FAQs

What is the primary inspiration for the Mexico 66 design?

The Mexico 66 design is inspired by the footwear worn by athletes in the 1968 Olympic Games, offering a classic retro aesthetic.

What materials are used in the construction of the Mexico 66?

The trainers feature a leather upper combined with suede paneling for a premium look and feel.

Are these trainers suitable for running or high-impact sports?

While inspired by athletic heritage, the Mexico 66 is best suited for casual wear, walking, and light activities. They are not designed for high-impact sports.

How should I clean the leather and suede parts of the shoe?

Use a damp cloth for the leather and a suede brush for the suede. Specialized cleaners are recommended for tougher stains. Always air dry.

Does the sizing run true to size?

It is recommended to check the specific sizing chart provided by Onitsuka Tiger, as retro-style trainers can sometimes fit differently than modern athletic shoes.

What is the main benefit of the two-tone rubber sole?

The two-tone rubber sole provides classic traction with its rubber tread and contributes to the shoe's distinctive retro appearance.

Can I wear these trainers in wet weather?

While the leather offers some protection, it is not fully waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain, and using a protective spray can help with light moisture.

Troubleshooting

Tight fit or discomfort

Ensure you have selected the correct UK size. If still tight, consider wearing them with thicker socks around the house for a few hours to allow the leather to mold to your foot. Professional shoe stretchers can also be used by a cobbler.

Suede becoming matted or dirty

Use a suede brush to gently restore the nap. For stains, apply a suede cleaner sparingly and blot gently. Avoid using water directly on suede.

Leather losing its sheen

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner or polish suitable for the shoe's color. Buff with a soft cloth to restore shine.

Sole becoming slippery

Clean the rubber sole with soap and water to remove any dirt or debris that might be reducing grip. For persistent issues, consider a sole repair shop for potential treatment.
