Newest Onitsuka Tiger

Here’s an interesting item found in one of the many small shops in the Ameyoko district near Ueno Station. It’s a glow-in-the-dark shoe featuring a Toyota 2000GT. We’re not sneaker freaks, but we tend to gravitate towards anything vintage and Japanese, and in recent years Japanese sneaker company Asics has been bringing back some of its very cool old school designs under the Onitsuka Tiger label.

A little research revealed that the Onitsuka Tiger shoes was a limited edition created as part the Electric Tiger Land campaign (the video in the link clearly shoes a 3-D 2000GT being rendered). It’s kind of cool that when they decided to come up with a stereotypically Japanese theme that includes skyscrapers,Outlet Converse All Star Double Zipper Red Sale [C, Super Sentai and subways, they chose the original Toyota supercar to represent the automotive side of things.

This campaign ended last year though, replaced in 2009 by a new campaign celebrating the company’s 60th anniversary (this video has a glimpse of a first-gen Honda Civic). But if you want the 2000GT shoe,black low top converse sneaker,mexico 66 lauta,Converse Skate evo outlet, it’s probably still there at the shop where this photo was taken.
