ASICS is a brand that has become synonymous with high-quality footwear and apparel. The company’s founder, Kihachiro Onitsuka, dedicated his life to creating shoes that would help athletes perform to the best of their abilities.
The name ASICS was chosen for a meaningful reason - it stands for ‘Anima Sana In Corpore Sano’, which translates to "a Sound Mind in a Sound Body”. It was originally inspired by the Latin phrase ‘Mens Sana in Corpore Sano’, but although ASICS replaced the word ‘Mens’ with ‘Anima’, the essence of the phrase remains the same. The ASICS name demonstrates that the company has always believed in the beneficial effects of exercising.
"Our purpose has always been to support people to play sports so that they feel better, both physically and mentally. And more than 70 years on, we believe that our focus on the mind and our role as a caregiver is more relevant today than ever before."
