The Heart of ASICS: A Sound Mind, A Sound Body
Ever wondered what ASICS stands for? It’s not just a cool name, it comes from the Latin phrase Anima Sana In Corpore Sano, meaning “a sound mind in a sound body.” That’s the foundation of everything ASICS does.
For decades, this brand has been laser-focused on helping runners find that perfect balance of physical performance and mental clarity. Their philosophy isn’t about quick trends or flashy gimmicks, it’s about continuous improvement, or “kaizen.”
Every shoe, every innovation, every tiny tweak to cushioning and fit is designed to make running more enjoyable, sustainable, and maybe even a little addictive.
The ASICS lineup just got a serious glow-up with two game-changing releases: the MEGABLAST and the GT-2000 14.
Let’s start with the MEGABLAST™, a neutral trainer that feels like pure energy underfoot. Think of it as your ultimate mileage partner, stacked with lightweight cushioning and ASICS’ FF TURBO²™ foam that’s ridiculously bouncy (like, “I can’t stop smiling” bouncy). The rockered sole practically begs you to keep moving forward, making every run feel effortless.
And then there’s the GT-2000™ 14, the latest evolution of ASICS’ legendary stability shoe. If your stride needs a little guidance (hello, overpronators), this is your shoe. It’s smoother, softer, and more responsive than ever, thanks to FF BLAST™ MAX cushioning and a redesigned upper that hugs your foot just right. It’s support without the clunkiness, like having a personal coach for your feet, but way lighter.
Tech That Feels Like Magic
ASICS isn’t just making shoes, they’re crafting a running experience built on trust, innovation, and that “sound mind, sound body” vibe. Decades of research and real runner feedback keep them ahead of the game, proving they’re more than a brand, they’re a partner in every mile.

Running with ASICS means more than great shoes, it means joining a brand that values progress, balance, and the joy of movement. That’s why runners everywhere keep coming back for more.
