The high top, with its tight upper originally designed to support the ankle during basketball, is one of fashion’s favorite silhouettes, worn everywhere from the streets to the runways. Its rise in fashion echoes the evolution of Onitsuka Tiger - both reimagined and reinterpreted functional sportswear to capture the attention of trend-makers and rule-breakers. We are the originator for our classic basketball shoe from 1950 and modernized it across our collections, adding the iconic design of the MEXICO 66™ sneaker as well as introducing advanced technology.
