ASICS

ASICS – JAPANESE RUNNING TECHNOLOGY SINCE 1949

ASICS is a Japanese sports brand with roots back to 1949, starting under the name Onitsuka. Since then, it has evolved into one of the world's most recognized producers of running gear, driven by a clear philosophy: to create products that support the body in motion. The name ASICS is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," meaning "a healthy soul in a healthy body," which is the foundation for everything from material choice to construction and fit. Each product is developed to enhance the run from the first step to the last.

ASICS RUNNING SHOES – FROM DAILY TRAINING TO COMPETITION

ASICS' running shoe program is one of the market's broadest and most comprehensive. For daily mileage training and long distances, GEL-Cumulus is ASICS' classic neutral daily shoe, equipped with FF BLAST+ midsole and GEL cushioning in heel and forefoot for a soft and responsive stride. For runners with overpronation, GT-2000 is ASICS' best-selling stability shoe, offering medial support and control with LITETRUSS technology without compromising comfort. If you desire maximum cushioning and foam volume underfoot, GEL-Nimbus is ASICS' premium choice for runners with high weekly mileage and need for maximum shock absorption. For competition and fast intervals, ASICS Superblast is a lightweight and energy-responsive shoe with TPEE foam, designed to boost speed. In the terrain, ASICS delivers a complete series of trail shoes for forest, trail, and mountain terrain, including Gel-Trabuco, Gel-Sonoma, and Fuji Lite.

ASSEMBLE YOUR ASICS SETUP

The complete ASICS setup starts with the right running shoe and builds with technical clothing and gear that suits your training form and goals. Runners who want to closely track their progress often combine ASICS shoes with a sports watch , which records pace, distance, and heart rate in real-time during the run. For long distances, it's beneficial to supplement with running energy in the form of gels and bars, keeping energy levels up throughout the run. Our full selection of running accessories is available at RunningXpert, ready to complete your ASICS setup.
