Onitsuka Tiger launched the collaboration shoes with VERSACE today, which were unveiled at VERSACE spring/summer 2026 collection presentation in Milan last September.
The collaboration model is inspired by the Onitsuka Tiger’s archive model, TAI-CHI. Crafted at Onitsuka Innovative Factory located in Tottori prefecture in the Sanin region, it utilizes carefully selected Italian materials. Notable features include double stitch on the Onitsuka Tiger Stripes and Versace’s enduring Medusa symbol in studded embellishments on the tongue. The upper is treated with a washing process or buffing to achieve a vintage texture. The line-up includes loafers crafted in Italy as well and these special models embody a meticulous design realized through the fusion of Italian and Japanese craftsmanship.
The items are available at selected VERSACE stores worldwide as well as on VERSACE official online store.
■VERSACE
Founded by Gianni Versace in 1978, Versace is built on the principle of freedom — empowering fearless self-expression through every touchpoint, from fashion, interiors, fragrance, hospitality and more. Its fierce spirit of independence and progressivism fuels its relationships with the world's most influential figures, positioning Versace at the heart of culture. To own and wear Versace is to embrace a life without inhibition, without prejudice, accepting of deeply human truths and contradictions: a desire for classicism and innovative Italian artisanship, strength and sensuality, quietude and the volume raised to max. It is a luxury Italian vision with deeply Mediterranean values, committed to uncompromising quality in its designs for a complete life. Throughout, the House wields the codes of luxury and classicism to ignite a daring new path, under the creative direction of Chief Creative Officer Dario Vitale.
