ASICS GEL-1130 sneaker

ASICS is a globally recognized Japanese sportswear brand that traces its roots back to 1949 with the founding of Onitsuka Co., Ltd. by Kihachiro Onitsuka. The brand is famous for its performance-oriented footwear, particularly its GEL cushioning technology which debuted in the 1980s.

Today, the ASICS GEL-1130 model is part of a lifestyle resurgence, drawing inspiration from technical running shoes of the late 2000s. While the brand is headquartered in Japan, manufacturing is distributed across multiple countries in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, and China, to manage global supply chains efficiently. ASICS Corporation remains the ultimate owner and operates as an independent multinational entity listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
