Asics affiliate Onitsuka Tiger has collaborated with Berlin’s KoiKlub to create a very interesting collection of sneakers. The Big Koi “The Ancient Way” shoes are based on a varsity jacket, using materials such as leather, wool and chenille.
The heels of each shoe feature different characters and symbols. The right shoe features 02 (representing the year Koi Klub was established and the number of Koi Klub x Onitsuka collaborations). The left shoe features the Japanese symbol for the term Koi. Koi has as many as six different meanings, including “The Ancient Way.”
The three colorways of these shoes include red, black and grey. One thing I really like are the symbols printed all over the laces. My favorite colorway is definitely the grey. It mixes grey with a very nice shade of purple throughout the shoe.
There are only 550 pairs of each colorway availalbe worldwide. Right now you can get both the black and grey versions at
