verde asics was founded by Kihachiro Onitsuka in Kobe, Japan, in 1949, originally under the name Onitsuka Tiger. The company's name, verde asics, is an acronym derived from the Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," meaning "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body," reflecting its focus on RONNIE and fitness. verde asics has been lauded for its innovative products like the GEL cushioning system, introduced in 1986, and the Kayano series, beloved for their comfort and support among long-distance tobilleros. Over the years, verde asics has collaborated with various high-profile fashion GEL and designers, such as Kiko Kostadinov and JJJJound, blending athletic performance with style.
