tokidoki’s collaboration with Onitsuka Tiger continues in 2009! They recently did a preview in the US and the upcoming tokidoki + Onitsuka Tiger collection looks fad with a combination of sneakers and slip-ons for the gals. Here are some sneak peeks we managed to find whilst trawling through the Internet:

For the ladies slip-ons, they all have the cute ribbon detail on the back, rubbery sole with inlay printing as well as tokidoki graphics on the inside. But each design features a different theme - black/pink is more punk rocker whereas the pink one has a sweet floral theme.

As for the sneakers, this time round tokidoki has continued with the normal style sneaker (no hi-cut versions) in different colour combinations as well as material. I personally like the version that’s covered in greyish brown suede (with the white tokidoki + Onitsuka Tiger icon on the back!) followed very closely by the classic white with blue and red stripes version. From the design, it seems like tokidoki was very influenced by the recent Olympics - the side featured a tokidoki Tiger holding a torch and running.

After ogling at these photos, we can’t wait for the tokidoki + Onitsuka shoes to be released here in Asia next year!

Today I came home to discover that I had won a pair of TokiDoki x Onitsuka Tiger ‘72 boots from a contest I had entered! I am one of only thirty other winners, and its a great surprise because tomorrow is my birthday, too!

Once again, congratulations to all who won! Keep spreading the tokidoki love!

Fellow tokidoki lover Katrina wrote in to tell us that she has won the gorgeous pair of tokidoki + Onitsuka Tiger Snow Heaven 72 boots we mentioned previously. Congratulations!! Here’s what she had to say:

I won a pair of shoes signed by Simone himself. They are ridiculously cute, but are too big for me. I am a size 7 or 7.5 in the Tokidoki for Onitsuka shoes… and these are a pair 9. I won by answering some simple questions (luckily one of the answers included Kill Bill, my favorite movie). I didn’t even think I had a chance of winning… but when I got home from school there was a box on my doorstep. Lucky me, I won the shoes just in time for my birthday tomorrow! I haven’t decided if I’m going to wear them or not… but I am so happy to win! I love Tokidoki!

She has also kindly sent us a couple of photos to share with everyone:

Woot! Congratulations to Katrina and happy belated birthday!

Following up on our post a couple of days ago on the much-anticipated tokidoki + STRANGEco release of the tokidoki Tiger (it’s the tokidoki + Onitsuka Tiger brought to “vinyl” life!), Tokidokizens managed to get a sneak peek at the Tiger on display now at the Taipei Toy Festival via TOYSREVIL!
