Versace has announced a new collaboration with Onitsuka Tiger, set to debut in its Spring/Summer 2026 collection.
This joint effort will marry Italian luxury design with Japanese sneaker heritage.
About the Collaboration
The key piece is Onitsuka Tiger’s iconic Tai-Chi sneaker.
Overall will be made at Onitsuka Tiger’s factory in San’in Tottori, Japan, but using “carefully selected” Italian materials.
Design accents include:
-
Double stitching on the Onitsuka stripe panels
-
Versace’s Medusa emblem in studded form on the tongue
-
A treated upper (washed or buffed) to give a vintage texture
However the goal is to fuse the two brands’ aesthetic codes while retaining authenticity on both sides.
Debut & Roll-Out
Thus the collaboration was unveiled during Versace’s Milan Fashion Week show, which also marked the debut of Dario Vitale as Versace’s new creative lead.
A total of eight variants will launch.
Therefore these will be available at select Versace flagship stores globally, and on Versace’s official website.
Significance & Context
This collaboration reflects a rising trend: high fashion partnering with sneaker heritage brands to create lines that blend luxury and streetwear appeal.
For Versace, it’s a bold move early in Vitale’s tenure, signaling that footwear and collaborative drops will be part of the new narrative.
