I fell in love with the stylish stripes of these Tigers and ordered them with my fingers crossed. Well, they have turned out to be my favorite sports shoes. I still like just looking at them!

Very good looking urban sneaker. Comes with an extra pair of coordinating laces (cool!). They do come up pretty high in the back, so choose your sock carefully.

These are wonderful! I'm usually an Adidas originals fan but I haven't had much luck with them lately because the sizing has felt inconsistent. The Onitsuka Tiger felt like they were made for my feet. I especially like how the back part with the Tiger logo comes up higher and protects my thin skin on that area from blisters. I've never had a white sneaker but the white/black/red ones were just too cute to resist. I have a feeling these will be the 1st of many Tigers I buy. And as always, Zappos rocks!

These have become my favorite go-to sneakers they go wit work out clothes, jeans and t-shirt, and even make a dress outfit look more casual and comfy. I usually have to wear orthotic inserts for mainly arch support but the insole in the shoe seems to be enough and my feet don't feel tired at all after a full-day's work on my feet. Very comfortable and they look great. The tail is a bit long and rubs at first but it molds fine to my ankle/achilles tendon after a couple of wears.

I've bought roughly 5 pairs now. I love this shoe. They work great for walking, running, hiking or just being around town. The build quality is excellent. As is the styling and longevity of the shoes. Not the best if it's really wet out however (rain hiking/running). But I live in the PNW and I wear them out all the time!

These shoes are awesome! This is my second time purchasing Onitsuka Tiger by Asics and let me say that the shoes are durable,comfortable and stylish. I love these shoes and recommend them. They are true to size to my experience and I get a ton of compliments! Thank you for a wonderful product that is worth the money.

I tend to walk everywhere when I visit a city. I'm a big guy (6'3" / 235) and I've had trouble with my feet in the past if I didn't choose the right shoes for my trip. I bought these Asics hoping for a comfortable, light, low profile shoe with a bit of cushion and support. These shoes suited me well on my recent trip to DC. I had no problems or pain even walking 9-10 miles a day. I am really impressed with these shoes. Love the way they look, but I really love that they're so comfortable. Perfect.

Very comfortable. Stylish. Interesting that it is unisex. I bought this color and am female but will change to the yellow laces they included for fun.

I love these. A bit retro looking and low profile. They felt a bit hard at first but are wearing in nicely. They do have a bit of arch support, which is nice. They look great with yoga pants. I'm planning on getting them in more colors. I'm a 9 1/2 in running shoes but these fit great in a 9.

Got these shoes for my son to use for Parkour training! They are perfect for the flexibility and stability he needs when jumping to, from, off and on the Parkour equipment. I feel he is very safe when he is working out in these shoes!

I spend most of the day working on my feet working in a surgical clinic and have loved these shoes. The Tigers are light, have good arch support, look great, and have good grip on the sole.

Great shoe. True to size, well made and lightweight. Wow! Can Zappos get any faster? Ordered at 9pm. At the door by 11am next day! Amazing.

As of my writing this review, there have been 2,664 other customer reviews of this shoe, with an average of five stars. That should tell you something. These are fantastic shoes, in every way. They look great, they're incredibly comfortable, and have great arch support. Honestly the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned, and definitely my favorite pair. I've wanted the buy a pair for a long while now, and finally did a couple weeks ago. Will never regret that choice. These are great for casual dress, or running; I wear them everywhere (aside from work, where they wouldn't be allowed). I would recommend these shoes to absolutely anyone and everyone as long as you don t prefer being barefooted, these are the shoes to have.

This is my first pair of Tiger Onitsuka and I love it! It is very comfortable. I love the color combination. Size wise, I got my regular 7.5. I was going to get a size smaller because reviews said that they run big but the 7.5 perfectly fits me. They run narrow though but it doesn't bother me at all. As I've said, I love it and probably this will be the first of many. As always, Zappos is awesome! Great customer service experience as always! Fast delivery at no cost! Nothing beats that thus my repeat business with them!

These are my go to walking around and bike commuting shoes. Super comfy and a slim enough profile to fit into the toe cages on my bike. The black on black color is dope.

I have owned three pairs of Onitsuka Ultimate 81s over the past six years. I have a background in gymnastics and wrestling. I am 32 and have suffered from back pain. These sneakers are amazing. They are extremely light weight, very comfortable, stylish and priced well. I have done parkour in them and they offer wonderful stability. Once you have a pair, you will never go back to clunky Nikes. Also, if you are vegan conscious, most of the Ultimate 81s are cruelty free! Animals do not need to die for our clothing!

I think I've probably already written a review on these shoes, but wanted to write about how great they were after just working out in an older/beat-up pair. I actually have 3 pairs in different colors and they're great for casual and/or fitness related wear -- light, comfortable, and flexible. Just a tip though, these don't grip well in the rain/wet ground (great or parkour, but not when area is wet). Hope this review helps! For sizing I had to go half size up!

These shoes are very comfortable and stylish for casual use, but I would also recommend them for parkour. So far the grip has been good on brick and decent on smooth cinder block walls. Because I can walk around anywhere in public with them and suddenly break out into a parkour training session, I call them my "everything shoes."

This pair of shows is fantastic for anything involving movement over terrain. It can grip to almost any surface perfectly, not slipping and not catching in excess. Light and durable, I would recommend these shoes to anyone interested in physical activities such as parkour, running, hiking, and beyond.

These shoes are freaking awesome. The sole is pretty minimalist so if you like a soft cushion under your feet, these may not be for you.

Just put on the shoes and got an email to review! Love them! I always order Tiger's half size down, they seem to run a little big on my narrow feet, plus, sometimes they can make your foot look really big, just depends on the style.
