Onitsuka Tiger HL202 Mexico 66 “Kill Bill/Game Of Death” (0490)

Inspired by Bruce Lee’s jumpsuit in the classic ‘The Game of Death’, worn by Uma Thurman in ‘Kill Bill’ and now you can run around town killing Crazy 88’s and… OK, maybe not. But, you can own a pair of Onitsuka Tiger HL202’s that is now available on SHELTA.

The Onitsuka Tiger was first introduced in 1966 and was the first to bear the ‘Tiger Stripes’. This particular style was also worn in the 1968 Olympics held in Mexico. A yellow leather upper, suede on the toe rand and ‘Tiger’ branding on the tongue/ back heel tab not only makes for a flashy pair of sneakers, but also pays homage to the best martial artist of our time.

A full size run is currently available with a retail price of 97 EUR which is approx $135 USD. Via Sneakerfiles
