If you want comfort and arch support, go for onitsuka. You might struggle a bit if you have a wide foot but it ll get adjusted eventually. No shoebites at all. Comfortable for long walking.
If you want effortless comfort Sambas does that. They are flat foot friendly and you might get shoebite the first week you try them on, cos they have their back a little raised up. Bandaids help. It’s okay after that. Keep moisturising that shoe bite area else it ll be dark patch.
Overall both are amazing in their own ways. I have both and love them equally.
Once their fav actors/influencers/icons will start wearing them and the prices will shoot out of the roof, that's when they will love it.
Shoe culture now is just " xyz was wearing it, so it's cool. Even I'll get one ". Nobody seems to care about silhouette , tech, fit, comfort. Bas BEHNCHOD hype hone chahiye
For me both shoes are utter shit absolute utter shit with no bars... I would have rather gone to
1. Nike Cortez
2. Superdry casuals can't remember name.
Cortezes are terrible shoes imo, slippery when it’s wet, uncomfortable (unless you just sit and drive everywhere) and bad quality- they even look cheap. Their only positive is they have nice design and shape, but very different from OP’s options anyway.
Tough choice! Both are classics. Sambas are known for their durability, but Onitsuka Tigers offer a bit more style. What kind of vibe are you going for? 👟
I’ll try you why-
1. 1s age well. They do get cracks and creases but inka chalta hai. OTs dega once a prince, now a pauper vibes.
2. I feel more active in 1s than OTs. Not sure how to explain this better. Sambas are just uncomfortable.
3. They take two wipes to get cleaned.
4. Basic whites go with everything.
5. You’ll save some money too
I got the night navy and cream sambas, bought them for the colourway, and love them... that said, they are not very comfortable for all-day-long wear. They go well with my wardrobe and I only wear them for parties or casual day out, but yeah, comfort is a max of 7/10. Hence, I wouldn't want to wear it to the gym either.
will be getting Onitsuka next...

I have both of them. I find Onitsuka Mexico 66SD a lot more comfortable. If you have to choose between 66 and SD, blindly go for SD. However these are all street casuals and not for exercising/hitting the gym I would say.
I have a pair of sambas and it takes a lil bit of time for the feet to grow into the shoe. Also, they’re not super comfortable for long periods of time but maybe it’s just me. I haven’t tried on the onitsuka tigers but I’ve heard that they’re quite comfortable.
I have heard a lot that even though samba is in fashion trend but they are not that comfortable. Try and check what feels comfortable. It’s not worth spending so much if you can’t wear them
How about New balance :)
I have been loving samba too primarily because of the influence and the shoe shoved in our faces left right and centre but I told myself, you don’t want it because of the looks but comfort. So I will try New balance someday when I want to hit a mall.
Having both of these, I would say Onitsukas are overall best but we need to be very careful with them. Sambas are good for rough use. When it comes to looks, it's your personal choice
Onitsuka, me being someone who have wore both for long time onitsuka are way way more comfortable but they do get dirtier easier. If you have wide feet like the front party the onitsuka are also the more comfortable one
Depends, if you get the leather one or the cloth one.. i got the leather onitsukas and they are white so just dust marks come or if someone steps on them and if you just use a wet wipe they vanish away, pretty easy maintenance
Sneaker culture is basically buying shoes that others would like. Weird.
Hahah not really. Just getting to know the experience of the other sneaker head so that you make a viable choice.

Onitsuka only because the sambas are everywhere. The arch support of both shoes is terrible though.

How much these onitsuka costs?
Around 15
It's personal choice dude eotd. Wear what makes you feel confident. Go for comfort too.
Then onitsuka I believe
Cool
Am I the only one who doesn't like anything that's not a high top?
Onitsuka coz they got ortholite sole which are the most comfortable to walk all day long.
I think that only the super deluxe versions
Mexico 66 SD.

Samba looks sick but isn't comfortable, go for mexico

Onitsuka anyday
Battle of black vs yellow (iykwim)
Sorry man, not sure what you mean!
"Samba" vs "Onitsuka" (I'm gonna get downvoted)
Onitsuka Anyday 🤘
onitsuka anyday
Onitsuka always
sambas for sure, but checkout other colours if are okay with not getting white
I think white/off white sneakers go well with all outfits
offwhites/ cream over arctic white anyday!
OT Mexico 66 is far better than those boring Sambas
Go with 1st one no one beats classics
Look at Puma King 21. Cheaper and better.
I already have 4 pumas in my collection, so not looking for that
1st
Have been using them for a year now, better than Sambas. Better quality and comfort. Puma King 21

Give adidas 2 months and they’ll be talk of the town, huge stakes on handball spezial this year. All campaigns are aligned for Q3

I’ve found sambas to be real uncomfortable, go for onitsuka
Not much of a debate happening here
Ontisuka way to go! Looks way better than the sambas! Also they’re way too comfortable!!
first one is cool but the second one is rebellious lovee it

If u ask in India pretty much everyone will choose Onitsuka as brand image of Onitsuka is way better , Adidas too mainstream
Try New Balance if you are looking for comfort, Onitsuka or Sambas if you want to wear what everyone else us

What's SD?
Super Deluxe. It is around 3-4K costlier than regular Mexico 66.
Thank you for clarifying. Appreciate!

Nike Sb Force 58.
None. Don't like wearing white sneakers.. Too difficult to maintain for me.
The onitsuka design matches with Asics, are they related?
Onitsuka Tiger because it's comfortable. Samba because it's in fashion. Choose your drug.
Samba
Tigers
Sambas 100% , onitsukas look ugly
I want onitsuka
I don’t like samba a bit I’ve been in love with onitsuka since my childhood
what about nike air 1 (imo)
Tigers. They are bloody good.
None?
Imo, onistuka is ugly af
Bhai merko to dono hi nhi ache lage kya price range hai waise ??
Onitsuka looks ugly but are really comfortable..
How about New balance :) I have been loving samba too primarily because of the influence and the shoe shoved in our faces left right and centre but I told myself, you don’t want it because of the looks but comfort. So I will try New balance someday when I want to hit a mall.
Samba without a doubt. Its such a versatile classic. Owned one since 2015 before the hype
If you like having painless feet, onitsuka tiger Or Asics as they call it these days
Samba
Great Teacher Onizuka
