As we step into January 2018, we anticipate the debut of the new Mexico 66 SD, featuring innovations based on the Mexico 66. This new model emphasizes an improved performance and utility based on technology, a reflection of the brand philosophy which will impress their wearers.The Mexico 66 SD is similar to the Mexico 66 in terms of the thin sole, the Onitsuka Tiger stripe, and iconic heel flap. The Mexico 66 SD differentiates itself from the Mexico 66 by its build where it uses a new last for a slimmer, more modern silhouette. The sole has also been improved for better performance by combining multiple materials which aren’t obvious to the naked eye of consumers but is noticeable once put on feet.
The toe and heel sections are made of cushioning material called ‘fuzeGEL’, developed by the ASICS Institute of Sport Science. The Mexico 66 SD is built with improvised cushioning and resilience with precise placement of the gel along the midsole. We may expect better cushioning and fit with the addition of OrthoLite that offers excellent resilience in the insole. The rubber outsole promises better traction, assuring consumers regarding safety whenever they are facing wet surfaces. The upper consist of two materials, high-quality leather, and suede with more texture. The leather upper comes in Vaporous Grey and Yellow with single tones of Cream and Black. The suede upper model is available in Smoke Light Blue and Coral Cloud (launches in April), which are lighter shades for spring and summer to complement trendy spring and summer styles that begin with the feet up.
The Mexico 66 SD will be available from 12 January onwards at Onitsuka Tiger KLCC, Onitsuka Tiger Mid Valley, Onitsuka Tiger Sunway Pyramid and Onitsuka Tiger Gurney Plaza Penang, retailing at RM599.
