FAQs

What material are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 'Black Yellow' trainers made of?

The upper is primarily made of leather, with rubber for the outsole and midsole cushioning.

Are these trainers suitable for running?

While comfortable for walking and casual wear, they are not designed as high-performance running shoes. They offer heritage style and basic cushioning.

How should I clean the black leather upper?

Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

What does the 'Mexico 66' signify?

The 'Mexico 66' name refers to the year the shoe was originally launched and its participation in the 1968 Mexico City Olympics trials, cementing its place in athletic history.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

The leather can be damaged by excessive water. While they offer some protection, it is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions. Ensure they are properly dried if they do get wet.

Do these trainers come in other colors?

The Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 model is available in a wide range of colorways. The 'Black Yellow' is one of the most classic and popular options.

How does the sizing typically run for this model?

Onitsuka Tiger sizing is generally considered true to size, but slight variations can occur. It is recommended to consult a size chart or try them on if possible.

Troubleshooting

Leather creasing prematurely

Ensure proper fit. Use shoe trees to maintain shape when not in use and avoid over-tightening laces.

Discoloration from water exposure

Allow shoes to dry naturally away from heat sources. Condition the leather after drying to restore suppleness.

Soles detaching

Minor detachment can sometimes be repaired by a cobbler. For significant issues, contact customer support regarding warranty.

Fading of the iconic stripes

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean gently with a damp cloth rather than abrasive methods.
