On July 3, 2019, Onitsuka Tiger celebrated the brand’s 70th anniversary by announcing a special collaboration with seven designers who are highly popular both in Japan and abroad. This fifth collaboration is with Kathleen Hanhee Kye, creator of the globally popular Korean brand ” KYE “. Since launching her collection in London in 2011, Hanhee Kye has been highly popular and has been selected as a semi-finalist for the LVMH Prize, which is a gateway to success for young designers, and is an up-and-coming designer with a proven record of achievement. This collaboration includes sneakers, a track jacket, and pants that incorporate the innovative designs that Kathleen Hanhee Kye is known for.

The collaborative sneakers feature bold, contrasting bi-color uppers!

The base model is Onitsuka Tiger’s classic “GSM™️,” inspired by vintage tennis shoes and named after the initials of the words “Game, Set, Match. The sneakers feature a bold bi-color design of black and white to evoke night and day, a zipper on the instep that links to the wearer’s clothing, and white stitching on a black background.

This tracksuit is designed with the wish that the wearer will “shine like a star.

The set-up wear items feature designs that strongly reflect Key’s wish that “the people who wear this collection will shine like stars. The track jackets feature a motif of stars shining in the night sky on the front, and the pants on the back, creating a big impact. Red and white lines on the sides add a sporty touch. The jacket’s zipper features a pull tab with the Onitsuka Tiger logo engraved on KYE’s original charm. Like the sneakers, this is a special piece of clothing, so why not take this opportunity to check it out?
