Asics was built in a hard-hit Japan after the end of World War II in 1949. Many experienced this time as difficult but the founder Kihachiro Ontsuka wanted to give something for younger generations to look forward to. Asics then started producing shoes to promote an active and healthy lifestyle. The name Asics itself is an acronym of a Latin proverb which in Swedish means "a healthy soul in a healthy body". Asics running shoes are often classified as the most functional on the market and their padel shoes are no exception. Asics padel shoes have been worn by, among others, Pablo Lima and Gemma Triay during their journey to the top.
