FAQs

What is the main difference between the Mexico 66 and Mexico 66 Vintage?

The Mexico 66 Vintage line often features materials and colorways inspired by the original 1966 release, aiming for a more authentic retro look and feel, sometimes with specific material treatments compared to the standard Mexico 66.

Are these shoes suitable for running?

No, the Mexico 66 Vintage is designed as a lifestyle and casual shoe. While inspired by running heritage, it does not provide the specialized cushioning, support, or performance features required for modern running.

How do I clean the black Tiger stripes?

Use a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Gently wipe the stripes, avoiding excessive rubbing to prevent color transfer or damage to the material.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 series, including vintage styles, is available in a wide range of colorways. The 'Birch Black' is one specific popular option.

What is the best way to store these trainers?

Store them in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original box or a shoe bag. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape and prevent creasing.

Is the 'Birch Black' colorway unisex?

Yes, the Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Vintage 'Birch Black' is designed as a unisex model, suitable for wear by anyone regardless of gender.

How durable is the leather upper?

The leather upper is generally durable for casual wear when properly cared for. Regular cleaning and conditioning will help maintain its condition and extend the shoe's lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear the shoes around the house with thin socks for a short period to allow them to mold to your feet. If they remain uncomfortable, consider trying a half-size larger.

Laces fraying or breaking

Replace with standard shoe laces of a similar length and material. You can often find replacements at shoe repair shops or online retailers.

Leather showing scuffs or scratches

For minor scuffs, try using a leather conditioner or a colored shoe cream matching the 'Birch' color. For deeper scratches, professional leather repair might be necessary.

Soles becoming slippery

Ensure the soles are clean. If the rubber has worn down significantly, it may be time to consult a cobbler for potential sole replacement or treatment.
