ASICS is founded in 1949 in Japan by Mr.KihachiroOnitsuka. The company initially produces basketball shoes for Japanese basketball stars. But by far, they gained more success with running shoes. Their first winning was when an Ethiopia runner won a gold medal at 1960 Olympics wearing a Tiger, a well-known name of ASICS shoes at that time.
