Since our founding in 1949, our purpose has been to help people achieve a Sound Mind, Sound Body™. But in order to achieve Sound Mind, Sound Body™ we need a sound earth to run on. We’re taking action—reducing carbon emissions, embracing recycled materials and using less resources, to continue bringing the benefits of movement to the world we love to run on.
Planting Seeds for a Brighter Tomorrow
The ASICS sunflower icon represents our sustainability pledge and commitment to preserving the planet. This icon can be found on:

Apparel containing leftover material or at least 50% material from textile waste in the garment’s main material.
