FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The GSM is a lifestyle trainer inspired by vintage tennis shoes. It is not designed for distance running or high-impact athletic activities.
Are they true to size?
Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger GSM generally runs true to standard UK sizing for adults.
How do I maintain the white colour?
Wipe them down after use to prevent dirt from setting into the fabric, and use a shoe protector spray to create a barrier against stains.
What is the primary material?
The GSM features a combination of high-quality synthetic and leather materials depending on the specific release, designed for durability and a retro look.
Can I replace the insoles?
Yes, the insoles can typically be removed if you prefer to insert custom orthotics for added arch support.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or scuffs on the white exterior
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning solution or a soft, damp cloth to spot clean. A white eraser can also help remove minor scuffs on the rubber sole.
Tight fit after long wear
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly. If the fit remains restrictive, consider using a thinner sock to allow for more breathability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Onitsuka Tiger GSM trainers stay in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: While comfortable out of the box, wear them for short durations initially to allow the material to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the white and grey exterior. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals, which can damage the upper materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent premature fading or material degradation.
- Compatibility: These trainers are highly versatile and compatible with most casual attire, including slim-fit denim, joggers, or casual slacks.
