ASICS (アシックス, Ashikkusu)

is a Japanese athletic equipment company which produces footwear and sports equipment. The name is an acronym for the Latin phrase anima sana in corpore sano which translates as “a sound mind in a sound body”.

My coworker who like wins races (he’s 65+ but still, very known in the NoVa running community) told me today when I showed him a pic of my new shoes that ASICS was an acronym with a cool meaning which is also one of my mantras!
