For Filipino fashion enthusiasts, the highly anticipated collaboration between Onitsuka Tiger and New York’s cutting-edge fashion brand VAQUERA brings a refreshing mix of heritage and modern rebellion this 2025 Spring/Summer Paris fashion week.

The runway featured a total of 8 looks in two color variations: silver/off-white and yellow/black. The looks with unique silhouette and various material combinations brings out the unique coloring and vintage mood of MEXICO 66, while proposing new possibilities for styling.
The fusion of VAQUERA’s daring designs with Onitsuka Tiger’s craftmanship promises to offer a unique styling experience, perfect for the appreciation of those in the Philippines who love to embrace both vintage and contemporary fashion trends.
