From the Manufacturer
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. Today, ASICS offers a full line of performance-driven athletic shoes and technical active sports apparel and accessories dedicated to bringing harmony to the body and soul.

Customer Reviews

Simply Perfect
Asics has been my favorite brand for the past 2 seasons. This is my favorite training shoe for this season. Excelent cushioning and support. I'm 6ft and 92kg with mild pronation so this is exactly what I need to help prevent injuries. Anyone coming from the 2130 shoes will not be disappointed. So far I think it's even better than the current Kayano.

Love being back with Asics
Am a new runner who started running 5Ks, 10Ks, and a single 10-miler in 2008-09. Started out with Asics, and knowing little about running shoes, kept looking for bargains. Ended up with Sauconys and Nikes for a while. Also ended up being sore around my achilles and knees for a long period of time. Finally went and got fitted at a running store and they recommended Asics Gel Nimbus - expensive, but a smooth ride. Developed some serious knee pain over time and finally went to a podiatrist for advice. Turns out the Gel Nimbus were too soft, especially in the heel for my running gait. Also turns out that one leg is 3/8 of an inch shorter than the other, this being the biggest cause of the knee pain. Podiatrist provided a list of acceptable running shoes, including the GT-2140s, which he said would be firmer in the heel. He also provided a 3/8 inch lift which he said to put under the sole of the shoe on the shorter leg.

The GT-2140s have completely transformed my running experience. They are firm but provide just the right level of support for my gait. Best of all, I run more or less pain free and there is nothing better than that after a year of gritting my teeth as soon as I hit mile 4 and pushing through. Now I am training for a marathon and I have put 150 miles on these shoes in the past seven weeks and they are holding up well. I hear that these are going to be discontinued soon, so I feel like I will be buying at least two more pairs before that happens! Highly recommend these shoes for runners who don't over-pronate, but who need stability and a firmer heel.

Great Shoe
I am a recreational runner and run between 3.5 and 5.5 miles 5 days a week. I am also 6'3" and 230 lbs. and as a heavier runner, really appreciate the durability and comfort of this shoe. I also own a pair of 2130s and like them very much, but find the 2140s just a bit more comfortable to run in. I would highly recommend this shoe, especially for heavier runners.
