while not the mexico 66s, the GSM style of the Onitsuka Tigers are really great! they feel like a cousin to the G.A.T. with a bit of a novel twist. very easy to walk in and are quite comfortable
tupperSep 2026Recommended for those who want the yellow one but hate that everyone in Mexico will be wearing the same thing
satoyaSep 2026I love my Onitsuka's they are comfortable and fit well. I wear my Mary jane version almost every day, I have to force myself to choose a different shoe.

History
Kihachiro Onitsuka founded the company in 1949 in Kobe, Japan, to promote youth health through athletics. The brand gained international recognition during the 1960s, particularly with the introduction of the Mexico 66 model. Historically, it served as the precursor to ASICS and played a pivotal role in the development of the modern running shoe. Its designs influenced early Western athletic footwear distribution and remain significant within the global heritage sneaker movement.
