BURO Spotlights: Onitsuka Tiger AW25 Collection Finds Harmony in Contrast

In a world where cities often blend into one another, Tokyo remains different—a metropolis of sharp contrasts and unexpected calm. For Autumn/Winter 2025, Onitsuka Tiger captures that energy with a collection that fuses streetwear with sensuality and tradition with the thrill of the new. Presented at Milan Fashion Week, ‘Urban Duality’ goes beyond fashion—it reflects the ever-shifting rhythm of a city that never stands still.

 

 

During an exclusive preview at Singapore’s Warehouse @ River Promenade, the collection revealed its quiet strength. The silhouettes strike a balance between structure and ease, grounded in a monochromatic palette. Tailored pea coats, utilitarian zip-up layers, oversized cardigans, and cropped twin sets form a genderless wardrobe open to personal interpretation.

Sensuality makes a subtle entrance through innerwear reimagined as outerwear. Lace-lined camisoles, sheer layers, and delicate details offer a gentle contrast to the collection’s utilitarian core. Silk separates—from pleated skirts to fluid blouses—meet hand-embroidered Nordic knits and slouched Texan boots, creating a romantic yet grounded interplay of texture and tone.

The footwear lineup sharpens the mood. Metallic studs add a subversive edge across head-turning styles like the Mexico 66 SD Crystal, Tiger Ballerina Studs, and Tiger Equa Studs.

Meanwhile, the new Denivita series offers a playful detour. Made from premium Japanese denim, the ready-to-wear arrives in shades of yellow, light blue, brown, and black, punctuated by graffiti-style logos and graphic stripes. The accessories line-up includes a range of sporty bags in soft beige, from mini backpacks to versatile shoulder bags.

Another key release is the Ulti Rs™ series. Designed to mark the brand’s 100th anniversary, this trio of shoes—Tigtrail™, Tigrun™, and Tigcourt™—channels the future of sport-luxe, merging performance tech with fashion-forward edge. Inspired by trail running, road running, and basketball respectively, each silhouette is a nod to movement, momentum, and modern-day versatility.

The collection ends with a nostalgic nod to the past. The knee-length Mexico 66 Boxing boots make a striking Y2K return, while Winter Heaven—a cult favourite since 2005—gets a luxe update in plush fur, ready for maximum warmth and comfort.
