Asics Release Dates

Asics was founded in 1949 by Kihachiro Onitsuka, who began by producing basketball shoes. The name Asics is an acronym for the Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," meaning "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Asics is well-known for its advanced technology, such as the GEL technology that helps to absorb shock and provide a comfortable ride, and its commitment to sports and fitness. Asics has a wide range of products for running, walking, tennis, and other sports, as well as clothing and accessories for both men and women. Asics is now a global brand with a presence in over 90 countries, and continues to innovate and improve its products to meet the needs of athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

Asics has a wide range of popular models, including the Gel-Kayano, Gel-Nimbus, and Gel-Cumulus. The Gel-Kayano, first introduced in 1993, is a high-performance running shoe that features Asics' signature GEL cushioning technology and a durable, supportive design. The Gel-Nimbus (2000) is a popular neutral running shoe that offers a cushioned and responsive ride. The Gel-Cumulus (1999), is a popular everyday running shoe that offers a great balance of cushioning and stability.

While Asics is known for its running shoes, it has began catching on among fashion enthusiasts for its comfort and collaborations with brands like JJJJound, Kith, Andersson Bell, amongst others.
