ASICS Institute of Sport Science

ASICS Oceania Pty. Ltd., the Australian subsidiary of ASICS Corporation, has established ISS Australia as a new research and development unit.

Australia has well-established expertise in podiatry, which specializes in the health and function of the feet, ankles, and lower limbs, as well as universities and research institutions with advanced expertise in sports science. Building on the network of universities and specialists that ASICS has developed in Australia, ISS Australia will advance research in areas including podiatry, human movement, and physical function.
Through this research, ISS Australia will pursue both maximizing athlete performance and taking into consideration the physical load on the body, applying the findings to the development of next-generation products. Research will also extend to sports that are popular in Australia, such as netball, with a view to contributing to a broad range of product development spanning footwear and apparel. ISS Australia will advance research that draws on Australia's unique sporting environment and expertise.

ASICS has launched the ISS Europe as a new research and development department within ASICS Europe B.V., its European regional headquarters. This follows the establishment of ISS America in December 2025, and represents a further step in ASICS's ongoing efforts to strengthen its global research and development framework.

In conjunction with this, ASICS has entered into a strategic partnership with HumanFab, an advanced center for sports research facilities and specialized expertise located in Aix-en-Provence, France.
Through this partnership, ASICS will leverage HumanFab's state-of-the-art research facilities—including one of the world's leading indoor tennis court laboratories—to enhance the collection of athlete data in real competitive environments. This collaboration will also deepen ASICS's long-standing research into human movement and performance, further advancing the development of high-value products that contribute to improving athletes' competitive performance.

ASICS Corporation has established a research base in California, USA, to accelerate global innovation, naming it "ASICS Institute of Sport Science America LLC."
In conjunction with this, ASICS has agreed to a partnership with the University of Michigan, launching the "ASICS Michigan Sport Innovation Center (AMSI)"
Through this partnership, leveraging the University of Michigan's world-class comprehensive research capabilities and running environment as a foundation, ASICS aims to drive innovation that contributes to athlete performance by promoting its Global Integrated Enterprise (GIE) research framework.
