Onitsuka Tiger releases a new collection of sneakers inspired by a tug-of-war

ONITSUKA TIGER brings style to your feet this rainy season with the new Tsunahiki collection that’s inspired by a tug-of-war competition shoe that was first introduced back in 1982. 
The Japan Tug-of-War Union was created in 1980, and the first nationwide Tug-of-War competition was held the following year. The first generation Tsunahiki model was one of the first tug-of-war competition shoes ever made.

Tsunahiki Lava Orange and Oatmeal shoes

Based on the original unique design, a wide wrapped rubber outer sole has been left intact, with the revival offering improving cushioning through the addition of an Ortholite mid-sole. The original piping – stretching from around the shoelace holes to the collar – and eyelet design have also been left the same.
