Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

These are so stylish! They look good with jeans or shorts or even dresses.

These are the best retro shoes! I've worn my few pairs of these all around the world. Can't go wrong.

Tigers were my go-to in High School (in the 80s) and when I saw this pair in grey they struck me as the coolest retro casual sneakers I've seen in a long time. Couldn't wait to order them and they didn't disappoint! They feel exactly the same as my 80s Tigers and the color works with everything. Love, love, love them. When my 15 yo daughter saw them, she wanted a pair, too!

Just bought my 2nd pair - nuff said.

Good shoes, was able to wear them right out of the box. Looks good and feels stylish!

Comfortable and look great with scrubs.

I love these shoes so much. I bought them 2 years ago and they’re still my favorite, so I’m about to order more in other colors. I had purchased a pair of Nike’s at the same time 2 years ago, and they are so uncomfortable compared to these sneakers.

My son LOVES these and the white stripes on black makes them look so sharp.He has other shoes that are this make and knows it's a no brainer to order, as the size is true and they last a long time!

I bought these in black about three weeks ago and have worn them almost daily. Extremely comfortable for wearing as comfortable walking shoes. These are not fitness shoes, however. I purchased these to wear instead of fitness shoes because I needed something a little more spiffy. A great looking shoe and at a great price.

I had a pair of these years ago and wanted to go back to them for a sneaker than is long-lasting, stylish, and good for walking. I like to wear Converse a lot, but they can hurt my feet if I'm walking a lot while traveling. The Onitsuka Tigers are subtle and classic, and provide decent support. I have a narrow foot and find that this style suits me well. A little more arch support might be helpful, but I can walk around in them for a long time without my feet getting tired. They're not big and clunky, and the stripe is very cool. Definitely worth it!

In love with my ASSICS, I wear them everyday so just looking for another pair.

I bought these in two colors specifically for walking so I’d have something both comfortable and stylish, not a big bulky sneaker. I also wanted a vegan shoe rather than leather, and I am happy that Onitsuka tiger has this! They are very comfortable and true to size. Plus they look great!

These shoes are super comfortable. I usually wear vans or converse but I decided to try these and I am very happy. They fit amazing and look great! They’re perfect for casual wear or the gym. I love the little red on the white shoes! I might have found my new go to sneaker!

I've been eyeing these shoes ever since I visited Japan and was introduced to them. It took a while for me to pull the trigger because I usually don't spend this much money on casual sneakers, but boy am I glad I did. These are hands-down my favorite shoes. The arch support is fantastic. They breathe but have great protection if the ground is a little wet. I wore them on a trip to NYC for the first time and walked all day in them and was totally comfortable the whole time. But, most importantly, they look so damn cool. I smile every time I look at them. I'm usually a size 7-1/2 so I got an 8 because the reviews said they ran small, and they fit perfectly, so I'd definitely recommend sizing up a bit. Honestly, I'll probably get another pair. Can't recommend them enough!

With low arches that, before detection, gave me constant back pain, I buy nothing that doesn't provide arch support. This shoe does. It does not have a soft foam interior but more importantly, for me, it has a solid sole and foot bed that reduces stress on my feet during long walks around Costco. That said, the shoe is adorable. It has a low profile so it looks like an aerobic shoe but provides support like a walking shoe. I will buy it again. Too bad there's only black and white.

This is the most comfortable athletic shoe I’ve worn. I have hard to fit feet, and these fit perfectly! Thanks for great customer service, Zappos!

Love this style of Asics as I own a few pair. Light, comfortable and pretty much goes with anything. Ordered the white and probably going to wear them sparingly as to not get them too dirty!

I've been wearing these for years and they have been pretty consistent in quality. Can't really beat the price. My only gripe about these sneakers is that you cannot replace the insole.

I'm a girl, I wanted running shoes. All of the girl running shoes are lame and pink and ugly. I wanted all black shoes. These are all black. And they are shoes. I like them. They make me feel cool.

I've worn this shoe for years. These are as cute as ever, but they run really narrow.

These shoes run long. The US sizes seem to be off standard. For example, EU size 39 is usually a US women's size 8.5, but Onitsuka Tiger considers it to be a women's 7.5. Their US size 8.5 is EU 40. For running shoes I wear US W9, which is usually EU size 39-40. However, the Tigers I ordered say US9, EU40.5. Too big, going back. I would recommend going by the EU sizes, if you know yours. So sad -- the shoes are so cute, and they are out of stock so I can't exchange them. But some lucky person will get them....!

These were purchased to replace my Saucony Bullet classics and I'm pleased. The fit is true to size, somewhat narrow, low profile and good for hiking. Also, Zappos delivered my item earlier than the expected arrival. Foot size: 9.5 W Purchased: 8.0 M Shoe material: non-leather; nylon and faux suede

These are my day to day kicking around shoes. I swapped out the insole for better support, but they're great little shoes.

Timeless shoes. Wish the soles held up a bit longer as they wear moderately quick.

Love these shoes. My only complaint is that they're lacking in the cushioning department but I still love wearing them and they're the perfect mix of athletic and casual.
