Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

got these for my husband for Christmas. He loves them. He is normally wearing running shoes and just wanted to get him something a little more sporty. He has said that they do run a little (less than a half size) big and that they don't have a ton of support. However, overall he seems to like these cool kicks. It helps that they are the New Orleans Saints colors, too!

A great shoe! This shoe fits well, is comfortable, and does make your foot look smaller. I'm thinking about buying another pair in a different color.

I bought these for my son & he loves them! They are really nice looking shoes; they also come with two different color laces.

Bought these as a Christmas gift for my 16 year old son. He didn't ask for this specific style, just something from Asics, so I was a bit worried, but he loved them and told me he got a lot of compliments at school. Cool looking sneaker that turned out to be a big hit!

Just got these an they are great. Stylish, but not too flashy. Can wear with jeans or slacks (in a casual office). Definitely fit true to size: I'm a 6.5/7. Got the 6.5s and they're perfect.

I bought these sneakers for my boyfriend for Christmas. He loves them and wears them constantly. Make sure when you order them you order 1/2 size larger because they run small. He always wears a 10 and I had to get him a 10 1/2.

This is a very good shoe for a wide foot and appropriately sized lengthwise. Surprisingly, comfy considering that the shoe doesn't appear to contain much padding on the bottom.

My item arrived very quickly, and my girlfriend loves them since they are simple, comfortable, and were a good price. She loves them, and thought they were a good gift for Christmas.

I have 3 pairs of the Ultimate 81\'s. By far the best shoes I\'ve ever had. These are way better than the Mexico 66\'s.

Absolutely love the Ultimate 81 by Asics. Epitome of retro style and comfort. I have owned another pair for 3 years and they\'re still going strong. Extremely comfortable and with a wide range of styles available this is a shoe you could easily find yourself owning several pairs of.

These are great shoes and very stylish. I have the black/black and the gray/storm combination. They are very comfortable and great for my wide feet. I would recommend them. Zappos delivery was excellent as usual!

I bought these shoes for my son for Christmas and he loves them. He has commented numerous times how cool they are and how much he likes them! Great gift from a great Zappos!

Let me start off by saying, the shoes are great. This is my 3rd consecutive pair of Onitsuka Tigers, and I have no plans on changing anytime soon. They are some of the lightest, most comfortable shoes I have ever had. As for my experience ordering from Zappos, I believe this is also my 3rd time, and they haven't let me down yet. The shoes were on my doorstep the day after ordering, free shipping, and complete with a second pair of shoelaces. To sum it up, I'd say: Why go anywhere else?

Amazing Zappos service, as always. Shoe is cute, nice arch support. I would not call this a heavy duty running shoe, but a nice athletic shoe.

I love my new Asics shoes! The retro look of them is very stylish and gives a nicer look to an outfit than a typical sneaker. The fit is true to size and very comfortable. I work retail and I'm on my feet for 9-11 hours a day and with my new Asics, my feet aren't tired after a long days work! They are great!

These are very comfortable and stylish shoes. I don\'t use them for any sports, just for regular wear. I ordered the black pair, which I thought had some gray in them from the picture, but they are just black and the reason they appeared to be 2-toned is that some of the black material is shiny and reflects light. This is my 3rd pair of these shoes and I really like them.

Overall, this is a good sneaker. It goes well with jeans. The only thing is the shoes run a little large. If you have not worn tigers before, I recommend getting both sizes since the sizes since the sizing runs larger than Puma and Nike.

I am very pleased with these shoes. I have a wide foot, and unlike many of the other vintage shoes currently selling from Puma, Adidas, and the like (including some of other models sold by Onitsuka Tiger) these shoes have adequate space and comfort for those with a wider foot. These shoes seem well made, offer a good sole shape, adequate arch support, are comfortable for walking, are light and breathe well, and are very stylish. I ordered the blue/silver/black ones. They look teal in the photos, but are actually a darker blue. One word of caution: These shoes seem to run a bit longer than regular modern Asics shoes. I've got a pair of Gel-Frantics that I wear in 13 with just a bit of extra space. I ordered these Ultimate 81s in 12.5 and probably could've gone down to a 12.

I love ordering shoes from Zappos. They always come early, and returns appear to be very easy (though I've never had to return anything). These shoes were a Christmas present, and they went over very well.

These shoes fit perfect. I'm sick of big puffy shoes so these are perfect. Zappos is a first class business. The only thing is I'm wondering how long these shoes will last.

I have the black/steel gray shoes and I've been very happy them so far. They're very comfortable. They are appropriate for casual dress at work and durable enough for athletics (although I haven't tried anything too grueling in them yet). I did have to make an exchange because the first pair I received was too big.

First, the Tigers are great. Comfortable, stylish, and I love the color combinations. I have received several compliments since I began wearing them about a month ago. Second, the Zappos service was unparalleled. I ordered a size too small at first, and while I knew Zappos has free shipping both ways, I didn't expect it to be so simple. After a short phone call, the correct size was not only on its way to me, but it had been upgraded to overnight shipping, free of charge. The next night, despite the fact that I hadn't even repackaged and returned the first pair, the replacements arrived on my doorstep, fitting perfectly. From start to finish the experience was a breeze, and there is no question that Zappos is the most efficient and friendly online retailer that I have dealt with in my many years of e-commerce. Five stars.

True to size. Nice looking. Flat/neutral shoe, without all the built up sole and fancy (expensive) whiz bang materials. (I don't have a problem being short, and I like being close to the ground.) Nice, low center of gravity. Great for driving, too!

I love these shoes! I thought they were a little snug at first, but then broke them it. They fit fine and are very comfy. I got drizzle/black, with the red shoelaces. To my surprise, they also came with black shoelaces!
