## Description

The iconic Mexico 66 was born in 1966 and debuted at the 1968 Olympic games pre-trials in Mexico with a premium white leather, stitched with red and blue tiger stripes. Today, the classic runner has been reawakened and remains to be the most popular shoe in the Onitsuka Tiger collection. Award yourself a gold medal in the retro-cool sneaker competition wearing the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66. Introduced in 1966, this was the first shoe with the famous tiger stripes and worn at the Olympic games in Mexico in 1968. History lessons aside, this is one sweet sneak with a tonal leather and suede upper, soft lining and traction-loving outsole. Since 1949, Onitsuka Tiger has created stylish sports products inspired by the Japanese values of craftsmanship and attention to detail. Through their crafts, Onitsuka Tiger brings together East and West, and demonstrates what it means to be "Made of Japan."

Review: The original shoe with the Asics double-stripes - This is a very comfortable sneaker. I typically wear minimalist shoes. I've tried the fabric version of these and a few other Onitsuka Tiger models, which are usually on the loose side (my foot just slid around inside several of them). These leather shoes are more fitted at the arch and sides of the toe box (but not too short in length or tight across the toe box), and I would feel much more comfortable working out in these. The sole is thin, with an allover miniature nub texture and a very slight increase in heel height. There is a low arch support. It basically has a flexible rubber sole with a thin, perforated sockliner. The white leather looks nice, though the suede toe cap looks like it will mark up, if you're not careful. As others mentioned, and like most shoes from that time, there is a bit of time required for these to break in. I wore them around the house a few days, and there was some rubbing on my Achilles, but after a couple of days (just wearing them a little each afternoon), the leather stretched to fit my foot. I would prefer that the heel tab stay folded down, but it will flip up on you quite a bit, until you've worn them quite a few times. You could use binder clips or something to help the fold set. These are nice enough for a casual look with chinos or more dressed up look with nicer jeans, and lots of folks comment on how cool/nice they look. They're relatively cheap, compared to other minimalist shoes, and they really are comfortable, once you break them in. If they were to get too dirty to wear as a casual shoe, I wouldn't have any qualms about wearing them to the gym as a basic workout shoe.
Review: LOVE these shoes! - I have numerous problems with foot pain, so I have a hard time finding shoes that meet my needs and are not ugly as homemade soup. These Onitsuka Tigers are absolutely fantastic for me! * Lightweight shoe - feels like you're wearing nothing at all! * Minimal arch support - I have flat feet. Most arch supports make my feet ache within a couple of hours. The Tiger has a very minimal arch support, and what's there is very soft. I have had no pain in my arches from these shoes. * Low profile - I also suffer from Achilles Tendon Bursitis, so I wear clogs most of the time to avoid aggravating it. These shoes are low enough in the back that they don't hurt my tendons at all. * Stylish! This is a HUGE bonus for me. These shoes are very cool looking. I get a lot of compliments on them and people always ask where I got them because you just don't see these around. They are very unique! * Great for multiple activities. The Tiger makes a wonderful walking shoe, and I've even worn them to Zumba and have had great results. I don't have anything negative to say about these shoes. I'd like to own about 100 more pairs!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well-made, look good.
*by K***E on August 15, 2025*

Well, they are lovely to look at. I was too enamored of them to notice they are slip-ons. They can be laced but not quite as easily as regular lace-ups. I have opted to lace them with Bread elastic laces so they remain slip-ons. I would suggest considering a half-size smaller as they seem to be a little loose as I continue to wear them--why I opted to lace them. The navy is a great color with jeans and I like that the off-white is crisp but not too high contrast.
