FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running marathons?
The Onitsuka Tiger Runspark trainers are designed for everyday wear, city commuting, and light activities. They are not engineered for the specific demands of marathon running, which requires specialized cushioning and support.
How do I find the correct size?
We recommend measuring your foot length from heel to toe and comparing it with the Onitsuka Tiger sizing chart available on their official website or from reputable retailers. Pay attention to UK, EU, and US sizing conversions.
Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?
While the soles offer some slip resistance, these trainers are not waterproof. We advise avoiding them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and ensure comfort. Consider a waterproofing spray for added protection.
What is the release date of this model?
The Onitsuka Tiger Runspark trainers, including this Black and Gold colorway, were released in Spring 2020.
Is this a genuine Onitsuka Tiger product?
Yes, this product is guaranteed to be 100% original and genuine, sourced directly or through authorized channels.
How should I clean the gold accents?
Gently wipe the gold accents with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or cleaning solutions that could damage the finish.
What material is the upper made of?
The specific upper material can vary by production batch but typically includes a combination of synthetic leather and textile for durability and comfort. Refer to product tags for precise material composition.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Refer to the Onitsuka Tiger size chart and ensure your foot measurements are accurate. Consider trying them on in-store if possible, or consult customer reviews for fit advice.
Soles feel slippery initially
New shoes can sometimes have a slightly slick sole. This typically improves with wear as the sole adapts to surfaces. Gentle use on varied textures can help expedite this.
Discoloration of material
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh chemicals. Clean with appropriate mild cleaners for the material type. For light colors, use a specialized cleaner or eraser for scuffs.
Creasing on the upper
Some creasing is natural with wear, especially in leather or synthetic materials. To minimize deep creases, ensure proper fit and consider using shoe trees when storing.
