What do you get when a boundary-pushing Italian luxury house and a Japanese footwear label known for its vintage-inflicted sneakers drop a collab? Kicks that are made for the street style. Debuted on the men's Fall/Winter 2020 runway, and available this month, Onitsuka Tiger's iconic Mexico 66 SD sneaker gets a Pierpaolo Piccioli makeover. Here's what to expect: Valentino-esque, bold, bright colours – neon orange, yellow, pink, white and a traditional blue, white and red version a la the original Mexico 66 with tone-on-tone matching laces.
If you're all about that logo life, the shoe also boasts a hand-printed Valentino 'V' on its leather exterior, as well as an exclusive Onitsuka Tiger x Valentino co-branded logo on its tongue. The shoes technicalities are kept simple yet effective with a cushioned midsole for comfort as well as a resistant outersole that ensures durability and slip-prevention.
As of press time, no information is available regarding price and location – but watch this space to get your hands on these ultra-slick kicks.
