Onitsuka Tiger California 78 EX Trainers - Blue/Cream

The ORTHOLITE™ sock liner provides enhanced, long-lasting cushioning and moisture management for improved comfort.

While inspired by running shoes, the California 78 EX is best suited for casual wear, everyday use, and light track running. For high-performance athletic training, consider specialized athletic footwear.

Refer to the sizing chart provided by the retailer or Onitsuka Tiger. This guide mentions UK 6.5 (EU 40.5) for a specific variant, but other sizes are available across the model line.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoes. Hand clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.

The 'EX' typically signifies an updated or enhanced version of the original model, incorporating modern design elements and technologies like the ORTHOLITE™ sock liner and the shark tooth sole.

The sole features a novel 'shark tooth' inspired pattern, drawing from the design elements of classic track running shoes.

You can explore other available colorways and sizes through the variant siblings listed, which indicate different color combinations and sizes offered for the California 78 EX series.

Ensure you are using the shoes for their intended purpose (casual wear, light track running) and avoid excessive friction or abrasive surfaces.

Verify you have the correct size. The ORTHOLITE™ sock liner provides cushioning, but a proper fit is essential for long-term comfort.

This can occasionally happen with new footwear, especially in darker colors. It's recommended to wear socks that match or complement the shoe color, or wash socks separately for the first few wears.
