“Onitsuka Tiger” Brand’s Kansai Flagship StoreMoves to New Location
2013.09.13 PRESS
ASICS has decided to move its “Onitsuka Tiger” brand store “Onitsuka Tiger Kobe” from the Former Foreign Settlement of Kobe to Sannomiya Center Street.
The new “Onitsuka Tiger Kobe” will be located in the downtown area very close to Kobe’s Sannomiya Station, a lively place packed with men and women of all ages regardless of whether it’s a weekday or a weekend.
“Onitsuka Tiger Kobe” will be the new Kansai flagship store conveying the unique “Onitsuka Tiger” image that mixes vintage and future images and Eastern and Western images based on the concept of “any time and any places,” the same image presented by the Kanto flagship store, “Onitsuka Tiger Omotesando.”
With this new opening, a limited 100 pairs of the reissued NIPPON MADE will be sold exclusively only at “Onitsuka Tiger Kobe.”
We have positioned this new flagship store as a place to collection information regarding future stores and product development in addition to improving “Onitsuka Tiger” brand awareness and increasing sales in the Kinki region.
