FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 suitable for running?

While inspired by retro running shoes, the Mexico 66 is primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion trainer. It offers comfort for casual wear but lacks the advanced support and cushioning required for serious athletic running.

How do I clean the metallic gold leather?

Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher spots, use a mild soap solution on the cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive water. Leather conditioners can help maintain the material's quality.

What is the best way to ensure a correct fit?

Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger size guide for accurate measurements. It's also recommended to check customer reviews for insights into how the shoe fits (e.g., true to size, runs narrow/wide).

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The trainers are not waterproof. While the rubber sole offers some grip, wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions is not recommended as it can damage the leather and affect traction.

What makes the Mexico 66 model special?

The Mexico 66 is iconic for its sleek, low-profile design, the distinctive tiger stripes, and its blend of heritage athletic style with modern fashion appeal. It was one of the first models to feature the now-famous stripes.

Is the gold color true to the images?

The metallic gold finish can appear differently depending on lighting conditions. While generally vibrant, the actual shade may vary slightly in person compared to online images.

What material is used for the sole?

The outsole is made of durable rubber, designed to provide traction, while the midsole is typically made of two-tone foam for cushioning.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Consult the official Onitsuka Tiger size chart for accurate measurements. If possible, try on a pair before purchasing, or be prepared for potential returns or exchanges if ordering online.

Leather appears dry or scuffed

Apply a leather conditioner to moisturize and soften the material. For minor scuffs on the metallic finish, a specialized leather cleaner or polish might help, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Traction feels insufficient on wet surfaces

The rubber outsole offers good traction, but like most trainers, performance may be reduced on very wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.

Discoloration of the metallic gold finish

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Clean gently with a damp cloth. For significant issues, professional leather care might be necessary.

Care:

To maintain the premium look of the leather, it is recommended to:

  1. Wipe Clean: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away surface dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Leather Conditioner: Periodically apply a suitable leather conditioner to keep the material supple and prevent drying.
  3. Protection: Consider using a water and stain repellent spray suitable for leather, especially for the metallic finish, to protect against the elements.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box to prevent dust and damage. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
