These blue Onitsuka Tiger by Asics Ultimate 81 shoes have a sort of "parachute" nylon for the rear 2/3 of the shoe, and "mesh" for the front 1/3 of the shoe. I find that this is more comfortable and better looking than some of the other Onitsuka Tiger by Asics Ultimate 81 shoes that are 100% mesh. In general, I love these shoes.

Shoe looks and feels great, fits the same size as my other Asics running shoes. Not running in this one; bought for fashion, and it works.

Very cool shoes! I bought them for my boyfriend's 27th birthday because they are so bright and retro looking. The blue and yellow look great. He is a size 13 with narrow feet and he says they fit him great and he loves them! The fabric on the outside of the shoe is fairly easy to clean and it's been over a month and his shoes still look sharp and bright. I would recommend these shoes to anyone looking for something other than the standard gray, black or white shoe. The variety of colors offered by Onitsuka Tigers is refreshing. Thanks!

This is my first pair of Onitsuka Tiger shoes and I have to say I like them very much. I usually wear Nike (11), Vans (10.5), KangaROOS (11), Birkenstock (43) or PUMA (11), and now I can add another brand to my repertoire. These shoes fit so comfortable. They have an almost stretchy type material, that is very forgiving on your feet. The shoes fit true to size, (I ordered these in a size 10.5) and they fit great with just a little bit of wiggle room for your toes. The cut of the shoes is more wide in the toe box than other vintage/retro style shoes I own. That is why I was able to order them in a size 10.5. There is no arch support but that is fine with me. If I wanted arch support I'd wear my Birkenstock shoes. I plan on picking up a few more pairs in other colors soon. I highly recommend these shoes for casual walking, or a nice shoe to wear on Friday jeans day at work. I don't think I would do too much jogging in them. Check out a pair if you can.

I love the Onitsuka Tigers, very comfortable and great styles. I can wear them all day and I don't even notice they are there. Highly recommended.

These shoes are awesome. Very comfortable and true to size. They are on the narrow side, which works for my feet. Thank you Zappos for being the best company ever!

These shoes are absolutely comfortable and I get compliments on them daily after having them for a month. They're made very well and the arch support is pleasing for such deliciously handsome shoes.

I love the kix! I changed the shoestrings to the neon ones for more flare, and I wore them around Europe for 12 days. My feet never hurt after a day of walking. I also get a lot of compliments on them! It is true; they run a half size larger. Buy them today, you won't regret it!

Zappos thank you for the free next day shipping. I am never disappointed when I shop with you. I wear a 6.5 in woman's so I purchased a 5 in a man's size and they fit just right!

These shoes are great: true to size and extremely comfortable. They’re lightweight too so that you almost forget you’re even wearing shoes. Definitely recommend them.

These shoes are comfortable and stylish. They came with multiple laces to help personalize the shoe further. I'm very happy with the purchase and with Zappos for super quick delivery!

This is my first Asics purchase and I like my kicks! I feel bouncy and supported when I wear them, especially with the arch support. I'm used to New Balance's and Adidas which don't have arch support. I also love the fun colors, and that these come with an extra pair of yellow laces. Now that I'm starting to jog, I can wear these (or my Saucony shoes), although a friend said these are too nice to ruin, haha. Enjoy your Asics! I had to go a 1/2 size smaller. I tried these shoes on at my local store, then ordered here on Zappos. Zappos prices are lower and they have a great return policy, not that I would return my new red kicks!

I love these. Affordable, comfortable, hot, and solid - these shoes don\'t fall apart. They breathe well and are still warm in the rain and cold. These are the perfect all round shoe for wearing around town comfortably and stylishly. They come in so many colors and they are so affordable I just keep ordering more pairs.\r\n\r\n

I had a great experience with Zappos. I ordered these sneakers for my boyfriend and he loved them. The customer service was excellent and they were delivered the next day as promised.

These shoes are cute and very comfortable. I walk miles in them and also wear them around the city to do errands. They are so great I\'m ordering another pair.

I was so excited to receive these shoes, but I won't keep them because of the color. I purchased the Zappos Exclusive color Black/Steel Grey because I wanted something which would be very neutral and work with lots of different pants. The darker portions of the shoes are not true black, and because the fabric is a denim it has a sheen to it that I wasn't expecting. I would say that overall these shoes are dark blue and ended up clashing with several of my pairs of jeans, which is a deal breaker. Otherwise these are a good quality shoe, I just wish they were true to the description and photos on the website.

A great experience, even from all the way down here in NZ. Got great advice via the live chat support and positive service on the phone. The shoes were delivered to my brothers hotel pronto and ultimately ended up in my hands (and on my feet) in under a week. Sweet!

Great shoes! This is my second pair of Asics. They are so comfortable the size fits perfectly. The yellow neon is not that bright and actually match a lot of my stuff.

Awesome shoes. I was looking for shoes I could walk in all day, as I'm a college student and walk almost everywhere. These shoes proved to be more than I expected. The shoes breath, and I don't have foot pain anymore. :)

Shoes were exactly what I expected. They fit true and are very lightweight and comfortable. My only gripe is that they are a little shinier than the picture; a little flashier, but they dimmed after a while. I like them and would buy them again.

This shoe looks great and feels great. I have this same shoe in about 3-4 different color schemes just because I love how they fit and look. Only two warnings, both of which are very minor: 1. These aren't cold weather shoes. They're very light and a cold breeze will go right through them and you foot will be chilly. 2. When you first get the shoes, they will click on hard surfaces until you break in the soles. Like I said, neither of these things detract from these shoes, but just things to keep in mind.

Cool kicks -- attractive, comfortable, fun. Got these for my husband, and he was impressed that they were comfortable as well as stylish.

Very comfy shoes. I have narrow feet so usually go for snug sneakers. However these are actually wide shoes that are comfortable and although they don't give much arch support, my feet feel like they can breathe. They are very roomy shoes. I'd recommend getting a 1/2 size smaller if you have skinny feet.

These shoes are great! I wear them most walking around the city to and from work. I have a somewhat wider foot and these shoes fit just fine. They are extremely lightweight and run a bit on the larger size. I usually wear a 6.5 but the 6 fits perfectly. I got the black, blue, gold and yellow pair and the color shown is true to how it looks in hand.
