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