asics shoes Men's Women's Kids' Sports ASICS ShoesThe first ASICS shoes were introduced in 1949 by Kihachiro Onitsuka in Kobe, Japan. Onitsuka founded the athletic footwear company Onitsuka Co. Ltd. by manufacturing basketball shoes in his living room. In 1977, he chose the name ASICS — an acronym derived from a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano" — which translates to "a sound mind in a sound body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, the range of sports shoes produced by ASICS widened to a variety of Olympic styles used by athletes worldwide. ASICS shoes were introduced to the United States in 1977 and were part of a wave that introduced athletic performance and technical advancements in shoes. In 1990, the ASICS research institute was opened. The institute is dedicated to testing and research and has sparked many innovations, particularly for running. Today, ASICS is known for building some of the finest shoes for running, training, track, cross country, volleyball, wrestling, cheerleading and more.
