However, they also compete in hiking shoes, sneakers, trail running shoes and many other types of sport shoes.
Additionally, both of these brands sell sport clothing as well. In this article we will take a look at the differences and resemblances between the companies and their products. ASICS had a revenue of roughly 3. Nike is clearly leading in terms of revenue, but ASICS is by no means a small company in terms of revenue either. It might just look like that when compared to one of the most powerful brands in the world currently 14 in terms of brand value. However, I must say that I was pretty surprised to see that Nike has almost 10 times the amount of employees.
When taking at look at where employees tend to be happier, Nike once again takes the lead. At least based upon the reviews that were given on www. Nike has an average rating of 3. Which means that they have at least 1 retail store in that specific country. ASICS seems the be more focused toward establishing their brand in certain parts of the world. Nike also states that the only requirement for being an athlete is having a body. We do that by creating groundbreaking sport innovations, by making our products more sustainably, by building a creative and diverse global team and by making a positive impact in communities where we live and work.
Even though Nike is often linked with fashion, the main focus is clearly sport and innovation. They really try to be pioneers in terms of creating new and innovative products that can have a positive impact on communities. Even though they are also very present in the sneaker market and often create new trends.
Staying true to the philosophy by which it was founded, every ASICS innovation, every concept, every idea is intended to create the best product. Our mission is to become the number one brand for the sports enthusiast. To accomplish this, we pledge to continue to make the best product; striving to build upon our technological advances and pushing the limits on what we can learn from the body and its needs in athletic gear. We pledge to bring harmony to the body and soul. With very vague sentences like:.
Finally, I think one of the most important things to remember about their mission statement is that everything they do is done with the intention of creating the best products. Nike was founded by 2 Americans in The name Nike comes from the Greek goddess of victory. Initially the company was named Blue Ribbon Sports. ASICS on the other hand has an entirely different origin. It was founded in and it finds its origin in Japan.
ASICS started out as a basketball shoe company, but soon after they started creating multiple different types of sports shoes. Not only their sneakers, but also their running shoes apparently need to look nice. While Nike is more experimental and tries out different things, they still seem to rely mostly on air.
Certain runners prefer gel cushioning, others prefer air cushioning. I know that most runners with wide feet tend to prefer ASICS because they have a lot of models that are optimized for people with wider feet. Both brands have tons of different running shoes. Every runner has different needs and preferences.
However, I will feature the one running shoe from each brand that has the best average rating at the time of writing just to give you an idea. The lowest price can usually be found on amazon:. Men: Asics Gel Kayano Women: Asics Gel Kayano Most of the performance-oriented race shoes from Asics will also fit snug and small. You can find the size and fit recommendations on each product page on our website. Wider widths are recommended for people with naturally wider feet or foot conditions like bunions.
Here are some of the visual signs that you need a wider shoe:.
