Here we go once again- October 2008’s Sneak of the Month is the Onitsuka Fencing LA (green/yellow).

Once again, Onitsuka Tiger impresses with the release of the Fencing LA. Worn by the Japanese fencing team in the 1984 Olympics (hosted in LA), this shoe is designed to move. With eye-catching colourways, it is also designed to be seen. Fans of more conservative shoes might like the white/silver or gold/black versions, but the green/yellow is a true Sneak Outta Left Field.

I particularly like the little touches with this shoe. The neon orange/red highlights woven into the shoe’s sides and label draw the eye, and the shape of the sole (with its cutouts) is certainly unique. The Fencing LA is a welcome addition to the usual Onitsuka lineup of Mexico 66 sneakers, and it has earned its spot as October’s Sneak of the Month.

August is a hot month, so it deserves a hot sneaker. Thankfully Onitsuka and Tokidoki agreed and brought us the Onitsuka Tiger Tokidoki Mex Lo.

This sneaker is busy in the best sense of the word. Every detail is carefully thought-out and presented. The basic color palette of white, black, and yellow is a perfect fit with the tiger theme. But don’t worry, the basic color palette doesn’t restrict Tokidoki’s colorful world. Tokidoki’s vibrant characters pop from all over the shoe. There are even faves like Adios on the shoe’s soles.

Grab this terrific collab before they are gone- they’ve been flying off the shelves.
