Last week we reported on the Publish Brand x Onitsuka Tiger collab teaser. Now, the project has a price tag and release date, $120 and April 23, respectively.
According to PB, the Publish Brand x Onitsuka Tiger is a “hybrid runner chukka designed for the urban explorer” as well as a “deconstructed trail runner silhouette.” It will be available in two colorways, an earth-toned Olive that represents daylight and a dark, Navy, eclipse-colored rendition inspired by nightfall. Perforated toeboxes and details, along with tonal rope laces and subtle branding, complete the look of each pair.
All the information from Publish Brand is below, including their team-up with photography collective Team Cozy. Will you be copping either colorway of the Publish Brand x Onitsuka Tiger Colorado Eighty-Five MT Samsara? Sound off in the comments.

Progressive California clothiers Publish Brand and Onitsuka Tiger have come together to launch the Publish Brand x Onitsuka Tiger collaboration. Since 2010, Publish Brand has reinterpreted contemporary menswear through a conceptual lens to revive classic styles in a new light. Re-launched in 2002, Onitsuka Tiger elevates the worlds of lifestyle and performance with premium collections of shoes, apparel and accessories. This spring, both entities team up for a special project inspired by the modern-day traveling photographer.
Publish Brand x Onitsuka Tiger presents premium executions of the COLORADO EIGHTY-FIVE® MT SAMSARA™ model. With design roots that trace back to the 1980s, the heritage runner has been updated with a higher heel height, rugged outsole unit and suede upper materials.

To introduce Publish Brand x Onitsuka Tiger collaboration in an elevated presentation, Publish Brand and Onitsuka Tiger have partnered with global photography collective Team Cozy to produce a unique visual narrative.
