Onitsuka Tiger Tansu Sculpture

February 3, 2010Uncategorizedby Staff91 Views

Japanese sneaker brand Onitsuka Tiger has just completed a set of shoe sculptures, each of which represents different elements of Japanese culture. Created in a traditional workshop from carved wooden boxes and drawers, the latest piece from the series honors “Tansu,” the tradition of carpentry. Fans can head over to onitsukatiger.com to interact with the sculpture and discover stories, photos, films and more, which are contained within the boxes. Meanwhile the physical sculpture continues its tour around Onitsuka retailers, with the next stop being Offspring (within Selfridges), London.

    It’s not supposed to be cool. Onitsuka, and sneaker makers in general, are looking at design and art forms. To represent their shoe in a key skill of their culture they’re looking to honour past traditions and adapt them to create something new and unique.

    Onitsuka gets my thumbs up for doin this kind of stuff.
