Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Slip-On (Pink/White)

Released on 20 May 2024 and part of the Mexico 66 line. This release has a konbu upper in Pink/White. The slip on takes the Mexico 66 outline and removes the lacing, which is a more radical edit than it sounds. Everything that made the 1966 original recognisable stays: the slim toe, the low flat profile, the crossed Tiger Stripes across the quarter that were first used on the Mexico line built ahead of the 1968 Mexico City Games. What goes is the eyestay and the throat, replaced by an elasticated opening you step into. In Pink and White, that simplification is amplified. There is nothing to look at except the shape and the stripe, rendered in a soft pink against white, so the shoe becomes almost a graphic outline of itself.
