Onitsuka Tiger will release its new Street Fighter inspired trainers―made as part of its MEXICO 66 SD line―on July 27. To promote the trainers, manga author Masakazu Katsura designed an original Chun-Li key visual for the release.
As well as Katsura’s illustration, 10 other artists have also contributed their own original Chun-Li drawings, including Hikaru Chō. For a limited-time only while the shoes are available, these illustrations can be seen by heading into select branches of Onitsuka Tiger listed below.
MEXICO 66 SD: ¥18,000 Each (Before Tax)
The shoes come with a card bearing a unique product code which can be used in-game to give Chun-Li an original Onitsuka Tiger outfit as well as the MEXICO 66 SD shoes themselves.
Chun-Li aren’t going to want to miss out on this exclusive opportunity.

The Street Fighter series is celebrating its 35th anniversary in 2022. Fans are excited following the announcement that Street Fighter 6 will be coming sometime in 2023 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam! Along with an announcement trailer, characters for the upcoming title have been revealed. Fan favorites Ryu, Jack, and Chun-Li are back along with all eight original ‘World Warriors’ characters from Street Fighter II. A new character for the sixth installment, Jamie, has also been revealed! The game will be powered by Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, previously used to develop Devil May Cry 5, Monster Hunter Rise, and Resident Evil Village. Early footage of the game is extremely smooth, bringing the classic fighting game into a new generation. Fans will be able to engage with three distinct game modes: Fighting Ground, World Tour, and Battle Hub. The beginning of the newly-released trailer shows off the World Tour mode, taking place in sprawling Metro City. The game will feature an extensive single-player adventure mode. What kinds of experiences await?
Street Fighter 6 will introduce a new ‘Drive’ System, allowing players more free reign when it comes to experimenting with how best to use a particular character. Five different techniques can be used when the Drive Gauge is filled, and these can be used to enhance a player’s offensive or defensive options. Players can also engage an Overdrive Art similar to EX Special Moves from past titles. Fans will notice the TV show-like quality of the announcement trailer. Streamers will find this an incredibly enjoyable game to play while chatting with viewers, as Street Fighter 6 will include real-time in-game commentary with audio recorded by “well-known talent from the fighting game community.” Look for more Street Fighter 6 news coming soon! ©CAPCOM CO., LTD.
