The exciting collaboration marks a novel beginning for both players. It’s the first time Onitsuka Tiger joins forces with a luxury fashion house, while it’s also the first time Givenchy has opted to work with an external sneaker manufacturer for a global campaign.

The new Givenchy X Onitsuka Tiger collaboration utilises the silhouette of Onitsuka Tiger’s iconic Mexico 66 heritage style. The drop offers two limited edition sneakers.

Just in case you forget which collaboration these kicks are from, both models feature the inscription “Givenchy – Onitsuka Tiger” on the back tab.

The Givenchy X Onitsuka Tiger shoes retail for RM2,800.00 and are available for purchase online here.
