About Asics

All Asics

Asics started in Kobe in 1949, when Kihachiro Onitsuka founded Onitsuka Shokai. The current name, taken from a Latin motto meaning a sound mind in a sound body, arrived with a 1977 merger. Asics India Private Limited was set up in Gurugram in 2012, and the brand opened its first company store in a south Delhi mall in 2015.
