Asics Watches

In 1949 Kihachiro Onitsuka founded Onitsuka Co. Ltd. company in the city of Kobe (Japan). Onitsuka wanted to imply a healthy way of life among Japanese youth by means of sport. The Sports Research Studies Institute, situated in Kobe, is the heart of Asics company, which converts innovative developments into products with original design. Asics is a Japanese sportswear and sports footwear production corporation.
 Asics is “Anima Sana in Corpore Sano”, which means “a sound mind in a sound body” in Latin. The brand's founder considers, that sport has a great and invaluable influence on a person, both on its body's physical development and on its spiritual essence.
