ULTIMATE 81™ NM from the NIPPON MADE series, showcasing material expression through depth-rich dyeing.
Reconstructed from the high-spec "ULTIMATE" model introduced in 1981, this design retains signature details such as the wrapped-up toe shape and the cushioning hole at the heel of the midsole.
The entire shoe is dyed using colors carefully blended by artisans, allowing the soft texture of nylon, the depth of suede, and the refined sheen of smooth leather to stand out individually. The differences in the way each material absorbs color create a layered expression with depth. The Onitsuka Tiger Stripes, finished in tonal shades, add a subtle contrast and contribute to a calm, balanced look.
