ASICS FOUNDING PRINCIPLE
ASICS was founded on the belief that movement uplifts your body and mind. It's in our name — 'Anima Sana In Corpore Sano', meaning 'a Sound Mind in a Sound Body'. We believe that running can take your body to incredible places. But where it takes your mind is even more magical.
Our founder, Kihachiro Onitsuka recognised that sport had the power to uplift people’s minds in post-war Japan. And so, he dedicated his life, and our company, to helping both individuals and societies improve their wellbeing through sport. More than 70 years on, we still believe this.
