Onitsuka Tiger’s lively Spring-Summer 2010 collection draws on fishing (Tsuri in Japanese) for inspiration, resulting in a fresh and functional range of apparel and nautical-inspired footwear. Making its debut is the Carrack, a sneaker with a removable tongue flap and deck shoe details that’s named after a fifteenth century sailing vessel. Also making an appearance is a Tiger Scoop canvas vulc hi-top, a pair of Ultimate 81s and the legendary Mexico 66. Look out for them at Tiger retailers in the coming months.
From the Press Release
Traditional Japanese fisherman’s suits and the gradient stripe pattern of the tuna fish are the inspiration behind the collection’s Katsuo stripes and checks, while a palette of navy, white, and yellow reflects the sport’s nautical backdrop.
The practical elements of fishing gear are significant characteristics behind the silhouettes, contours and detailing. Raglan sleeves, constructed collars, smocking, and pockets in a variety of shapes, sizes and positions play an integral part in fusing fun with functionality.
The nautical colour palette of the footwear collection complements the apparel collection effortlessly for that perfect finishing touch.
