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! ## Features - Canvas/Synthetic Leather ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00UBTAP9Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #269,382 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #1,171 in Men's Fashion Sneakers #1,975 in Women's Fashion Sneakers | | Brand | Onitsuka Tiger | | Closure Type | Pull-On | | Closure type | Pull-On | | Color | Navy/Off-white | | Cushioning Level | moderate | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 7,752 Reviews | | Embellishment Feature | Patch Logo, Tiger Branding | | Fit to Size Sentiment | Neutral | | Formality Level | Casual | | Heel Type | Flat | | Inner material | Cotton, Polyester | | Insole Cushioning | [Standard] | | Item Type Name | Sneaker | | Lace Ends | Flat plastic tips | | Manufacturer Part Number | TH3K0N-5099 | | Material Fabric | Canvas/Synthetic Leather | | Model Name | Mexico 66 Slip-on | | Occasion Lifestyle | Comfort | | Occasion Type | Daily Wear, Casual | | Outer Material | Leather | | Outer material | Leather | | Pattern | Solid | | Seasons | All | | Shoe Height Map | Low Top | | Shoe Type | Loafer | | Sole Material | Leather | | Sole material | Leather | | Special Features | Combination Canvas/Synthetic Leather Material, Lace-free, Slip-on Construction | | Specific Uses For Product | Sports | | Sport Type | Running | | Stitching Style | Either 'Whip stitch' or 'Back stitch' | | Strap Type | Slip-On | | Style Name | Slip-on | | Style Number | TH3K0N | | Subject Character | Barbie | | Theme | casual, daily wear, slip-on shoes | | Toe Style | Closed Toe | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | ## Images ![Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Classic Running Shoe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81cdDb-5RQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The original shoe with the Asics double-stripes *by C***K on October 6, 2012* This is a very comfortable sneaker.

They're super-comfortable (which I've come to expect from Onitsuka) and (also meeting my Onitsuka expectations) very well-made. Tigers last as long or longer than Vans (which really is something special). In fact, until a couple of years ago, I wore Vans exclusively--because their longevity could not be matched (in that price point). But I have officially switched to Onitsuka Tigers (for their longevity, comfort, and style. You really can't go wrong with these (except, perhaps, for ordering the wrong size). Note: These shoes are the opposite of non-slip. On ice and wet floors, they are noticeably MORE slippery than other shoes. On linoleum or tile floors, water might as well be Astro-Glide. EDIT, FOUR MONTHS AFTER POSTING THIS INITIAL REVIEW: I still love them. On the outside, they're still in great shape. They almost look new, except for some wrinkles in the leather--a result of it taking the shape of my foot. One drawback I did not consider: They're leather, so heat and moisture have nowhere to go. At the end of a long day (waiting tables) my feet come out of these shoes smelling like they never have with any other pair of shoes. My recommendation: Don't wear them when you're going to be on your feet running around like a maniac for six to eight hours without an opportunity to remove them and let your feet (and the shoes) breathe. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/731955177-onitsuka-tiger-mexico-66-classic-running-shoe](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/731955177-onitsuka-tiger-mexico-66-classic-running-shoe) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
