Onitsuka Tiger

I love sneakers and trainers than all the other type of shoes, just like I love jeans than trousers.

I miss my Air Kukini, my personal favourite of all time and wish I can own it again and I found it here! It has becomes a vintage collection and selling for nearly 20,000 yen (about GBP 90... bloody hell...).

The last pair of sneakers I bought was the yellow Adidas Tuscany GP which I had big problem cleaning the suede material, and that was 2 and half years ago.

Been looking for a replacement which is light weight and comfort and when I saw this, I know I wanna own it.

The dark brown/beige colour Onitsuka Tiger Runspark.

Onitsuka Co. Ltd. introduced its first sport-specific shoe in 1949 and now better known today as ASICS, re-introduces an original collection of Onitsuka Tiger footwear.

FYI, the brand was little-known until Uma Thurman wore the yellow shoes in the movie Kill Bill in 2003 (Timesonline). That's one huge re-branding success in the fashion industry.

It comes with two pairs of shoes strings, another look with the yellow strings. What do you think?


The only thing I hope is don't let me find it cheaper in KL when I go back in December!

Nice pair of shoes. I myself have been eying on that pair of shoes for so so long. RRP selling price in Australia is about AUD179(= RM554.90). But some shops, those on sale or clearance are selling for about AUD99 (=RM300 odd). Hey check out another brand of shoes which i think u might like at the following website(http://www.kowalski-shoes.com). Equally as expensive as Tiger Onitsuka.

Sadly i just got myself a pair of pumas. Hey dude when you heading back to Malaysia? Sorry can't meet up with you this year. Will stay in Australia over the new year. Do keep in touch. Ta.............
