ASICS: Sound Mind, Sound Body
In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which, when translated, expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

New Features

Re-engineered Asymmetrical Lacing Design

This new construction creates a more open toe environment, less material overlays for lighter weight, and a great fit with less potential irritation through the Asymmetrical Lacing System. The tongue features an added layer of memory foam to allow for a more form-fitted feel under the laces.

Stitch-less PHF(Personal Heel Fit) improves rearfoot fit and comfort.

Gender Specific Cushioning

Gender Specific Cushioning creates a distinctly unique ride by employing injected Solyte® rather than the standard molded midsole material. The advantage of the injection process is lighter weight and more consistent density in comparison to compression molded EVA. Not only does this help drop the weight of the midsole but the "dialed-in" density improves the forefoot road feel. And since the compression rate on women's models is generally much lower than men's, the injected cap on the women's shoe is softer, ensuring a great forefoot road feel.

Gender Specific Space Trusstic System®

The Space Trusstic System® creates an open space between the Trusstic System® device and the midsole to allow for the midsole to deform at a rate that the arch needs to provide more efficient foot function. Since a woman's arch alters shape as estrogen levels change, the Gender Specific Space Trusstic System® allows for greater midsole deformation on women's models. This environment allows the Space Trusstic System® to properly address these fluctuations and provide the needed midfoot support.
