Onitsuka Tiger Dreams of a Himalayan Winter for FW21 Collection
Introducing new footwear and apparel inspired by the hiking boom of the 1970s.
For its Autumn/Winter 2021 collection, Onitsuka Tiger continues to explore its heritage by fusing fashion and sports with innovation. Inspired by the majestic feeling of the Himalayas in the winter and the historical boom of hiking in the 1970s, this collection features styles and patterns to reflect those two concepts. Fans of the Japanese brand can discover the new apparel and footwear offerings for men and women before the AW 2021 collection releases later this year.
Driven by the brand’s specialty in functionality, the apparel of this collection introduces new aesthetic design details and textile graphics. Collaborating with Toyoki Adachi, the designer behind the textile brand nowartt, a unique pattern that merges analog and digital elements is used on the collection’s tracksuits, down jackets and backpacks. Other key items in the series include pieces made from a fleece material, which provides warmth during winter mountaineering, and a nylon series, which offers a range of neon colors with embroidery.
The footwear styles offered in Onitsuka Tiger’s AW21 collection also combine archival elements with contemporary designs and technology. To match the mountaineering ideas that drive the collection, the label is releasing the HMR PEAK TRAINER, a boot that’s an updated version of a trekking shoe introduced in 1966. The MOAGE CO & MOAGE MO shoe offers a more modern aesthetic on a classic design while the BIG LOGO TRAINER PUFFED includes the Onitsuka Tiger Stripes that extend to the outer sole.
For those looking forward to the colder months ahead, the AW21 collection will be on sale later this year in select Onitsuka Tiger stores and on the brand’s site.
