FAQs

Are the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 trainers suitable for running?

While the Mexico 66 draws inspiration from running shoes, they are primarily designed as lifestyle and casual wear. For intense or long-distance running, dedicated performance running shoes are recommended.

How should I clean the different materials on the shoe?

Use a damp cloth for the leather parts and a suede brush for the suede toecap. Avoid soaking the shoes or using abrasive cleaners.

Do these trainers run true to size?

Sizing can vary slightly. Many users find they fit true to size, but some suggest they might run a bit narrow. Checking reviews or trying them on if possible is recommended.

What does the 'Mexico 66' name refer to?

The '66' in Mexico 66 refers to the year the iconic Onitsuka Tiger stripes were first introduced on a running shoe. The 'Mexico' likely relates to the brand's participation in the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, these trainers are not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to protect the materials and maintain their appearance.

What is the main difference between the Mexico 66 and other Onitsuka Tiger models?

The Mexico 66 is distinguished by its thin sole, emphasis on the iconic Tiger stripes, and its direct heritage link to the 1960s designs, making it one of the brand's most recognized and classic silhouettes.

Are there other color options available?

Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 series is available in a wide variety of colorways, including variations of white, blue, red, and other combinations.

Troubleshooting

Leather appears scuffed or dirty.

Gently wipe the affected area with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a dedicated leather cleaner, testing on an inconspicuous area first.

Suede toecap looks matted or stained.

Use a suede brush to restore the nap. For stains, apply a suede-specific cleaner according to product instructions.

Sizing feels slightly tight or narrow.

Leather can stretch slightly over time with wear. Consider wearing them with thin socks initially. If the fit remains uncomfortable, consult the retailer for exchange options based on their policy.

Color transfer from stripes to white leather.

This is rare but can occur. Ensure the shoes are kept dry. If minor transfer occurs, gentle cleaning with a leather cleaner may help. Avoid prolonged contact with wet clothing.
