For many wrestlers, the more simple, classic and old school the style of wrestling shoes are, the better. Worldwide Sport Supply (or wwsport.com) offers an exclusive wrestling shoe throwback of the Onitsuka Tiger Wrestling 81, reissued by ASICS as The Gable wrestling shoes, sometimes referred to by wrestlers as "Dan Gable Wrestling Shoes", "Gables" or "Wrestling 81s".
These old school wrestling shoes are the choice of many elite wrestlers, and are often seen on the wrestling mat during high-level wrestling championships. Every year, wwsport.com polls wrestlers and wrestling coaches to determine the most popular colors of these wrestling shoes. The colors that get the most votes are produced.
In 2011, those seeking Black wrestling shoes, Blue wrestling shoes, or Red wrestling shoes will all have a version of The Gable wrestling shoes to select. Typically, pre-orders for these wrestling shoes are taken in the months leading up to their release in early Fall.
