Onitsuka Tiger’s ULTI RS™ Series Is Built for the Next Generation of Cool
There’s a new player on the street—bold, technical, and unapologetically fashion-forward. Onitsuka Tiger, the Japanese brand with decades of legacy laced into its soles, just dropped the ULTI RS™ Series: a new breed of sneakers that blur the line between high fashion and performance wear. It’s not just a new silhouette—it’s a shift in tempo, designed for people who move differently, live harder, and expect more from what they wear.
Conceived in celebration of Onitsuka Tiger’s 100th anniversary, the ULTI RS™ Series isn’t here to blend in with fleeting trends. This is a rethink of what footwear should be in a world where you’re always half a step between IRL and URL. Think of it as a statement piece built to sprint—or strut.
Each shoe in the series is made for a hybrid kind of life, where “leisure” and “sport” aren’t competing ideas, but part of the same fluid motion. Whether you're pounding the pavement, escaping into nature, or just flexing hard at brunch, the ULTI RS™ shoes have you covered with solid grip, plush cushioning, and serious visual attitude.
Meet the Lineup: ULTI RS™ in Three Acts
The ULTI RS™ Series launches with three distinct designs:
TIGTRAIL™ (RM1,190) – Out now.
TIGRUN™ (RM1,150) – Dropping Fall 2025.
TIGCOURT™ (RM1,150) – Also arriving Fall 2025.
First up is the TIGTRAIL™ RS, a trail-running inspired model that goes just as hard in the city as it does off-road. Structurally, it’s packed with tech—an outsole built with diamond-pattern grip, FF BLAST™ midsole for lightweight cushioning, TRUSSTIC™ for support, and GEL™ tech in the heel for shock absorption. The half mono-sock upper fits snug and blocks debris, but the real flex? That layered mesh upper, subtly see-through, and the elevated detailing that makes it look just as at home in a gallery as on a hiking trail.
There’s a new logo exclusive to the ULTI RS™ Series too—sleek, minimal, and sporty enough to pass the vibe check, but refined enough to work with that monochrome fit you’ve been waiting to debut.
Off-Terrain, On-Point
To mark the launch, Onitsuka Tiger took over The Grey Box, GMBB and gave it a wild makeover. Think immersive showroom meets street-style jungle, complete with an off-terrain photo wall where guests got hands-on (and feet-in) with the ULTI RS™ shoes.
The highlight? A panel talk with five-time Olympian and former national diver, Datuk Leong Mun Yee. Sharing how the shoes have helped elevate her training lately, she added:
“The design is sleek, but what stands out most is the support and grip. It helps me feel grounded—even when I’m not in the pool.”
That’s the magic here. It’s performance gear that doesn’t scream about being performance gear. It looks good, feels better, and works hard without trying too hard.
ULTI RS™ is the future of functional fashion. Lace up.
