Onitsuka Tiger California 78 EX - Beige/Grey - UK 8.5

The California 78 EX is designed primarily for casual wear and light activities. While comfortable for walking and everyday use, they may not offer the specialized support and cushioning required for intense running or athletic training.

Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear. Ensure there is a little room at the toe, and the heel does not slip excessively. The midfoot should feel snug but not tight.

No, machine washing is not recommended. It can damage the materials and construction of the trainers. Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap instead.

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or keeping them in a breathable shoe bag can help maintain their shape and protect them.

The California 78 EX is inspired by the original Onitsuka Tiger California model, bringing a classic retro design into the modern era with updated comfort features.

While this specific listing is for men's sizing (UK 8.5), the California 78 EX model is often available in unisex sizing. Please check the specific product details for available gender options and sizing.

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider wearing thicker socks.

Remove insoles and air out the shoes. Use a shoe deodorizer or baking soda to absorb odors. Clean the insoles if necessary.

This can occur with new, dark-colored footwear. It is often temporary. Washing socks separately initially may help. Ensure the shoes are fully dry before wearing.
