Onitsuk_a Tiger Mexico Delegation Black White Mens 1968 Olympic Heritage D-1997

Onitsuka Tiger Mexico Delegation - Black/White

The 1968 Olympic Legacy

The Mexico Delegation is a premium faithful recreation of the original delegation shoe worn by the Japanese team during the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games Parade. While the Mexico 66 is the most famous silhouette, the Delegation is the connoisseur?s choice. This Black/White edition features a slightly thicker sole and a more substantial build than the 66, offering a robust, vintage athletic look that bridges the gap between a track shoe and a modern lifestyle sneaker.
 

Key Features

Sizing & Care Tip

Fit Note: The Mexico Delegation has a slightly wider fit than the standard Mexico 66, making it more comfortable for men with broader feet. You can generally stay True to Size (TTS).

Care: Since the upper is primarily black suede, it can attract dust. Use a specialized suede eraser or a dry soft-bristled brush to maintain the nap of the fabric. Avoid water as it may cause the black dye to bleed into the white leather stripes.
