Asahi product data

Founded in 1892 in Kurume, Japan, Asahi Shoes is a historic footwear manufacturer that has quietly shaped the global sneaker industry. Originally producing traditional Japanese split-toe jika-tabi, the brand evolved to become a pivotal manufacturer for Nike in the 1970s and 1980s, helping create iconic silhouettes like the Blazer and Bruin. Today, Asahi is celebrated for its own line of minimalist, retro-inspired sneakers that prioritize comfort, simplicity, and artisanal construction.
