Here
is a brand new pair of Asics Onitsuka Tiger Badminton 68 casual
shoes (Style #D5B7Q 0136) in a women's size 10.5. Shoes are off white, pink, black, and grey in color. Onitsuka tiger, the forerunner of the lifestyle brand within asics,
is paying homage to its heritage by partnering with japanese Fabric
brand, makumo. Like onitsuka tiger, makumo is inspired by traditional
japanese culture and focuses on ensuring quality through craftsmanship.
Makumo is owned and mostly operated out of the home of Fabric designer,
miki fukuyama and her husband, chef tomo araki. Fukuyama designs and
araki hand prints all of their Fabrics within their atelier by the sea,
implementing her incredibly exclusive prints onto the finest japanese
loomed canvas from kurashiki. Given its exclusivity, the partnership
between onitsuka tiger and makumo is a first of it’s kind, as makumo’s
Fabrics have never been printed on shoes and onitsuka tiger has never
adapted home made Fabrics onto their products. Every makumo Fabric
design has a story. With the idea in mind that the power of fermentation
is inspiring and transformational, each may style is dressed in a
pattern resembling natto, a traditional fermented bean. As part of the
collection, the onitsuka tiger x makumo collection features the tora,
the japanese word for tiger, on the badminton 68 model. The tora Fabric
was manufactured (but still hand printed) at bamba dye house in kyoto,
japan. The dye house has a rich history spanning over 100 years.
Since 1949, Onitsuka Tiger has created stylish sports
products inspired by the Japanese values of craftsmanship and attention
to detail. Through their crafts, Onitsuka Tiger brings together East and
West, and demonstrates what it means to be "Made of Japan." Shoes are authentic Asics product unfortunately we no longer have the original box.
