I love the Ultimate 81 style and thought that they had been phased out by Onitsuka, so I was excited to find a replacement pair in my size on Zappos! They take a bit of initial breaking in, but wear super-comfortably and last a long time.

I have owned and worn about forty pair of Onitsukas. You can't go wrong with a pair of Tigers.

I love and have owned around forty pair of Onitsuka's. You can't go wrong with any of their forms of Tigers.

I've never owned a pair of Onitsuka Tigers before and bought these upon the recommendation of a trusted close friend. They fit great and weigh as light as a feather. I love the color-matched shoelaces and the suede accents - I would absolutely buy this shoe again.

My "go to" tennis show, very comfortable, wears well and you can trek about all day as they're quite light but still provide support. Not good for any weather but wasn't expected.

Yeeees awesome sneakers, never heard of the brand or maybe did in the 80s/90s but just forgot. Super lightweight, comfortable, fashionable, fun to wear. Highly recommend.

I've been a fan of Onitsuka Tigers since my first pair about 15 years ago, but this is the first I've bought since 2014 and from Vietnam, where as my last pair was made in Thailand. I've read plenty of things on here about questionable craftsmanship and/or materials, either related to the country of origin or perhaps for being vegan friendly shoes. I have been wearing them only about a week now but am happy to say they seem just as well put together as my past pairs. Time will tell about durability, but out of the box they look and feel fantastic and the charcoal gray looks better than the pictures show. Fit is true, I'm a 12 in most shoes and a 12 with these. Maybe a tad narrower than other shoes, but that's pretty obvious from the shape and it shouldnt be a surprise if you have had tigers before. Shouldn't be an issue for most people, my feet are normal width and they seem to fit perfectly. Something to note, these are called Ultimate 81's on here, but they arrive labeled as Traxy Trainers. Same shoe, different name based on where they are sold I suppose? Anyway, from everything I can tell they are just like the pair of Ultimate 81's I purchased in 2014 and if you are into Tigers then you won't be disappointed. Also, it seems like the availability of these shoes has decreased since then. Zappos was the only store that had Ultimate 81's in my size, and these still were only like my 4th choice in color/model. Supply chain issues I guess? Hopefully they keep making them, this is the only shoe brand I am sorta interested in collecting.

No other sneaker does it like the Onitsuka 81. Faves of all time. Lite, stylish, firm but extremely comfortable. Fully recommend them. So happy to have found my size!!

Love these shoes. My husband had a pair in a different color when I first met him and I have been eyeing. Them ever since. Very comfortable to walk in.

Sizing was accurate. I bought these in two sizes to see which fit and my true size was the one that ended up working best. I've had other Onisuka's that always felt small.
Note! These are NOT white shoes. They're a little more creamy, so don't plan to match them with anything stark white, or they'll look off.

This is my second pair of this exact shoe. It is great casual, but I can also wear it to the office as it is mostly black and goes with everything. Support is minimal, but it is minimalist shoe so that is unsurprising.

This is a fun fashion sneaker! I got a half size up and there’s just enough wiggle room to wear a slightly thicker pair of socks if it gets cold. I don’t think they’re comfortable enough to spend all day walking around in them sightseeing, but they’re perfect for running errands and such. They feel lightweight and sleek.

These run a little large. had to size down. I love them though. Very little support. They wear like slippers for outside.
