Onitsuka Tiger GSM Cream/Black (1183A353.127) — Sourced from Japan
Onitsuka Tiger GSM Cream/Black (1183A353.127), bought from Japan through Sakura Proxy. Photos, details, and how to request your own pair.
Here is a pair we recently sourced for a customer: the Onitsuka Tiger GSM in Cream/Black, model number 1183A353.127, bought from Japanese domestic retail and shipped overseas.
About the GSM
The GSM belongs to Onitsuka Tiger's classic line — a low-profile leather court trainer with the brand's signature stripes along the quarter panel and a slim rubber cupsole.
It stays a bestseller for good reasons. The silhouette is narrow and flat, so it works with tailored trousers as easily as with denim. The leather upper creases and warms with wear rather than cracking. And there is no loud branding anywhere — the stripes do all the talking.
If you have looked at the Mexico 66 and found it a little too thin underfoot, the GSM is the sturdier everyday alternative.

| Detail | Specification | | --- | --- | | Model | Onitsuka Tiger GSM | | Product code | 1183A353.127 | | Colorway | Cream / Black | | Upper | Leather | | Sole | Rubber cupsole | | Sourced in | Japan (domestic retail) |
The .127 at the end of the product code is the colorway identifier. When you are searching Japanese retail sites — or sending us a request — that full string is the most reliable way to pin down the exact pair rather than a similar cream-on-white release.
Cream with black stripes is a strong first Onitsuka Tiger. It reads as off-white in most light, so it is softer than a pure white sneaker and hides everyday scuffing far better.
Why buy Onitsuka Tiger from Japan
Onitsuka Tiger is an ASICS brand, headquartered in Kobe. Japanese domestic retail pricing on the classic line generally sits well below what the same model costs in Europe, North America or Oceania — and Japan gets colorways that are never distributed internationally, or that arrive much later in a reduced size run.
Smaller sizes are also far better stocked here than in Western markets, where they tend to sell out first.
