ASICS Onitsuka Tiger
Onitsuka Tiger trainers pair Japanese sporting heritage with a low-profile, retro look that has never really left the streetwear conversation. First made in Kobe back in 1949 and now the heritage line of ASICS, the brand is best known for the crossed tiger stripe that first appeared on the Mexico 66 ahead of the 1968 Olympics. Our ASICS Onitsuka Tiger range brings together the silhouettes and colourways people keep coming back to, every pair authenticated in-house before it reaches your door.

The Story Behind Onitsuka Tiger
Few trainers carry as much history as Onitsuka Tiger. The company was founded by Kihachiro Onitsuka in 1949 and spent its early years making footwear for Japanese athletes, before merging with two other firms in 1977 to form ASICS. The Onitsuka Tiger name was revived in 2002 as a heritage lifestyle line, and its vintage running silhouettes quickly found a second life in everyday wardrobes. Part of the appeal is simply how easy Onitsuka Tiger shoes are to wear out and about: slim soles, soft suede and nylon uppers, and a flat, understated shape that sits neatly with jeans, trousers or shorts. Whether you know them from the track, the terraces or the big screen, Onitsuka Tiger trainers remain one of the most recognisable names in retro footwear.
Men's and Women's Onitsuka Tiger Trainers
The Onitsuka Tiger range leans on clean, track-inspired silhouettes rather than chunky, technical runners. The Mexico 66 is the icon of the line, a slim leather and suede style defined by those signature side stripes, and it sits alongside other retro shapes such as the trail-ready Onitsuka Tiger Colorado 85, all built on the same flat, streamlined sole. Because the designs are so understated and unisex, they work equally well as men's Onitsuka Tiger everyday trainers or as women's Onitsuka Tiger pairs styled with anything from denim to tailoring, and the low, simple shapes suit a wide range of feet. If you are new to the brand, browsing the wider collection is a good way to compare Onitsuka Tiger sneakers against ASICS' more performance-focused running models before you decide.
Onitsuka Tiger Colours and Colourways
Colour is a big part of the Onitsuka Tiger appeal. The most familiar look is the yellow-and-black pairing made famous by the yellow pair worn on screen in Kill Bill in 2003, but the range runs far wider than that. Expect clean all-white and off-white options, classic monochrome black, and heritage-leaning tones like navy, cream, green and grey, usually finished with contrast stripes and a gum or off-white sole. If you prefer to shop by shade across the wider brand, our colour pages make it easy: browse white ASICS, grey ASICS, blue ASICS, green ASICS or silver ASICS to narrow things down to your favourite colourway.
