Story & heritage

MEXICO 66™ is the line most closely associated with Onitsuka Tiger’s modern identity: the stripe story crystallized on this slim runner, which the brand traces to the Mexico City era of the late 1960s.

Wikipedia places the model in the brand’s long archive of performance shoes, and Farfetch describes this version as a classic training-shoe-inspired runner with the legendary side stripes.

Materials & craft

Farfetch lists this pair in calf leather with a silver-tone finish, signature Tiger stripes and a flat rubber sole.

The shape stays low and tapered, with a round toe, lace-up front and branded heel tab keeping the silhouette close to the original runner language.

How to choose & style

Wear it when you want the most unmistakably Onitsuka Tiger shoe in the lineup: simple denim, cropped trousers and track pieces let the stripes do the work.

Silver reads more archival and athletic; off-white or beige versions soften the look without losing the model’s recognisable line.
