ASICS（阿斯克斯，アシックス， ashikkusu） (東証1部：7936) 是一家田径运动用品生产商，公司创办于1949年，当时创办人鬼冢喜八郎(Kihachiro Onitsuka）开始在日本神户市兵库县自己的家里制作运动鞋。 Asics produces shoes designed for football, running, tennis, martial arts, cricket, golf, wrestling, track & field, cross-training, volleyball, cheerleading,Lacrosse, and for many other sports.
Initially the company was known as Onitsuka Tiger, and was famous for their Mexico 66 line of shoes and their distinctive stripes. In 1977, Onitsuka Tiger merged with GTO and JELENK to form ASICS Corporation. Despite the name change, a vintage range of Asics shoes are still produced and sold internationally under the Onitsuka Tiger label. The name of the company "ASICS" is an acronym of the Latin phrase "anima sana in corpore sano" which translates to "a sound mind in a sound body".^[1] Since 2007 there has been a larger emphasis placed on this acronym.
