Onitsuka Tiger unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 Collection at Milan Fashion Week.
The theme of this collection is Urban Fantasy. Fashion transcends mere garments; it serves as a powerful medium for self-expression. The instant we instinctively choose how and when to wear something evokes the moment of stepping out of the shade in an Asian metropolis and feeling the sun hit the skin. Inspired by the fleeting energy that flows between the urban landscape and the sun, Onitsuka Tiger creates a fashion fantasy which enables individual expression with various items.
Crinkled shirts, blouses, and dresses exude a vintage vibe; dresses imagined from bodysuits are layered over voluminous culottes to create unexpected asymmetries. Crisp fabric is used for the parka, combined with a striped knit tank top and shorts, as well as for the razor-sharp, cropped trucker jackets with ruffled waists. Meanwhile, the oversized biker jacket and mini biker-inspired skirts with zips are both made from leather. Suede shows up in varsity-style jackets paired with knee-length skirts cut into asymmetrical pleats. Neoprene and printed nylon reversible oversized sweatshirts, along with hoodies and quilted jackets featuring rose and daisy prints colored in an ‘80s pink palette, bring a floral flair to the collection.
The brand’s signature tracksuit also made an appearance, featuring slim track pants inspired by the Paw Project, launched in 1974 as athletic wear. These bottoms were styled with a lingerie-like top, a masculine blazer, and heels. Track tops were layered over slim-silhouette trenches and field jackets, elevating the ensemble into a statement of ultra-chic sophistication.
Tailored jackets made their official debut. In menswear, they were paired with vintage-style running shorts, adding an offbeat twist to the overall look. The lineup features jackets, either single- or double-breasted, wide trousers with a five-pocket-inspired cut, and a waistcoat. This vibrant mix of various colors and styles embodies a spirit of boldness.
For footwear, satin ballet-style shoes that reinterpret the MEXICO 66™, sneaker along with shoes transformed with leather fringe and tassels, made an appearance. Boots – either in a riding boot silhouette in suede leather, or trailing long, loose fringe – and sandals in soft suede also added to the look.
The new collection introduces the Tiger Tote, made from canvas and printed with graffiti or florals. Additionally, the rectangular KARATE Bag, crafted from soft leather, is available in two styles: smooth and studded. Also, a new eyewear line featuring sculptural metal optical frames and oversized sunglasses that capture the vibe of 60s style debuted.
On the runway, collaboration accessories with MIKIMOTO, Japan’s premier jeweler, were also showcased. The collection “PASSIONOIR” by MIKIMOTO, born from purebeauty and the power of mysterious black, features rare golden pearls (white south sea pearls), inspired by brand’s iconic color yellow. The golden pearls are distinctive baroque pearls, characterized by their brilliant golden hue. The necklace, made unique by the use of a chain treated with black rhodium and a diamond brand logo, further enhanced the look.
