ASICS = Sound mind, Sound body
ASICS have always believed that being active is healthy for the body and mind.
That is also the reasoning behind their brand name, ASICS, an acronym for the Latin expression ’Anima Sana In Corpore Sano’ which translated into English means: ’Sound Mind in a Sound Body’. A name and a story which today in a time where the world is facing a global pandemic has more significance than ever and provides an important message to spread around. And this is now also the reason why ASICS encourage all people to be active to improve their mental health.
Move your body and lift your mind
2021 is not just another year. Its a new beginning after 2020 which was a terrible year for everybody.
ASICS wants to inspire and help people believe that 2021 will be a step forward.
”Move Your Body, Uplift Your Mind” is the slogan of the campaign set to inspire as many as possible to find the mental advantages of doing sports and being active.
As the first step in the process starting January 2021, ASICS encourage everyone to join and support their mission of being active to improve their mental health.
