Onitsuka Tiger has announced that it will collaborate with Capcom Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, Capcom) to support various projects related to “Street Fighter 6” the latest installment in the Street Fighter series.

As there is great potential to build a borderless esports community that admits anyone regardless of age, gender, nationality, or disability, their partnership aspires to popularize esports by supporting various opportunities and challenges.

Capcom and Onitsuka Tiger are brands that originated in Japan and their cultures celebrate the old while adding the new. This will be their second collaboration following on the heels of the marketing of their collaboration shoes for the 2019 “Street Fighter V Arcade Edition.”

This collaboration will involve the production of original visuals for a transgenerational team of old and new characters. Chun-Li, a staple character, will wear Onitsuka Tiger’s iconic model MEXICO 66, while Kimberly a new character for Street Fighter 6, will wear DELECITY a model which combines the essence of archival shoes for a modern design.

Collaborative T-shirts printed with original visuals of Chun-Li and Kimberly will also be produced. Only available in Japan, they can be purchased at the CAPCOM Online Store E-CAPCOM and at Capcom Stores (Tokyo and Osaka). The design and price details will be publicized later at E-CAPCOM and Capcom Stores (Tokyo and Osaka).
