Thanks! We'll notify you as soon as we add new styles for ASICS.
ASICS® was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote sports. In fact, ASICS is an acronym from the famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano," which translates, "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Originating in Kobe, Japan over fifty years ago, ASICS shoes and ASICS clothing were introduced to the United States in 1977. Throughout the years and running beyond today, the ASICS philosophy imparts an incredible story of athletic performance and technical advancements.

ASICS shoes, apparel and bags are produced in a wide assortment to meet the needs of men, women and kids. ASICS has produced products filled with technological designs and features such as the revolutionary ASICS® GEL® Cushioning System. The ASICS® GEL-NIMBUS® and ASICS® GEL-KAYANO® running shoes have benefited from such innovation and have enhanced the running experience for so many ASICS mens and ASICS womens aficionados. So on any given day, a runner can get fitted from head to toe with ASICS running clothes and ASICS running shoes. A feat Kihachiro Onitsuka would be very proud of to this day.

Running is one focus for this brand as ASICS produces products for training, volleyball, wrestling, track & field, cheerleading and field sports. ASICS kids shoes and ASICS kids clothing are made for the younger athletic market. Rounding out the brand’s product offering are ASICS bags to help meet the demands of your sporting desires.

To date, ASICS continues to put forth quality tested products designed to stand the rigors of elite and amateur athletes alike. Willing to try something new, and always staying ahead of the curve is how ASICS manages to stay true to it's namesake.

About me: I'm a casual runner--a handful of miles a week if that. My exercise includes jogging, sprints, calisthenics, interval style work-outs and weights. I like to use the same shoe for everything and while a cross-trainer is most likely better suited for my needs I prefer running shoes and haven't had any problems. About the shoe: I purchased a size 7 wide with the bright orange accents. The orange is very bright: think neon. I happen to like this as orange is a color I like and the appearance of the shoe is invigorating... I went with the wide because previous reviews mentioned the shoe runs narrow and I have a somewhat wide foot. Feel... Fabulous. Roomy toe box gives enough room for my toes, good support throughout my movements, and excellent cushioning when I strike the ground. Previously, I wore Brooks GTS 12 size 7 wide & I enjoyed that shoe very much as well, though, if purchasing Brooks again I'd go with a normal fit because I feel that model runs wide. Zappos is a phenomenal site with excellent selection and superior customer service that is second to none.

The shoe looks great but when I tried on my normal size 9.5 medium width it was so snug, the shoe was stiff, and it felt like a trail sneaker. The inside cushioning feels up to quality. If you have a narrow foot maybe you ll like this shoe. In the picture it looks great but in person it looks cheaply made. I always have trouble finding sneakers but I've mostly worn Nike the more flexible ones not the stiff narrow air max tailwind series. Most recently Nike dual fusion and pegasus 28 models. The newer models are never made like the last great ones. Recently I tried the Brooks adrenaline gts 12 in wide width, The 9.5 medium gave me foot pain where I over pronate on the out side of the food, and the wide width fixed that. What a great ride, the sneaker does most of the work as you walk, it rolls of the ground. Good luck in your search. I love zappos super fast service!

These are my first pair of Asics and I'm a fan. I love the color (which is notably brighter orange than the images indicate). Think tangerine. The shoes are comfortable but felt odd the first day or so. I got an 8.5 and they fit but I could probably as easily have worn an 8. I wear an 8 in dress shoes but typically an 8.5 in Adidas.

I'd also recommend: Adidas (especially the trail shoes)

These are so cushion-y and colorful! Nice tread for trail running. Thinking of getting another pair in a different color to mix it up! Love Zappos!

These are the best shoes I have had in a long time! I usually buy Adidas, but went out of my comfort zone this time, and I am glad I did! I walk 3 miles each day, not much of a workout, but these shoes work best for me. They are truly comfortable shoes...will buy Asics again!

I'd also recommend: Adidas
