Onitsuka Tiger’s Sole-Ful Statement Is the Duck Tiger

  • By Asha Farisha


Onitsuka Tiger introduces the Duck Tiger, a shoe the elevates the quirk of fashion imagery to dynamic visual and metaphorical proportions.

Fashion has always understood the act of imbuing an object, a location, or even a person with a touch of the peculiar as the key to unlocking its true potential. A unique quirk elevates the ordinary, transforming it into something altogether more captivating. For Onitsuka Tiger’s latest footwear line — the Duck Tiger — the reference takes flight right at the very feet.


To be precise, it is in the sole. The upper references clean lines of classic canvas shoes, while the sole takes the form of a duck’s beak. For a brand synonymous with the power of the tiger, it is a delightfully unexpected detour in offering a humorous juxtaposition.


The vivid yellow outsole pops against the monochromatic upper, accentuating the duck silhouette for an unmistakable visual punch. Thus, a new creative icon is born and Onitsuka Tiger rightfully claims ownership.
