Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Vin (Mineral Brown/Cream)

Part of the Mexico 66 line. This release has a leather upper. Mineral Brown and Cream is the Mexico 66 VIN at its most earthbound. Where the shoe's competitive origin story is all speed, this colourway is all soil: a dusty, slightly greyed brown through the crossed Tiger Stripes and heel, sitting on a cream body that the vintage finish has already warmed down from white. The silhouette itself dates to 1966, when Onitsuka built the Mexico line as a flagship to run at Adidas and Puma ahead of the 1968 Mexico City Games, and it was the first shoe to wear the Tiger Stripes. Brown is a modern decision on an old shape, and it moves the shoe firmly out of the sport aisle.
