Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

Pretty cool - I got the green vegan ones...and they're pretty low profile and great with a pair of fitted jeans. Recommended!

Great for break dancing!!!! Heck yeah, I love these; I have them in three different color ways. The only problem I have had is they take A LOT to break them in. My doggies were begging me to take these off for the first week, but after some intense b boyin, they are PERFECT. I always get Onitsukas for b boying, and these deliver. The only other problem is some people may find the sole lacking in support, hence the four in comfort, but they are lightweight and breathe breathe breathe! Great shoes baby

Nice Shoes - I am really happy with these shoes. Great fit and finish, and no animal pieces. These are the best looking Vegan shoes I have ever found. Strongly recommend. For me the ran just a little small, ~1/4 of a size, but I like tight shoes.

Comfort - I tried to actually order the Asics "Mexico 66" in white with green stripes and some red and yellow in it. However, Zappos didn't have it available. I was a bit disappointed, but after receiving these in just 1 day (no extra tax or overnight shipping charges!), I wore them, and loved them. I don't know how brown and a little yellow with go with lots of my clothes, but I don't really care too much about matching everyday. I think I'll still go for the other pair when they email me that they're in stock. These definitely feel really comfy and the heel is comfy too. My feet are really wide, and I haven't had a problem with them squishing up or anything. Zappos is great and I would recommend them to anyone!

Only for looks - Although I have owned more than one pair of these, it took the second pair for me to find out that they wear your feet and back out. They have a hard sole and flat bottom that can become uncomfortable after a full days use.

Shoes have improved since the 70's - I bought the Tigers because I was sentimental about the pair I wore in high school in the 70's. I made the purchase mostly for the look, but also thought I'd try to run in them. They look great and feel okay for casual wear, but for running they're not great, no arch support or cushion. Okay for a stepper or elliptical machine though. You realize how much running shoes have advanced in the past 30 years when you compare these retro speedsters to a modern shoe...

Cute Shoe - I ordered the sunset orange color. These shoes are really cute, and get a lot of attention. They are comfortable.

Cute Blue Shoes - I have feet that are on the large side for a woman (12) so I am always looking for shoes that have some color and some style. The color of these just jumped out at me!! They are true to the picture and the description. Comfort wise they're great, too. I would prefer a little more arch support, but they do have a decent one. And they do look "longish". Unlike the "snubnose" type of shoe, these have a nose!! Overall, I LOVE THEM!!!

Comfy and cute - I get compliments on these all the time! They're so cool looking and comfortable for walking in the city. If I could, I would wear them everywhere!

Great Value - Relatively inexpensive, very light and comfortable.

Very happy with my purchase - This is a great shoe - and I got it at a great price! Very comfortable and very light.

Fun, but brighter than I expected - Really, lightweight, fun shoe! I would buy others of this style - definitely.

Nice shoe that draws lots of attention - I bought a pair of Limber Up Moscow's about 25 years ago and had them for about 15 years. I think they were the best pair of shoes I've ever tried on. These Ultimate 81's are very comfortable and lightweight but they just don't have the arch support that the Moscow's had. I've read that they are not making the Moscow's anymore, so if you can find a pair in your size, buy them right away. I'll probably buy another pair of U 81's when these wear out.

Somewhat satisfied - The style of the shoe is rad, but the construction of the shoe is below par. There are some areas of the shoe where you can see the glue that was used to attach some of the suede. Towards the heel, this is very noticeable.

Great shoe! These shoes are very durable and are really easy to clean. They're comfortable, super light and not to mention the fact that they have great airflow! So even after 5 months of use, mine don't smell AT ALL. The great thing about these shoes is that guys or gals can wear them without looking too masculine or feminine.

Great Looking Shoe- I really love this shoe. Perfect shoe for doing anything casual. I like them so much I ordered a second pair. They look good, are comfortable, are super light, and breathe a lot.

Asics Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate '81 - This is a very stylish sneaker that goes very well with casual dress. I would not recommend these to use for the gym or for running, but they go very well with jeans, cords, or khakis for a night out.

Asics - This shoes are very comfortable and nice to wear.I hope more people get to buy them and like them as I do.

Great look - The shoe looks amazing, and even makes my feet look smaller, but there is almost no support. If you are the type of person that needs an arch, you'll have to buy an insert. Otherwise, they are a great casual shoe.

Pretty sweet shoes - These shoes feel a little tight, but the material is very flexible and not uncomfortable. The biggest problem I had was with the soles. If you have ever worn track spikes, you know what the soles of these shoes are like - they just barely cover the ball and outside edge of your foot. That works for track, but can trip a person up when worn for a whole day.

These shoes are mesmerizing...I could stare at them all day. The down side is that they truly feel like a 1970's tennis shoe. The sole is a firm yet not very supportive foam. They're not uncomfortable, just not comfy. Their look makes up for any shortcomings.

I just received the bordeaux/white asics 81. I was hoping the color would be more burgundy, but it is more of a wine/cranberry color. The suede part looks more burnt orange. But I like them anyway so I'm going to keep them. I wear a size 8 in womens and a size 6 in mens, but their sizes run a bit different. Their 6 in mens is a 7.5 in womens, but it still fits perfect. Overall i think the shoe is cool and im about to order the red/gold pair.

One of the best things about this shoe is that not many people have them. My shoes felt a size larger at least and the yellow color was a few shades darker than shown. The shoes are very light weight and are pretty comfortable. The only setback on mine was that since they were a size or so larger, the arch was a little too far forward on my foot. If you're looking for a retro looking shoe that's comfortable and light weight, this would be a good choice--just order a little smaller.

One of the reasons I've always loved Onitsuka Tiger brand was the comfort of the shoes. This pair is anything but comfortable. It is also rather narrow and unexpectedly so. Returning.
