the aisen range is an exclusive part of onitsuka tiger‘s spring / summer 2011 collection. its name is derived from the japanese words for ‘indigo’ (ai) and ‘dye’ (sen), optimally describing the new line of products which are made from natural materials, dip-dyed by hand in pigments extracted from indigo plants and manufactured according to traditional japanese methods.

tops, jackets, bags and shoes make up the line. jackets and bags will be made from 100 percent natural cotton dungaree fabric dip-dyed in indigo with a water-repellent finish, while tops will be made of a lightweight french terry with contrasting stitching. the aisen apparel will be released later this month.
