THE ICON SERIES is a contemporary reinterpretation of Onitsuka Tiger’s iconic designs from its brand history of over 70 years.
As a brand which started off producing athletes’ shoes, the ICON SERIES focuses on three styles worn by Japanese national team athletes of each time. The 1964 pairs are limited in quantity and serial numbers are printed to the socklining.
DELEGATION 64 was worn by the Japan’s national team in 1964. The reproduced model retains the original details such as the arch-shaped sole in the middle, the heel flap and unique heel reinforcement shape.
The two distinctive details – UI line on the side and indication of TOKYO ONITSUKA on the tongue label was only available on this model back then.
NIPPON 60 was worn by the Japan’s national team in 1960. The reproduced model with a combination of red and white leather and retro sport details recreates a striking upper design. The shoe also features an iconic circle inspired by the Japanese national flag.
Onitsuka Tiger’s apparel collection in the 1970’s featured colourful track suits and running wears using a unique stripe design called “B line”, and the MEXICO 66 SD PF offers this line to be used on shoes for the first time. The base shoe model is a contemporised style of MEXICO 66 with a platform sole.
