They very well may be, Asics use that kind of design on the side quite frequently from what I've seen. I've got a pair, super comfortable, but with the gel sole trying to drive in them was rough for the first week. I can heel-toe no problem even in slip-on dress shoes, and the Asics were a bitch to get used to. I love them now, but the first week was rough while the sole wore in.

I think Takumi's shoes in Fifth Stage are Asics Onitsuka Tiger Mexico 66 Black.

They look like an Adidas but with only 2 strips, maybe someone else can find a closer shoe to whats shown?

They're super comfy, but yeah, not cool in the car for a week or two initially.

I honestly haven't found anything I can't heel-toe my car in though, but I can't say I've ever tried barefoot. I blame the pedal layout for said unwarranted global success.

Yeah, I want something quiet breathable too, the Nike's I wear right now just get really hot on my feet.

New Balance is a company that makes new sneakers ever year, whatever model Takumi & Bunta wore in the 90's, it's out of production in both the international & Japanese markets.

They continually remake shoes that look like their classic sneakers, so chances of finding a pair that looks like Takumi or Bunta's shoes is actually pretty good.

However, we'd have to personally ask Shigeno what the inspiration for their shoes was to know exactly what model sneaker it was. sweatingbullets.gif

ummm juz wanted to know y almost every character in initial d wears a new balance shoe.. does new balance really make great racing shoes? or are they sponsors of initial d? or mayb new balance sneakers are popular in japan? i cant help but notice since im kinda a shoe fanatic.. ermm2.gif whistling.gif

I know this is old, but actually New Balance is pretty popular in Japan! Even they have official stores unlike other countries who New Balance is considered low quality brand.

At the end of the day is a trend...

I'm impressed by u guys... able to notice the type of shoes the characters wear... Sneakers seem to be a better option coz they portray a "street racer" image... hellodear.in
