Intergalactic Alliance: Onitsuka Tiger Celebrate 75th Anniversary with Supercharged Astro Boy Collection
are celebrating their 75th birthday in cosmic fashion, as the beloved label are blasting off to the stars with the legendary Astro Boy. Two icons both hailing from Japan, the star-hopping collection features a universe-expanding 43 items, including button-ups, bomber jackets, pants, sling bags and hats. But it’s on the footwear frontier that the rocket fuel really burns, with the and the Dentigre Puff Boot both receiving an intergalactic red remix.
For its part, the Mexico 66 SD has been functioning as a sartorial satellite in recent years, consistently beaming out influence to eager sneakerheads and Kill Bill stans. This time, the Mexico 66 SD is literally flaming, with a bold blaze on the lateral sides complementing retro Astro Boy typography on the medials. On the insoles, our fearless hero takes flight, while iconic Tiger branding blasts the heel tabs. If the flames are a little too hot to handle, Onitsuka Tiger are also offering a duo of more subdued colourways, with the grey and black renditions also alternating the graphics on both the lateral and medial sides.
Now, If you need something a little heavier for your outer space escapades, the Onitsuka Dentigre Puff Boots should no doubt suffice. The shiny new gear is equipped with Flytefoam cushioning and fuzeGEL in the heel for shock absorption, and the chunky design makes for a good stomper.
Other collection highlights include a trio of celestial socks (matching the colour palette of the aforementioned Mexico 66 SD), on-trend bucket hats, and the more formal button-up. We’re also big advocates for the space-age red tracksuit and black sling bag, both of which feature Astro Boy. If you really want to save the universe, you might also consider copping the bomber jacket, another stylistic linchpin for the streetwear industry in 2024.
The Onitsuka Tiger x Astro Boy collection will launch at the Onitsuka Tiger pop-up on January 16, 2024, Samaritaine Paris Pont-Neuf, and the event will run until February 14. A will follow on January 18 at the Melbourne Emporium, featuring DJ Marli.
