Japanese sports lifestyle brand Onitsuka Tiger and longtime partner TGWO have collaborated to create an exclusive TGWO shoe called the SILVER KNIGHT. It is a limited-edition version of the 1980s running model X-CALIBER. The name is a play on the word Excalibur, King Arthur’s magical sword.
This comfortable yet street-savvy sneaker features a unique design that pays homage to the stone gray, forest green, and burgundy colors of the TGWO antique storefront. The collaboration between TGWO and Onitsuka Tiger—two authentic sneaker icons—proves that passion and dedication pay off.
As the owners believe, “the good” will always prevail in the end.
The TGWO sneaker features a full 3M upper with structured mesh that shimmers like a knight’s chain mail.
Green stripes run along the outer side, while silver 3M tiger stripes stand out on the inner side.
A debossed TGWO logo on the lateral side is paired with a red debossed Onitsuka Tiger logo on the back.
A final unique feature is a single burgundy metal eyelet on each shoe.
This exquisite X-CALIBER features a suede-padded tongue and comes with three sets of laces in green, burgundy, and white 3M. All laces have “TGWO” written on the tips.
The left shoe features a green sockliner with a TGWO logo, while the right shoe features a red sockliner with an Onitsuka Tiger logo.
