Asics Onitsuka Tiger combines history + style with their Mexico Delegation release to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Limber Up design - one of the first to feature the brand's iconic stripes and released in 1966 as the Japanese delegation shoes for the Mexico City Olympics. Slim silhouette features a soft suede upper, comfortably padded collar and a textured off-white midsole. One of the oldest shoe companies in Japan, Onitsuka Tiger was created by Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka with the hope of uniting postwar Japanese youth and communities through sports. The brand grew to become Asics, one of the world's leading sports brands, and in 2002 Onitsuka Tiger relaunched with reimagined designs of their original models
