## Description

Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81 Men's Black Classic Running Shoe -5.5 M US : desertcart.in: Shoes & Handbags

Review: This is my 2nd Onitsuka and as always, it doesn't disappoint. It runs a bit big so I got half a size smaller. I love the subtle playfulness of the design. I can't help but smile every time I wear it. Superb workmanship. It is made of nylon so it's lighter than my other onitsuka. I wear sneakers to work everyday and not once did I complain about these babies. I'd definitely buy again if I have the chance.
Review: I love Onitsuka! I bought 3 pair while in Japan. This pair (print of TokiDoki) is subtle enough that I don't look ridiculous. They fit as expected.
