Japanese brand ASICS comes from the Latin phrase “anima sana in corpore sano” which translates to "If you pray to God, you should pray for a sound mind in a healthy body." The brand has been in existence for close to 70 years but remains less popular outside of Japan and some major American and European cities.

The biggest contribution of the brand ASICS to the footwear industry is the production of Gel running shoes. The Gel cushioning system that ASICS developed placed the company on a pedestal as a serious player in shoe manufacturing.

The Gel Cushioning system, a soft material injected at the shoe forefoot and heel, absorbs landing strikes, reduces fatigue, and reduces impact injuries.

Early developers of Gel cushioning claim they are better than an air cushioning system. The gel is made up of a silicone-based substance that is injected into the EVA midsole, promoting shock absorption and dispersing vibration.

Soon several Gel series shoes were released. Among those shoes using the Gel cushioning system released in 1995 is the ASICS Gel DS Trainer. It became very popular among long-distance and high-mileage runners. The running shoe features a DuoSole outsole that has superior grip and traction and a stabilized and durable upper, resulting in comfortable runs.
