Formerly introduced in the 1950s the original Monte Creace shoe has made a comeback. The unique design of the heel back counter was originally designed to protect the Achilles tendon. The modern twist to the midsole gives it a rugged trail hiking feel and the Monte Creace keeps its quirky lacing construction but retains its slip on feature. Its unique Japanese design language with a contemporary lightweight midsole is recognizable as an Onitsuka heritage shoe with a modern twist.
