The new ballerina-inspired silhouette is bringing the sneakerina trend to the Onitsuka Tiger universe. Designed with versatility in mind, the flat takes on the brand’s cult Mexico 66 silhouette and reimagines it into a ballet shoe.
The sneaker is crafted with leather and features a crossed heel construction, shirring elastic for a comfortable feet, a heel flap, a ballerina-style lacing system and the signature Onitsuka Tiger logo on the side. You can also customise the look of the Gymnarina, either wearing it with sneaker-style laces or satin ribbon laces to maximise the balletcore vibes. You can also completely remove the laces for a slip-on look. And because of its modifiable design, it’s super easy to style – you can wear it with everything from shorts and skirts to jeans and tailored pants.
The Onitsuka Tiger Gymnarina is available in five colourways: black, blue, red, silver and rose gold – all featuring the Onitsuka Tiger stripes in white. The shoe is available at onitsukatiger.com and Onitsuka Tiger stores.
