves them. I got the white/blue/green shoes. They are definitely a half size larger. I wear an 8 but the 7.5 fits me perfectly! They are perfect for walking around town but NOT for long days on your feet. Get some today if you want to get lots of compliments.

Nice shoe - Quick Review: They're relatively comfortable, the price is right and I've received compliments every time I've worn them.

The colors definitely aren't as bright after awhile...but they are nice and rather comfortable. The shoe fits like a glove

I highly recommend this shoe - This shoe has everything you look for, comfort & appearance. I would recommend this shoe to others. It's also nice the shoe has a variety of colors.

Great shoe. Love the style/colors. I was looking for a lightweight, flexible shoe for walking to class, gym, etc. These shoes were exactly what I was looking for. Very breathable. My only complaint would be that they don’t have much cushioning underneath.

If you like getting compliments from strangers... You'd probably like these shoes. I like everything about them except I wish there were a bit more arch support.

Nice sporty sleek shoes - Okay I have these in the goldenrod on black color combination and in Mens size 11.5. These shoes immediately felt excellent to wear right out of the box. They fit true to size, I am an 11.5 and they fit just about perfect. I've had them now for 2 years and have used them extensively outdoors in the garage working on cars got oil coolant and mud on em too, and they still haven't worn out! What I would suggest for cleaning them is a cloth and water and Armor All for keeping them shiny, works wonders! The only wear they have on them now is the very front where the leather meets the rubber is folding a bit but still in shape! And hey not even the ankle leather is wearing out at all!

Good looking but not very durable - I have the khaki and orange pair and they look great, nice profile and are perfect with jeans. There is a problem with the shoes though, the actual shoe is very thin, the mesh material feels like it will tear easily and I wouldn't be surprised if the shoes fell apart fast. They could also be a bit more comfortable, but they're fine.

Cool Shoes - I really like the bright colors of these shoes. They are really lightweight. They also came with a different color shoe lace, which is very nice, since you can't find good spares except in white. They make heads turn that's for sure!

Solid Shoe - This is my second pair of this shoe and I really like them. They are very comfortable and I really like the look. I have the khaki, orange, and blue ones and they look just like they do on the site. I would say this is more of a spring/summer shoe b/c it is so light it not good in very wet slushy winter Chicago winter.

Misleading Picture - Be careful with the Black/Onyx/Silver- sometimes the lighting in the pictures seems to distort the color of the shoe. The 'Onyx' is actually shiny (almost silvery) but it appears to be a dull opaque in the picture. Other than that the shoe seems good- it's made of good, comfortable material.

Could be better - The shoes look very nice but they material a little too thin. For the price, I'd expect thicker stitching and expect my foot supported better. The shoes not uncomfortable, but neither do I experience superb satisfaction when wearing them. Though they look good.

Onitsuka Tiger - Service was right on. I will definitely buy from Zappos again. However, the shoe did look exactly like what I expected. It looked more grey online, but its actually metallic silver. Not really my style, but in works with dark jeans.

Too big - This shoe was so cool when I bought it cause had it was lightweight and very comfy. I had some problems I wear a size 12.5 or 13 I ordered a 13 and they were huge so I returned them for a 12. Also they were to light and they would not be good for the winter time. So I ordered the ultimate 81 LE because it was leather. They were shipped on time.

Worth it - The shoes are very lightweight and comfortable. The heels were higher than I was used to so I had blisters the first time I wore them, but they are extremely good quality shoes for not having leather in them. Will definitely buy more in the future.

Nice retro look - I like these for a look that's almost as comfortable as my regular running shoes, but much nicer looking. Great for long walks. I wouldn't go for runs in them. I love the green color.

Stylish - Comfortable like a slipper, but looks cools with cargo pants or jeans (not meant for sports).

Ultimate? Maybe. Very nice. The fact that they look so good and use no leather is a good combo for me. Asics and Zappos keep a brother looking fly.

asics review - Everything about the order was great. Including price, shipping, and product itself. Thank you for an easy hastle free buying experience. The thank you card was also a nice touch.

Pimpin' Very cool shoe. I've gotten all short of compliments on them in the two weeks I’ve owned them. They are a little more narrow than I expected, almost have a Euro or bicycle shoe look (like Diesels).

Small fit - Overall this shoe has been great: light, easy/fun to bike and walk in. I thought the front box of the shoe was really small. Definitely order a half size up from what you're used to.
