Asics

Asics shoes sounded their intent – use sports as a means to rehabilitate juveniles – for the very first time in Kobe, Japan, after World War II! Invention, imagination and innovation in technology, materials and designs have continuously been imbibed to leave indelible footprints on the sports shoes industry.

Asics' first footsteps were taken as Onitsuka Co. Ltd., aided by founder Kihachrio Onitsuk in 1949. Kihachrio had only one desire - to produce and market the best and the most comfortable shoes for sports. In 1977, Onitsuka merged with sportwear & goods manufacturer GTO Co. and sportswear brand JELENK Co. Ltd. to become ASICS Corp. Asics is the acronym for the Latin proverb, ‘anima sana in corpora sana’, which translates into ‘a sound mind in a sound body’. The thought that continues to echo in their innovative shoes, styled to give comfort.
