ASICS WALKING

— a philosophy that has taken ASICS from performance sports to daily life.
From one moment to the next, walking moves us forward. It’s an expression of purpose, a catalyst for a sound mind and body.
We are here to help people look and feel their best, so that they can live well and go further.

OUR STORIES

The Path We Walked to Get Here.

It was 1976. Something caught the eye of ASICS founder Kihachiro Onitsuka. At the opening ceremony of an international sports tournament, the Japanese team marched in wearing blazers and sneakers. That precise moment is when ASICS’ history begins. “I want to create shoes that look good worn with blazers.” “I want shoes that can protect the feet in any situation.” Even today, the brand ASICS WALKING continues marching onward in step with that sudden bold idea and ardent devotion to fully examining and understanding the feet.

TECHNOLOGY

Technology That Supports Walking.

ASICS’ walking shoes may appear like ordinary dress shoes at first glance, but they are powered by vast amounts of technology. One of the most well-known examples is ASICS’ GELTM technology in the shoe’s heel area that absorbs significant impact when striking the ground. Featuring sponge materials with cushioning and responsiveness as well as special abrasion-resistant rubber, these shoes have been intentionally designed to provide comfort and support for daily walking. ASICS has also devoted many years to researching movement, such as how people walk, at the ASICS Institute of Sport Science. Researching human motion dynamics in all kinds of situations as well as exercise physiology, we are constantly pursuing and developing technically advanced shoes.

CRAFTMANSHIP

ASICS Excellence at Your Feet.

The leather undergoes a rigorous selection process, each individual part is handled with meticulous care, and assembly is completed precisely by hand with a discerning eye. ASICS brings together a wealth of knowledge from existing sports categories and expert craftsmanship to create reliable high quality. This ultimately creates precise, beautiful parts. The always-reliable shoe-making abilities of our skilled artisans, another technical strength fostered by ASICS, also creates trust in our brand.
