Customer Reviews Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81®

Pretty good shoe - Although the size was a little larger than marked compared to my puma's they still fit fine and feel very nice. I can't wait until the day I get to throw them at a head of state.

Sleek but comfortable - I've had a few sleek track shoes in the past, but they usually don't have enough cushion in them to actually run in them. Not so with these. Hip enough to wear to a client meeting, squishy enough to ease on the treadmill. I just bought another pair.

I get a lot of compliments - They are very comfortable. Be sure to order a half size larger than you would normally wear.

Stylish and Comfortable - This shoe is super cute and comfortable. It did hurt the back of my heel at first, but after wearing them a few times; it doesn't hurt that area anymore.

Great Shoe for Crossfit - This is the second pair of Tigers I have purchased in the last 3 weeks. I liked the first pair so much, that I bought another pair to rotate. Although most people probably use this shoe for walking or for casual wear, I use them for Crossfit workouts. The flat sole, even though the heel is slightly raised, has been good for deads and squats, as well as kettlebells and sandbags. For sprints and plyometrics, they have been good as well. They are lightweight and have decent arch support. The cut around the toe is perfect for me. They broke in easily and I've had no problems at all. Before these shoes, I wore Adidas Sambas for Crossfit. Although a very tough shoe and lasted forever, they are not nearly as comfortable as the Tigers. If you are only doing kettlebells, squats and deads, the Sambas are better. But if you are mixing it up with other things, the Asics are perfect, IMHO. I wear a size 10 in the Sambas and the size 9 1/2 in the Tigers were perfect. I had to exchange the 10s I had originally ordered and Zappos exchanged them with no problem. I don't expect them to last as long as the Sambas, but I really don't care. As long as Asics keeps making them, I will keep buying this shoe.

He's enjoying them. They were a present for my boyfriend. He has every color, now the black/charcoal. He loves them and thinks they are extremely comfortable. And they go with everything.

Great quality/style! My teenage daughter loves these shoes; she is very picky and so is mom, so take this as a compliment :) Asics don't fall apart like Nike, adidas, etc. Great fit, look, quality... thanks much!

Good looking tennis shoes! I ordered these shoes for my boyfriend as a gift. The shoes arrived VERY fast, even around Christmas time. However, we had to return them and get a larger size. The shoes fit very tight in the width. We re-ordered the shoes a half size bigger, and they are perfect!

Comfortable and SO Cool - Very comfy, funky and awesome. True to size- love this sneaker!!!

Love these shoes - These Tigers are by far the most comfortable weekend shoe that I own. I ordered the black and grey pair and love wearing them with my jeans or my yoga pants. I was impressed with all of the toe room. There was no breaking in time. They were perfect the first time I put them on. I will be buying more Tigers.

Sickkkk - The Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81's are an amazing shoe! They're re-makes of the original model from 1981 when they were actually used as running/cross training shoes. They brought them back in all the same crazy funky colors as they did back in the 80s and I love it! They're very comfortable to wear anywhere (especially around campus) and I've had a pair last me almost 3 years now!

I love these shoes. Most comfortable shoe I've ever worn, and surprisingly durable... my last pair has lasted 2 years and counting!

No problems - Size 11s fit great – got the silver and blue. They are attention-grabbers for sure.

Nice shoe! Great looking shoe with a comfortable fit. Not too serious athletically speaking, but good everyday look.

Super fresh skinny sneakers, but A LOT of arch support. I really love the style and colors of these shoes. I got the Amazon rainforest ones and they come with neon laces and grey laces. I like them because I can wear them with skinny jeans without looking like a mom. I am a college instructor and I wear them with dress pants too for a funky casual look. They fit my size perfectly, but there is a large arch support "bump" that I am not used to. Still, I love them and have been wearing them just about every day!

Stylish shoe! I have the black/gray version of these shoes and they are very stylish! These definitely are not for running though as they don't offer much support or cushioning.

Dope - Great shoe. I got the white/black, and I get tons of compliments on them. The dual-color midsole looks fresh, and it's just a sleek shoe in general. Really comfortable, too. The first few times I wore it the heel cup rubbed my Achilles a bit but it's leather and it breaks in after the first few wearings and fits great. Great cushioning, and unexpectedly pretty good arch support for a retro shoe (I've got flat feet).

Not bad at all - Very nice shoes, I have to say that I ordered two pairs of the same shoe, but in different colors, and one of the pair felt slightly smaller. They get easier to wear as you put them on, but it seems as though they are tight right on top of the big toe. I ordered the Ultimate 81 three times, they all seemed a little tight even when I ordered a half size bigger than what I usually wear. The whole shoe is fine, just that part right on top of the toe is where I had somewhat of a problem. I love the shoe and it's worth it if you can bare the pain awhile.

Great! I really like these shoes. They are light weight, very comfortable and very stylish.

Sweet shoes - I'm pretty sure my shoes were shipped overnight, which was awesome. I got the green version of these Onitsuka Tigers, and my shoes turn heads. They're comfortable, cute and look good. Casual shoes that you'd want to wear out, not shoes you' would wear to work, or the gym. Good purchase.

I absolutely adore these sneakers and would highly recommend them. They are light, comfortable and don’t irritate your feet anywhere.

I'm in LOVE - These are the best pair of shoes I have bought in ages! Very comfortable and a true fit. I absolutely love them.

By far the best. I admit I was cautious when ordering these shoes. I have a wide foot, due to the fact that my feet are flat, but these are easily the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. They are definitely true to size. I recommend this shoe to anyone who likes the '81 style of the Asics Tigers.

Awesome shoes! These are very comfortable shoes and very light. I would definitely recommend these shoes to anyone looking for comfort and style.

Just what you need to feel different - This shoe is a very comfortable and really soft shoe. I wouldn’t mind buying 4 extra pairs from the same style.
