He really totally MIA d? Cause long time never heard of his news d...

It's too late. I'm already almost back in Malaysia, now stuck in Korea
I guess a 3 day trip to NY is never gonna be enough. I'll go there again some day

Oh yea I suggest you just google map 'onitsuka in NY'. Tho it isn't really accurate but still, it gives you a few results and you can check it out in store.

Awww that's too bad, yea 3 days trip is not enough lol, which places have you been??

alright thanks for the suggestion, will try my luck next month, then i'll pm you if i happen to find one shop ahaha.

Yeah, update me. I covered almost all the famous places from Central Park and below. Have you found a shelter yet? Check out this website. It's awesome.

And get a map! GPS works great but sometimes when you're surrounded with all those shiny metal tall buildings it will disappoint you.
Get one at any subway station, and learn how to read it of course

nah that's not necessary, i have cousin in queens hahahah, they took care of me last time, and they will probably bring me around when i'm there next month, planning to go philadelphia or boston though.

OT is a very comfortable shoes

@arold88 : Yes. But occasionally, I find it rather slippery on certain surface.

yup..esspecially on tiles...wet tiles i mean...hehehe

thats what we pay 300+ for. for some ppl mayb 400+ 500+ or even 600+ haha

how's ultimate 81? as comfortable as mex 66 or better? what's the price for a pair of ultimate 81 in malaysia?

if im not mistaken the price for ultimate is 399. i guess the comfortableness is about the same.

Stadium KLCC has started selling Onitsuka Tiger. But the choices are very limited at the moment. Hopefully, they start bringing in more near future.

oh isit. its been ages since my last visit to KLCC. mayb going duing klcc pc fair.

off topic
when is it the kl pc fair?...

i love OT.hehehe...BTT

more comfy i would say. especially on the sole, which is slightly thicker than mexicos too.

so generally yeah, these are the strong points of the ultimate 81 that i'll consider to be more comfortable than mexico 66s.

mm... i m gonna get one then. but is it as slippery as mex 66? haha..

if not mistaken, the ultimate 81 was inspired by the suction cups of the octopus' tentacles when mr onitsuka was dining in a sushi restaurant (dunno if i read the book correctly)
anyway (theoretically), the suction cups were claimed to provide more grip, just like the tentacles of the octopus. so i'd assume it to be more "grippy" than mexico but whether will it lose its grip on wet floor or not i don't know. haven't try it myself. someone care to volunteer?

how about coolidge?

haha. it's just from my personal experience after so many years buying and working with ot.

for the lautas, it's just the materials used and designs differ a bit. so i wouldn't say it affects much on comfort when comparing to their basic (core line) counterparts.
