Onitsuka Tiger! • Thursday, February 09, 2006 • 11:33 PM


I'm very excited because I ordered some shoes online that arrived yesterday. I've always been a little obsessed with Asics. Especially the Onitsuka Tiger line. The classic Onitsuka Tigers include those like the yellow and black pair (though she wore several other pairs as well) Uma wore in Kill Bill Vol. 1 (of course homage to Bruce Lee's Game of Death outfit):




Those are cool. Also, very expensive and hard to find. While I didn't get that model (though that would be awesome!) I did find some other retro re-commission styles from the Onitsuka line that were quite reasonable. One of the pairs I got is vegetarian; there are quite a few styles of the Onitsuka line that do not use leather. Sigh, oh, Onitsuka Tigers.



I got these two pairs. They are very comfortable, as I would expect from Asics. I used to always by Asics running shoes back in the day when I ran long distance. They run about a half size small, which is great for my narrow feet.
