The
history of Onitsuka Tiger shoes began with the establishment
of Onitsuka Co. Ltd. in 1949. Based on the philosophy of bringing
up sound youth through sports, the company has maintained
the tradition of specializing in the manufacturing of sports
shoes and clothing using original ideas and applying epoch-making
techniques.
As
the Japanese people recovered from the second world war and
began to appreciate the benefits of sports, Onitsuka Tiger
shoes were on their feet. The first basketball shoes in Japan
had a tiger face design on the arch of the foot and this became
Onitsuka's trademark. In the 1960's, Onitsuka Tiger shoes
were worn not only by the Japanese, but also by top foreign
athletes.

In
2001, ASICS America Corporation quietly resurrected the Onitsuka
Tiger brand with original models of Onitsuka shoes and Onitsuka
clothing updated in today's flavorful colors.
Over
the past few years, the Onitsuka Tiger brand has been enjoying
a growing number of new, dedicated shoe followers along with
a steady desire for Onitsuka clothing and Onitsuka bags, realized
today on Zappos.com. Through sometimes secretive grassroots
marketing efforts, ASICS has been able to spread this word
about this authentic comeback for Onitsuka Tiger .
Now
that the secret is out... Onitsuka Tiger is a growing and
highly sought after brand with its ever-growing lineup of
Onitsuka Tiger shoes, Onitsuka Tiger clothing and Onitsuka
Tiger bags. There are more Onitsuka Tiger mens s and Onitsuka
Tiger women s models just sitting in the ASICS vault waiting
to be re-released.
The
future is what this retro brand has to look forward to. Because
ASICS knows that there are people out there who don't need
to run fast...they just want to look good.
