Is Onitsuka Tiger Cheaper in Japan?

Short answer

Japan’s official price is verified; an exact Japan-vs-US saving is not. The MEXICO 66 style 1183C102.001 is ¥16,500 tax included in Japan as of Sep 2, 2026. We could not verify a current official US price for the same SKU reliably enough to calculate a percentage.

An exact-SKU Ireland official price of €160.00 is shown as overseas context, but no FX-based saving is claimed.

US result: A current official US price for the same exact SKU could not be verified reliably.

Ireland reference: The exact SKU is verified, but no savings figure is calculated because FX and tax treatment are intentionally not normalized.

MEXICO 66 in Japan

One exact product, not the whole range.

The selected example is the unisex MEXICO 66 in BLACK/WHITE, style 1183C102.001, with a smooth cow-leather upper. Onitsuka Tiger Japan displayed a tax-inclusive price of ¥16,500 when verified.

Other MEXICO 66 variants on the official Japan lineup have different prices. This evidence does not mean every MEXICO 66 costs ¥16,500.
