A major player in the world of running since 1949, Japanese footwear label Asics takes its name from a Latin phrase which translates to a ‘healthy soul in a healthy body’. Starting out with their original high-top basketball shoes and eventually producing marathon-worthy trainers for Olympians, Asics sneakers have become a go-to option around the globe for workouts and weekends alike. Featuring the brand’s signature Mexico stripes—an allusion to the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City—and an unmatched technical quality, Asics offers a wide range of running shoes ideal for both casual enthusiasts and professional athletes.
