Notable features of the shoe
The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 casual sneaker displays a design from the classic collection of the brand, modernized for the current market. The upper was inspired by the Delegation iteration contemporized with the Flyfoam Propel midsole and rubber sponge on its outsole. These technologies not only update the look of the vintage model but also provides lightweight cushioning and a bouncy, shock-absorbing feel.
Why trust us
Cross country shoes was unveiled to the public in 1968 during the Olympic Parde of Nations. It was the first Onitsuka Tiger sneaker that wore the brand's signature stripe, which is also seen in ASICS sneakers today.
The brand, later on, re-created and launched this classic iteration as Onitsuka Tiger Mexico Delegation. It features vintage details with a premium suede upper instead of classic leather. To further establish its reputation as a streetwear trailblazer, the brand launched various versions of the Delegation. Most of these versions were inserted with modern technology to enhance comfort, lightness, and adaptability.
Another Delegation iteration recently unveiled is the EX version. The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 features design cues from the 60s added with Flytefoam Propel technology on the midsole and on the outsole. This tech is made of a lightweight foam combination that absorbs shock effectively.
Cross country shoes
The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 for men and women has a durable rubber outsole that provides traction on various surfaces.
