Review: desertcart Retro Look for a Retro Price! - Love these shoes from the moment I set my eyes on them and I was lucky enough to grab them at a special sale price of only $32 here on desertcart. They fit exactly as I expected them to and even had a slight arch support, which was a pleasant surprise. I love their look and feel. Sometimes with shoes like this, the fit can feel a bit loose and the shoe will feel like it's coming off my heel as I walk, but not with these. These fit snug and are true to size. I have wide feet and these are not so narrow that they hurt my feet after being out all day, which happen with many Nike shoes that tend to be fairly narrow. The style, color, etc are beautiful and I love the retro look. I'm actually looking to buy these same model shoes in other colors. If you're looking for a great casual shoe that feels great and fit true to size, look no further. Get these and you won't be sorry. Review: Great shoes, will serve me for years to come. - [1 year update] Still using these as my "daily drivers" and they are holding up well. The insole is glued in which has proven to be a bit annoying as it makes them more difficult to wash and doesn't allow me to switch to custom insoles. By this point the shoes have gone through the wash maybe 10 times and are still doing great. Bought these almost a year ago. Really comfortable, just what I needed. They are a bit on the tighter side which is perfect if you need them to stay on without shifting. The soles are super grippy and it's great that the toes have rubber as well. They can take a beating, but take good care of them. Wash properly and keep them protected when storing. The rubber may start pewling back around the toes, just clean it out with a toothbrush and mild soapy water and glue it back on with some shoe goo ## Features - Made in USA or Imported - Rubber sole ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07DX3PQKY | | Best Sellers Rank | #5,661,596 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ( See Top 100 in Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry ) #32,174 in Men's Fashion Sneakers | | Brand | Onitsuka Tiger | | Closure Type | Lace-Up | | Closure type | Lace-Up | | Color | Midnight Blue/Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,714 Reviews | | Heel Type | Medium Heel | | Import Designation | Made in USA or Imported | | Insole Material | Mesh | | Item Weight | 4 pounds | | Manufacturer | Onitsuka Tiger | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1183A059.400 | | Material Fabric | Mesh | | Model Name | Ultimate 81 | | Occasion Lifestyle | Casual | | Origin | Made in USA or Imported | | Outer Material | Mesh, Synthetic | | Outer material | Mesh | | Pattern | solid | | Shoe Height Map | Low Top | | Sole Material | Rubber | | Sole material | Rubber | | Special Features | Cushioned | | Style Name | Ultimate 81® | | Style Number | 1183A059.400 | | Subject Character | Barbie | | Toe Style | Closed Toe | | UPC | 191497550397 | ## Images ![Onitsuka Tiger Ultimate 81 Classic Running Shoe - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vS1AGhvEL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazon Retro Look for a Retro Price! *by M***L on November 1, 2014* Love these shoes from the moment I set my eyes on them and I was lucky enough to grab them at a special sale price of only $32 here on Amazon.

They look great and feel amazing. The lifespan is about average compared to other sneakers I've owned. As is typical the soles wear away eventually and in the mesh style (of any brand sneaker) my big toe usually works a hole in the material. Onitsuka is no better or worse in that regard. What I LOVE about the feel of the shoes is the weight. So light they're almost weightless you feel it as soon as you put them on. The other thing you'll feel immediately is the ground. This is an important point because some people might not like that fact but I love it. I feel connected to the ground almost as if I'm barefoot (but with more protection from sharp things). I live in NYC and walk on a lot of pavement so you would think the thin sole would bother me but actually I find my feet feeling great after a long day of walking around. Maybe this is that whole principle of a thinner shoes making your foot muscles stronger - I don't know - I just know that I like the way it feels. Oh and the look of these shoes is sick (ie. incredible). I put in the yellow laces (that come with the shoe) and they look great! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/89747179-onitsuka-tiger-ultimate-81-classic-running-shoe](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/89747179-onitsuka-tiger-ultimate-81-classic-running-shoe) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-09-14*
