History

ASICS shoe company was formed by Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka when he began making basketball shoes in his living room in Japan in 1949. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase “Anima Sana In Corpore Sano”, which means of “A Sound Mind in a Sound Body.” His main goal was to promote total health and fitness.

ASICS were introduced to the United States in 1977 and brought with them an incredible story of athletic performance and technical superiority that still holds true to this day.
