In 1949, Mr. Kihachiro Onitsuka began his athletic footwear company (Onitsuka Co., Ltd.) by manufacturing basketball shoes out of his living room in Kobe, Japan. He chose the name ASICS for his company in 1977, based on a famous Latin phrase "Anima Sana In Corpore Sano", which when translated expresses the ancient ideal of "A Sound Mind in a Sound Body." Taking the acronym of this phrase, ASICS was founded on the belief that the best way to create a healthy and happy lifestyle is to promote total health and fitness.
The GEL-DIABLO was originally released in the 90’s. After a long hiatus the GEL-DIABLO is returning. The angular lines of the panels create an upper that is a different aesthetic from our other heritage models. The branding on the tongue and the GEL badge on the midsole give the shoe a retro feel. A retro heritage shoe which sneaker heads can resonate with.
