Taking cues from the elegance of ballet footwear, Onitsuka Tiger’s Gymnarina sneaker introduces a graceful new silhouette to the brand’s repertoire. The slim design incorporates details from the iconic Mexico 66, from the heel flap to the signature Onitsuka Tiger stripes, blending sporty heritage with a feminine sensibility. The shoe comes with two lace options—flat laces finished with metal aglets or satin ribbons for a softer expression. Available in five colourways, ranging from vivid classics to shimmering metallic tones, the Gymnarina offers a fresh take on the everyday sneaker.
