As a track and cross country runner in high school, I have always enjoyed Asics shoes because they offer a great balance between being light-weight, but also offering a lot of support and cushioning. Asics Tigers (also known as “Onitsuka Tigers”), in particular are great for jogging, distance running, and sprints.
Asics Onitsuka Tigers come in different varieties, from casual sneakers to serious running shoes, but the one thing that unifies them is their unique retro look, that harkens back to athletic shoes of the past. Asics Tigers feature the iconic Asics swoosh, and come in retro colors and styles, that make them a fashion statement, in addition to being great to run in.
Asics Tiger sneakers are great shoes for those who want to sport the retro look, but don’t plan on doing too much running. Although these shoes are great for light jogging, they sacrifice some of their functionality for comfort and style. These shoes provide lots of padding, and are great kicks to wear to school and other casual venues.
For those looking for a more serious running shoe, the Asics Tiger Ultimate is probably the shoe you are looking for. Featuring the great look and support of Asics Tigers with a heavy soccer influence, but also designed with running first and foremost in mind, these shoes will have you tearing up the track with speed and style.
Asics Onitsuka Tigers are some of the most popular brand of shoes in Japan, and it’s no surprise that their popularity is growing worldwide. With the perfect combination of form, function, and comfort, Asics Tigers are some of the best running shoes around.

I like the colors of the last shoe on here. It’s loud enough to get attention, and have so many colors, I think it would go with my high school wardrobe.
Thanks for the comment! If colors are your thing, those are definitely the shoes to go for!
