A fashion staple reborn, the Onitsuka Tiger MEXICO 66&trade; CHUNK is the latest must-have sneaker merging iconic heritage with modern flair. This 2025 update stays true to the original MEXICO 66&trade;&rsquo;s silhouette while adding a chunky, platform sole that elevates both your look and your literal height. Crafted with durable leather, the sneaker features hand-stitched-like Onitsuka Tiger stripes for a visual pop, Y-shape grooves for flexibility, and a rubber sponge outsole for all-day cushioning. With its clean lines and versatile design, it's a perfect addition for those who seek both comfort and style in their daily uniform.

But how do you style such a standout sneaker? We turned to three fashion insiders &mdash; model Jach Manere, model and influencer Jessica Yang, and beauty and style maven Stephanie Dods &mdash; for their takes on integrating the MEXICO 66&trade; CHUNK into their signature wardrobes. Here's how they wear it&mdash;and how you can too.

Jach Manere: &ldquo;Comfort with an Edge&rdquo;

Model Jach Manere is all about movement and mood-driven fashion. "My personal style shapeshifts with me all the time," she shares. "I like to be edgy, boyish at times, but still sexy." For Jach, the MEXICO 66&trade; CHUNK checks every box. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s so comfortable and it still gives me shape. With the right styling, it&rsquo;s a really good fit.&rdquo;

Her go-to look? Effortless cool with a twist. Think oversized outerwear paired with denim jorts and a statement tee. The chunky silhouette of the sneaker grounds her playful aesthetic while adding height &mdash; a major plus for her long walks through the city. &ldquo;I like to walk a lot... I just feel the vibe,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;That&rsquo;s why I need comfortable shoes like these.&rdquo;
For Jach, style is personal. &ldquo;What makes someone stylish is when they show personality through their outfit. Fashion fades, but style lasts forever.&rdquo;

Stephanie Dods: &ldquo;Polished, Clean, and Elevated&rdquo;

Beauty and style influencer Stephanie Dods is known for her polished, pared-down aesthetic &mdash; one that prioritizes clean silhouettes and classic basics. &ldquo;I&rsquo;d describe my style as very clean and polished,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;I do like to experiment with different trends and colors depending on my mood, but overall, I like to look as cohesive and put-together as possible.&rdquo;

Stephanie pairs her white MEXICO 66&trade; CHUNK sneakers with straight-cut denim &mdash; her wardrobe essential. &ldquo;I love a white sneaker. These have a little bit of a platform, which I love because I like to feel a little taller sometimes.&rdquo;
Her formula is simple: jeans, a white tee, and a sharp blazer. The sneaker adds an element of relaxed sophistication, making it easy to shift from errands to meetings to brunch. &ldquo;Even to look effortless takes a little bit of effort,&rdquo; she notes. &ldquo;When someone&rsquo;s authenticity is clear in what they wear, it shows.&rdquo;

Jessica Yang: &ldquo;Elegant Baddie with a Twist&rdquo;

Model and content creator Jessica Yang infuses her wardrobe with a dose of irreverence. &ldquo;Think elegant baddie,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;I love mixing boyish pieces with something sexy.&rdquo; In her look with the MEXICO 66&trade; CHUNK, she plays with proportions and layering &mdash; a double polo, a cardigan reimagined as a skirt.

For Jessica, fashion is about transformation. &ldquo;I feel like that&rsquo;s what fashion is about. It&rsquo;s how you play with the element and make it yours,&rdquo; she explains. &ldquo;The MEXICO 66&trade; CHUNK adds so much character. With the platform, it just really elevates the full look.&rdquo;
Whether she&rsquo;s in tailored trousers or reworked basics, Jessica makes a statement. &ldquo;Everybody can dress up, but it&rsquo;s how you walk into the room. That&rsquo;s what makes someone stylish.&rdquo;

From edgy cool-girl to polished minimalist to playful avant-gardist, the Onitsuka Tiger MEXICO 66&trade; CHUNK is the ultimate canvas for personal expression. Whether you&rsquo;re styling it up with a blazer or down with athleisure, these sneakers are built to walk &mdash; and turn heads while doing it.
The MEXICO 66&trade; CHUNK is available at Onitsuka Tiger stores in Metro Manila, including SM Mall of Asia, Greenbelt 5, Glorietta 5, Shangri-La Plaza, SM Megamall, Two Parkade, SM Aura, and Ayala Malls Manila Bay. Ready to elevate your style game? Then cop this new sneaker now.
