Tokidoki x Onitsuka Tiger Fabre

Tokidoki x Onitsuka Tiger Fabre

Tokidoki were one of the first to do a legit LeSportSac collab, and although the aesthetic is very Hello Kitty, these dudes reside in Italy. An interesting establishment. Now they’re working with Onitsuka Tiger on the mid cut Fabre sneaker. Tokidoki’s signature characters adorn every facet of these from the sole to the lining and everywhere in between. Take this as a “wider look at the market”. We would never wear these. But hey, for a certain someone? These may be the kicks you’ve been waiting for. Spotted at ripe.

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 “Island Sneaker”

04 September 2009, 18.10 | Posted in Fashion, Sneakers | 1 comment »

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 "Island Sneaker"

To truly respect the brand’s heritage and authenticity, Onitsuka Tiger submerged in the Japanese symbolism of the 60 year cycle and discovered the ancient Japanese legend of the Zodiac Race. For their 60th anniversary Onitsuka Tiger created a huge ‘Zodiac Race’ sneaker island.

This fall 2009 Onitsuka Tiger will unveil its Cycle of life Zodiac product package to the public. It features a special T-shirt and a direct translation of the ‘Zodiac Race’ sneaker island into a Mexico 66 shoe. This version of the Mexico 66 is executed in an all over photo print with a very unique finish, giving the shoe an extra 3D effect and nice suede detailing.

The special celebration box (for the shoes) and the hang tag (for the T-shirt) both feature a design of the white paper and red and white ribbon traditionally used to wrap a 60th birthday present in Japan. The pack will be launched in October 2009.

More images of the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Island Sneaker and T-Shirt follow after the jump.

Onitsuka Tiger x Wood Wood X-Caliber GT

30 July 2009, 12.10 | Posted in Sneakers | No comments »

Onitsuka Tiger x Wood Wood X-Caliber GT

Once again Wood Wood shows us a new footwear collaboration. After recently working with adidas, Converse and others, they now worked with Onitsuka Tiger on the classic X-Caliber GT. Once again the Copenhagen label impresses by creating a shoe that it both classic and wearable, yet different from the masses. Too many collaborations out there go too crazy and turn out to be un-wearable, and it is never the case with Wood Wood’s work.

Select retailers will be receiving the Onitsuka Tiger x Wood Wood X-Caliber GT beginning of August.

More detailed images of the sneaker follow after the jump as well as here.

Onitsuka Tiger’s X-Caliber Returns

25 June 2009, 23.10 | Posted in Fashion | No comments »

onitsuka tiger caliber x 1 540x381 Onitsuka Tigers X Caliber Returns

Developed in 1982, the Onitsuka Tiger X-CALIBER was the first of its kind to feature a unique mid-sole design, incorporating air flex canals to give increased movement and superior cushioning.

It featured a reinforced toe design to help prevent injury to toes through slipping forward in motion, a unique zigzagged ‘quadra lacing’ system to ensure superior fit, mesh and nylon uppers to ensure better air ventilation and support, and most importantly – it looked great.

The X-CALIBER used the highest technology and most sophisticated designs available. The first shoes came out in a great range of early eighties colour ways. For the re-introduction the original colors are being reissued in true retro style: Red Clay/White and Blue/Silver. They will be launched at selected retailers across Europe on 1st of July.

Detailed images of both colorways of the Onitsuka Tiger X-Caliber follow after the jump.

The iconic silhouette from the Japanese sneaker brand features a reflective all-vegan upper, directed at the fixed gear rider. Well, at least you have some choice now.
