Onitsuka Tiger: Japanese Sneakers

Onitsuka Tiger – The Japanese Origin of Modern Sports Footwear

Onitsuka Tiger is the Japanese brand that laid the foundation for modern sports footwear: founded in 1949, it was the brand Phil Knight imported to the United States before creating Nike, and its Mexico 66 model remains one of the most sought-after retro sneakers in the world. At Next Step, you will find the most complete selection of Onitsuka Tiger.

Design and Features

Onitsuka Tiger has a clean, high-level Japanese aesthetic: the Mexico 66 with its diagonal stripes on the side, the Corsair, the Serrano, and the rest of the brand’s retro archive combine Japanese running styles from the 60s-80s with a current fashion sensibility closely aligned with Italian and Parisian fashion.

Materials and Technology

Premium leather or suede uppers in the retro models, with the Japanese build quality that characterizes the brand.
Rubber sole with the distinctive zebra pattern of the Mexico 66, the most iconic model in the catalog.
Color palettes ranging from the classic two-tone archive styles to seasonal fashion collaborations.
