Onitsuka Tiger Shoes Are Making Street Style Trendy Again

Onitsuka Tiger Shoes

Since the beginning of the year, I've heard a lot of buzz around the Onitsuka Tiger sneakers. The Japanese brand originated in 1949 in an effort to make the perfect shoe for athleticism, but they're making a major comeback in metropolitan streetwear style lately. In 2002, the iconic shoe reappeared in Europe in a more fashionable context rather than for sport. Today, you can spot these sneakers all around the world, becoming widely popular for their comfort and timeless look that can go with anything. There are quite literally hundreds of styles and models to choose from, so here are some of my favorite models of this exciting "It Girl" shoe.

Silver / Off White Women Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Shoes

I've seen these sweet silver sneakers all over my Instagram explore page, and TBH I never realized how easy it would be to style silver shoes before now. They look so effortlessly cool with baggy jeans or a maxi skirt, and they can add a little flare to any boring outfit! These are in the Mexico 66 style, which is the most popular design by far due to its retro '60s look that never seems to go out of style. There are endless color combos for this shoe, but this silver pair is by far my favorite and can truly make any outfit fabulous.

Peacoat / White Women Onitsuka Tiger Limber-Up Nm Shoes

This bowling shoe-esque style of sneaker has always fascinated me. In my experience, I've found them to be very comfortable and provide good support for my feet. The padded heel here even provides additional support if you are flat-footed. Basically, these are the kind of shoes I would trust to walk at least five miles in, and look fabulous doing it. This model is based on the original Onitsuka sneaker, so if you're a fan of the retro look, this is a super cool option.

Pine Green / Cream Women Onitsuka Tiger Mexico Delegation Shoes

One can never go wrong with a vintage style suede shoe. They perfectly compliment any daytime outfit, and can even get the dress up treatment for certain evening events! I am a big fan of classy street style — it's a great way to be cool and comfortable at the same time — and these shoes are a great example of that.

Midnight / Dragon Fruit Women Onitsuka Tiger Serrano Shoes

If you Google "style and practicality," you'll probably see a picture of this pair of Onitsuka sneakers. The Serrano was originally designed as a track and field shoe, so if you're looking for a walkable pair of sneakers, these bad boys are perfect. They are designed to be lightweight, flexible, and cushioned to ensure that your foot will get the support and comfort that they deserve. I would highly recommend looking into a pair of Serrano's if you need shoes with a little extra support, but still want to look super fashionable!

Onitsuka Tiger

Mantle Green / White Women Onitsuka Tiger EDR 78 Shoes

This shoes is described as being "an instant hit with runners and business people alike," and i could not have said it better myself. The EDR 78 sneakers were designed for train running, so they're made with a lot of arch support and cushion to ensure that your feet won't feel the effects of a more rugged surface. However, that doesn't mean that you can't also casually sport these shoes on the streets of NYC with a pair of jeans and a baggy t-shirt. The duality of this shoe just blows me away — and hey, if you need to pack light on vacation, you have an everyday shoe and a running shoe all in one!

Onitsuka Tiger

Birch / Cream Women Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Paraty Shoes

This sneaker might not perform as well as the other sportier options, but I just love a fuzzy shoe, especially in the winter time. This design is just all about comfort — inside and out — so if you're looking for the ultimate walking experience, I would consider getting a pair of these Paraty shoes. These could really compliment any look, whether you're going out to dinner in the mountains, or running down to the bodega to get a midnight snack in your sweats. I would like to call these: an elevated slipper.

9 “Gross” Cooking Habits You May Not Realize You’re Making

Everyone has their own unique way of doing things in the kitchen, but some habits are certainly more cringe-worthy than you might think – especially ones that may be considered gross, unhygienic, or unsafe. There are quite a few cooking missteps that could put you and others at risk, or simply make ‘em squeamish. If you’ve ever wondered whether your cooking habits are flawless or low-key gross, it’s time for a quick reality check.

Scroll on for 8 “gross” cooking habits to avoid in the kitchen to retain a clean, safe space to enjoy your most favorite meals!

Burst / PEXELS

1. Not washing your hands before handling food.

Your hands touch all sorts of things throughout the day, all of which carry tons of bacteria and germs you may not even realize are there. If you don’t wash your hands before cooking, you risk transferring dirt, bacteria, and even viruses onto your food, increasing the chances of contamination and foodborne illnesses.

Vanessa Loring / PEXELS

2. Handling raw meat and then immediately touching other ingredients or surfaces.

Raw meat – especially poultry and seafood – carries bacteria like Salmonella and E. coli. If you touch the raw meat you're cooking with and then handle various vegetables, seasonings, or kitchen surfaces without washing your hands, you could spread harmful bacteria, leading to dangerous cross-contamination and potential food poisoning.

Dapur Melodi / PEXELS

3. Licking your fingers and continuing to cook.

Licking your fingers while cooking might seem harmless (especially if you’re just cooking for yourself or one other person), but it can introduce bacteria from your mouth onto the food and other kitchen surfaces. This is especially unhygienic if you're cooking for others, as it spreads germs and increases the risk of contamination!

Kaboompics / PEXELS

4. Not washing your produce properly.

Nowadays, fruits and vegetables can carry pesticides, dirt, and bacteria from the handling, shipping, and storage processes. If you don’t rinse them thoroughly before eating or cooking ‘em, you risk ingesting harmful chemicals or bacteria like Listeria. Yikes.

Kristina Snowasp / PEXELS

5. Using the same knife + cutting board for raw meat and other foods without washing.

When you cut up raw meat and then immediately use the same knife or cutting board for the rest of the ingredients in your meals, you can totally transfer bacteria. This is especially important to avoid for items that may not be cooked further! It’s simply essential to wash your utensils and tools between uses or use separate ones for raw meat and other foods.

Juan Pablo Serrano / PEXELS

6. Using the same spoon for stirring and tasting.

Dipping a spoon into food, tasting it (even if it’s quick!), and then putting it back in the pot can potentially transfer bacteria from your mouth to the entire dish. This is wildly unsanitary when you’re cooking for a group, as it introduces germs or bacteria that others may not be immune to. The best practice here is to use a separate spoon for tasting or wash it briefly before using it again.

Mojca J / PEXELS

7. Sneezing or coughing near your food.

When you sneeze or cough, tiny droplets of bacteria or viruses can land on everything around your kitchen: food, utensils, and cooking surfaces. If you don’t cover your mouth properly or sneeze directly over food, you risk contaminating the meal, which is both unsanitary (and unappetizing) for anyone eating it.

PNW Production / PEXELS

8. Using the same towel for drying your hands, wiping surfaces, and drying dishes.

It’s crazy how quickly kitchen towels can become breeding grounds for bacteria when they’re used for multiple tasks. If you use the same towel to dry your hands, clean up spills, and dry dishes, you risk spreading germs from raw food particles or dirty hands onto clean surfaces and dishes, making it an easy way to spread bacteria… unknowingly.

RDNE Stock Project / PEXELS

9. Letting your pets near cooking surfaces.

Pets, no matter how clean they seem, carry bacteria, dirt, and even fur with them that can easily contaminate food and kitchen surfaces. Allowing them on countertops or near food prep areas (looking at you, kitties!) increases the risk of spreading germs, especially since pets can’t wash their paws after using the litter box or walking outside.
