Step back into Olympic history with the Mexico Delegation. While the Mexico 66 is the brand's most famous silhouette, the Delegation is the actual faithful reproduction of the footwear worn by the Japanese Delegation during the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games. In this understated "Grey/White" (often called Grey Floss/Cream) colorway, the shoe offers a sophisticated, neutral take on a high-performance vintage classic.
Authentic 1968 Design: A meticulous reinterpretation of the original parade shoe, preserving the structural details and vintage athletic spirit from over 50 years ago.
Premium Suede Construction: Features a high-quality Grey Floss suede upper that provides a rich, soft texture and a "matured" look compared to standard leather models.
Iconic "MEXICO" Branding: Distinguished by the bold "MEXICO" mark emblazoned on the side of the shoe—a unique identifier specific to the Delegation model.
Track-Inspired Details: Includes a unique sockliner graphic inspired by an athletics track, paying direct homage to the shoe's Olympic track and field roots.
Modern Comfort Engineering: Equipped with Onitsuka Tiger's proprietary soft insoles that provide firm heel support and all-day comfort for urban use.
Supple Lightweight Sole: Sits on a flexible rubber outsole designed for a lightweight feel and reliable grip on city surfaces.
