Bruce Lee and Onitsuka Tiger are practically synonymous, so it makes sense that West Coast-based BAIT has teamed up with the Japanese footwear brand to give us a collaboration in honor of what would be Lee’s 75th birthday celebration. Utilizing the Onitsuka Tiger Coarsair, the colorway is inspired by the philosophy and martial arts technique of Bruce Lee. A luxurious black suede and premium navy leather hits the upper nodding at the classic Kung Fu uniform that Lee wore. The Corsair’s low-top construction is rather similar to the slip-on design that Bruce wore in many of his films. A signature Bruce Lee “kickman” logo is embroidered on the tongue and heel in a premium gold shade to further the cause. Preview images also showcase the BAIT x Bruce Lee x Onitsuka Tiger Colorado “Legend” in the background featuring that classic yellow and black design too. You have to enter a raffle in order to win the chance to purchase a pair. Winners will be contacted by BAITme.com beginning Tuesday, November 24th and will then ship out on November 30th. The Corsair is priced at $120, the Colorado is $160. Enter the raffle here.
