Description

The Onitsuka Tiger Serrano model has a minimalistic design inspired by the 1970s track spikes. It has a lightweight nylon upper and a thin rubber outsole, which incorporates octopus-inspired suction cups to mimic the grip and feel of classic track and field shoes. Additionally, the shoe is detailed with suede accents on the heel and toe cap, along with a padded tongue and collar for extreme comfort.

ID: Four images show the Onitsuka Tiger Serrano 'Oyster' in gray and light gray tones. Two images present a side-by-side view of the shoes, showcasing the Onitsuka Tiger logo and its laces. A third features the shoe's signature white stripes in a side profile view, positioned as if inside a shoebox. The final image is a bottom view, highlighting the black textured rubber outsole with suction-cup patterning.
