Onitsuka Tiger Ditches the Laces With the MEXICO 66 SABOT Mule

The Onitsuka Tiger MEXICO 66 SABOT is now available for purchase directly from Onitsuka Tiger. It retails for ¥16,500 JPY, which is about $103 USD.

The Onitsuka Tiger MEXICO 66 SABOT takes the iconic MEXICO 66 shoe – originally a 1960s training shoe – and transforms it into a comfortable, modern clog.

These slip-on mules are designed for easy, everyday wear, especially in warmer weather. They don’t have laces, making them convenient to put on and take off. The upper is made from a special, textured mesh – a blend of natural and synthetic fibers – that lets your feet breathe. This open weave creates a unique look and feel, different from typical canvas shoes.

Okay, so these shoes are designed to look good with pretty much any style. They come in a ton of colors – I’m seeing stuff like Birch and Peacoat, Beige and Green, and even some brighter combos like Oatmeal and Habanero. What really stands out is the Onitsuka Tiger stripes – they’re really well-stitched onto the mesh, and there’s this smooth material layered over the sides that just makes the whole shoe look clean and gives it a nice shape around the middle.

Inside, these shoes offer a much more comfortable feel thanks to a premium OrthoLite® footbed. It provides excellent, long-lasting cushioning and helps absorb shock, making them ideal for wearing all day in the city. The sole is low-profile and flexible, keeping the shoe lightweight and agile, while still providing good grip on city streets.
