70 years is a long time for any industry, and Onitsuka Tiger just hit their milestone this year. As a celebratory gift to itself, the brand has called upon 7 designers to redesign its signature models, also as a homage to the brand as well as giving the designers a platform to reinterpret Onitsuka Tiger in their own ways.
After the success with CINOH, Shang Hai based designer Kim Kiroic is next in the list. Helming KKtP, the designer has chosen to rework the TIGER CORSAIR, a defining silhouette in the history of Onitsuka Tiger, and a pioneer in the jogging boom back in the 1970s. The redesign changes the usage of materials, replacing the leather with a translucent material that fuses classical design with a contemporary outlook. The original tri-color is retained throghout, with the track top and pants done up in the same theme.
Onitsuka Tiger brnding is present on the front while KKtP makes itself seen on the back, while the pants have side slits with snap studs that can be unfastened should one so desire.A translucent poncho in the same palette rounds up the entire collection.
The collection is available now at Onitsuka Tigers in KLCC and Midvalley.
