Asics was founded in Kobe, Japan in 1949 by Kihachiro Onitsuka, who started making basketball shoes in a country rebuilding from the war. In 1977 the company merged with GTO and Jelenk to become ASICS — an acronym of Anima Sana In Corpore Sano, Latin for "a sound mind in a sound body." GEL cushioning arrived in 1986; the Gel-Kayano launched in 1993, named after in-house designer Toshikazu Kayano. The modern foam arc — FF Blast+, FF Blast+ Eco, FF Turbo+, FF Turbo², FF Leap — continues a 75-year engineering culture that puts underfoot science before marketing.
The Gel-Trabuco 13 GTX is Asics' waterproof trail trainer — Gore-Tex Invisible Fit upper, revamped AsicsGrip outsole, a flexible rock plate, 34.5 / 26.5 mm stack, 288 g. Built for wet-weather daily trail miles: shoulder-season and winter training, rain-soaked fire road, packed snow. Reviewers cite it as the best-riding Trabuco to date.
