Deep dives
ASICS and the Power of Sports
ASICS was founded in 1949 with the mission to use sports as a means of uniting and uplifting individuals in the aftermath of war in Japan. The name itself, an acronym for 'Anima Sana in Corpore Sano,' translates to 'a sound mind in a sound body,' which encapsulates the company's focus on the mental and physical benefits of movement. An example highlighted was Jess from the Running Channel, who is committed to running 42 marathons in a year in memory of her brother, emphasizing the personal and emotional connections that can be fostered through running. This connection with ASICS underscores their commitment to comfort in running, aligning their products as enablers for runners to push beyond their limits and into their comfort zones.
