I was introduced to this brand only recently...and I never notice Uma Thurman wore a pair during Kill Bill movie. In Singapore, there are a couple of shops selling this Japanese cult sports label : Limited Edt (Queensway & Hereen) & Star Three Sixty (Wheellock Place & Paragon). I believe the current productions are from Vietnam factory.
The brand was founded in 1949 by Mr Kihachiro Onitsuka in his native city of Kobe and garnered a strong following among trendy Japanese youths and style icons including Twiggy and Bianca Jagger. In Singapore, there are literally many different designs to choose from and the price normally retail at S$169-ish per pair.
Model : THL7G1 - Mexico 66 - Lauta Series
Why I like it : Brown Color with Tiger Strips as background. Also, it features thin leather-like shoe laces.
Wearability: I wore this pair for around 4 hours of shopping at Orchard Road today and it is surprisingly comfortable. It has an arched insole which provides some relief from the other-wise flat sole. I am wearing Size 10 US
