Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:33, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Onitsuka → Onitsuka Tiger – Move to correct company name. "Onitsuka" in turn should redirect to Chihiro Onitsuka as primary topic, with a {{redirect}} hatnote for Onitsuka Tiger. TJRC (talk) 07:03, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

semisupport create a disambiguation page at Onitsuka instead. There is Tiger Onitsuka as well. 65.94.45.160 (talk) 06:50, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- (Comment from nom). I agree with 65.94.45.160. I was unaware of Tiger Onitsuka. As '160 points out, Onitsuka should be moved to Onitsuka Tiger, and then Onitsuka should be made a dab page, not a redirect to Chihiro Onitsuka. TJRC (talk) 20:26, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Special Edition Shoes[edit]

I heard that certain shoes are city specific, i.e. the black on yellow Uma Thurman wears in Kill Bill Vol. 1 are the Tokyo specific shoes (She's in Tokyo). When I lived in Japan you could get Tabi (two-toed) ones from Kyoto, or one styled as traditional Japanese sandals with special socks. I don't see the Kyoto ones on any websites except a reference to ONITABI MT which are not in the colours I bought in Kyoto.

If this is true does anyone know where I can find the city specific ones to buy?

Year for break and relaunch[edit]

The sources don't agree on when Onitsuka Tiger was relaunched. The official site and South China Morning Post say 2002. International Directory of Company Histories says 2004. Forbes says 2000, and Fashion Network, which details a more specific rollout, says "mid-'90s". What I was really searching for was when Onitsuka Tiger was "abandoned"—right when the company became Asics in 1977, or later—but that's unclear as well. 70.163.208.142 (talk) 13:32, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
