ASICS has been an official sponsor of India’s biggest running event, the Mumbai Marathon, since 2008, and has increased its appeal as a True Sport Performance brand among runners in particular. The company plans to further strengthen its running lineup and actively develop goods for locally-popular sports like cricket as well as indoor sports like badminton and volleyball. ASICS India Pvt.
