Metaspeed Singlet

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 MetaSpeed Singlet is the apparel bookend to Asics' elite racing shoes — an ultralight knit with ACTIBREEZE bodymapped ventilation through the high-heat zones, bonded neck and armhole construction (no bulky seams), reflective details and water-repellent yarn where the singlet sees the most sweat. At least 50% recycled content in the main fabric.
