Although Onitsuka Tiger is now synonymous with the criss-crossing red and blue bands on its popular Mexico 66 shoe, not many know that the Onitsuka Tiger didn’t always have its stripes. While the company was founded in 1949, its now-iconic bands didn’t make their debut until nearly two decades later.
In celebration of the stripes’ 50th birthday, Onitsuka Tiger teamed up with Singapore-based personalities to showcase different interpretations of the Mexico 66.
