A Short History of Onitsuka Tiger

[@EssenceYT]

Underrated series of shoes in America, the Corsair were like the OG Nike Cortez

[@losanctions6789]

Is that true that Nike was originally from Onitsuka and that’s why they have the same style Corsair and Cortez?

[@SQSwing]

@@losanctions6789 Onitsuka Tiger trainers were imported into the USA from Japan in the 60's by Phil Knight. Nike took the existing shoe and asked Onitsuka to modify it slightly and this became the Cortez (even the name was mutually agreed). It was originally an Onitsuka shoe. Tiger call their 'Cortez' the 'Corsair'.

​@@losanctions6789absolutely true

Cannot beat Onitsuka. Best ever.

[@F.haique]

Since Onitsuka stopped working with Nike in America, Nike makes its own shoes

Cool, only mistake is that Abebe Bikila wore PUMA

[@THECASUALco]

Actually he wore Onitsuka as well. In the pic he may have worn Puma but that info comes right off the Onitsuka site and a photo with Kihachiro and Abebe together trying on shoes.
