Onitsuka Tiger's fall/winter 2021 collection

The fall/winter 2021 collection of apparel and accessories is inspired by the majestic nature of the towering Himalaya mountains in winter, and the trekking and hiking boom of the 1970s.

In a seasonal collaboration with Toyoki Adachi, designer and art director of textile graphic brand Nowartt, Onitsuka Tiger highlights and combines two contradictory concepts -- "vintage x art" and "analog (hand-drawn) x digital." These are used on classic tracksuits, down jackets and backpacks.

The new Onitsuka Tiger pop-up store at Xintiandi has a simple and modern design striving to create a visual mini-store ambient. Black and white keynotes run into specially-designed red light bars set on the floor. The strong contrast in colors and vision helps to depict the display area while a mirror zooms in on the products.
