Asic's history dates all the way back to post World War II Japan. Which makes it one of the oldest footwear companies in the world. As some of you know already, the company was formerly known as Onitsuka Tiger (The company Phil Knight worked for before starting Nike) and was later named Asics. Asics & the Onitsuka make some of the most classic and finest sneakers in the world. Still to this day. In this video we cover the history of ASICS and discuss why the company's legacy is perhaps the most important of them all.

I never heard about ASICS until I joined the Army in 2009. And ASICS has been my go to shoe since then. But I'm still surprised most shoe stores where I live still don't know what ASICS are.

Best to describe Onitsuka Tiger is their humility and timelessness. The classic Onitsuka sneakers are always designed with simplicity and bare necessity in mind. They fit so comfortably well and the Ortholite insoles on them are superb. Top story there.

Asics/Onitsuka Tiger does have a very interesting history. And I think most people really don't realise how important Asics has been to the history of sports shoes, and sports shoe branding in general. The founder of Asics could be said to be the father of modern shoe culture. And if there were no Asics then there would probably be no Nike.

When i was a kid, i ran in my school athletic events. I only had casual trainers which were really heavy. I thought “sports” shoes were just one type. The following year i got my dad to buy me a pair of light “sports shoes”. It was light as a feather and has got good traction. I didn’t know anything about brands etc but it had those iconic tiger stripes. I managed to win some medals!

No they did not, in fact in it was an Onitsuka executive who started tried to undercut Nike, it fact Phil Knight had to plan to even start manufacturing shoes before that. If you are curious, read the book " Shoe Dog" by Phil Knight and other independent sources.

Incorrect. Pure speculation. Nike literally took Onitsuka Tiger shoes to a Mexican factory and asked them to produce the shoe with a different logo on it. They even used Japanese Onitsuka money to do so. And... Nike was born.

I read about Onitsuka in 'Shoe Dog'. But this video taught me 2 important things. 1. US-occupied Japan post WW2. 2. ASICS is actually a conglomerate of a number of companies. I knew Onitsuka was owned by ASICS but didn't know it was actually a 3-way merger. On a separate note, I absolutely love your videos. I think they are very well researched and you present it really well. Big fan, all the way from India.

I'm glad you guys finally got around to doing some history on Tigers and Asics, they happen to be one of my favorite brands, and in particular, I own like 4-6 pairs ranging from the Ultimate 81's, Tai Chi, and Mexico 66's. The leather quality on the 66's is impressive, granted they tend to sell a bit more than most Nike's but it's really soft, supple, and overall well made but not suggested for people with really wide feet or someone who might be more heavy set since they offer almost no padding or cushion. Also quite true to size and since the leather is soft will expand so order for a more snug fit knowing they'll ease up. Love to see a video about Puma and the speed cat series and variations, I used to see some sick stuff from them like 15-20 years back

Thanks for this vid. Imho, Onitsuka's tiger stripes are the sleekest of all footwear lines and "swooshes." They just have the best look/flow to them when even standing still! And when it comes to sneakerheads looking for aesthetics, that is a huge factor.

An absolutely great video explaining OT and Asics, subscribed now! I did an amateur review on the Mexico 66 'Bruce Lee' Yellow & Black! Keep up the good work!

I just started the video. I just want to start with, I love the ASICS shoes. I usually get Adidas or Fila because I can get them higher around the ankle. This is because I have an ankle injury. But, I love the ASICS because they feel so good and they are so grippy. I first got the Excite 7 in rose gold and black. Today I got a pair of Venture 7's and I love them.

Hey im glad i caught this video. I hope the vac went easy and you make more videos. I remember hearing about cortez actually forcing to own the shoe company or something. I prefer how it began a lil bit reminds me of my childhood shoes in the 90s runner shoes began a great trend.
