Onitsuka Tiger presented its Spring/Summer 2027 collection at Milan Fashion Week. The collection takes its inspiration from “ENERGY STATION,” a place where people gather, replenish their energy, and prepare to move toward their next destination. It is a place where travelers from every direction come together and where diverse people, cultures, and lifestyles intersect. Like a caravanserai, it brings together different identities and values, allowing new stories to unfold at their own pace and generating the energy to move forward.
Mobility is more than simply moving from one place to another. It is a dynamic process through which people, cultures, values, and identities meet, giving rise to new perspectives. Arriving at a destination creates new encounters, while departing leaves traces behind. The contrasts that emerge when different elements meet—and the tension and harmony between them—generate the energy that moves people toward the future.
“ENERGY STATION” also serves as a metaphor for Onitsuka Tiger as it steps into a new era. The collection reflects the brand’s intention to carry its heritage forward, infuse it with new energy, and move toward the next chapter.
The collection’s 49 looks can be described in one phrase as “the fusion of tailoring and sportswear.” Delicate materials are combined with utilitarian elements, creating a natural balance between elegance and an active spirit.
Tailored suits defined by contrasts in rich earth tones are paired with shirts featuring a smooth, silk-like touch, while tailored trousers are reinterpreted through modern proportions. The looks evoke the image of a sophisticated, urban couple. Pink and pale blue shirts are accented with charming ribbons and styled with leather motorcycle-inspired miniskirts influenced by the 1960s, highlighting a distinctly feminine sensibility.
Elements of sportswear appear throughout the collection. Relaxed canvas work jackets are layered over tops and styled with wide, double-layered wool shorts inspired by Muay Thai. Floral-print tops with ribbon details are paired with wide-leg denim featuring two side stripes, recalling the iconic “TIGER PAW” preserved in the brand’s archives.
The collection explores the aesthetics of grunge through empire-line minidresses crafted from devoré velvet and lavishly embellished with silk fringe. Relaxed low-rise trousers are layered with leather jackets, vests, hoodies, and tank tops, with fringe details appearing throughout.
Western influences are expressed through ribbon-detailed miniskirts and lightweight dresses finished with silk fringe.
Menswear likewise expresses the collection’s philosophy of contrast. Signature yellow knitted T-shirts are paired with checked shorts, while multi-pocket waistcoats are styled with classically shaped trousers and the newly introduced mule version of the “MEXICO X66.” Refined tracksuits bring a sporty mood to the collection, while leather jackets with zip details evoke a distinctly rock-inspired spirit.
