About asics
ASICS is the performance-running brand Kihachiro Onitsuka started in Kobe in 1949, later renamed in the 1977 merger, which is why people now shop the asics mark for Gel-Kayano and Gel-Nimbus pairs rather than a lifestyle-only sneaker.
Wikipedia dates Onitsuka Co., Ltd. to September 1 1949, records the July 21 1977 merger with GTO and Jelenk that created ASICS Corporation, and renders the acronym as anima sana in corpore sano, a sound mind in a sound body. The same page notes that Onitsuka's early United States distributor, Blue Ribbon Sports, later became Nike. ASICS Corporation's February 13 2026 filing for the year ended December 31 2025 put net sales at 810,916 million yen, up 19.5% from 678,526 million yen, and operating profit at 142,519 million yen, up 42.4%.

What the time series shows
Google Shopping interest for asics printed 39 the week of September 12 2026, down from 42 on September 5 and up from 31 on August 15, a cart that still sits 61 percent under the December 6 2025 peak of 100.
The 260-week series opened at 18 on September 25 2021. Last eight weekly prints are 20, 22, 26, 31, 44, 43, 42, and 39. Closest 30-day point is 31 on August 15 (+25.81%). Closest 90-day point is 52 on June 13 (-25.0%). Same-week 2025 printed 29, 2024 printed 27, and 2023 printed 20, so this 39 sits above those Saturdays. The winter bulge ran 58 on November 29 2025, 100 on December 6, then 60 on December 13. An October 11 2025 print of 96 sat next to 27 the week before. July 25 2026 printed 20, the recent trough, before the August rebuild that peaked at 44 on August 22. Week-over-week percent-change sample standard deviation on the last 52 weeks is 46.87%.
Why the page charts Google Shopping
A shoe people buy should be tracked on a shopping source first, and Google Shopping for asics clears the 30-day +25% bar while Google Search for the same keyword fails both the 7-day and 30-day windows from a 61 print that is still sliding. Google Search for asics is 61 on September 12, down 23.75% from 80 on September 5 and down 17.57% from 74 on August 15. The 7-day print fails +20%. The 30-day print fails +25%. The 1-year print is 61 from 72, down 15.28%. Search is a high, stuck query. Shopping is the cart.
Google Shopping is the story source: 42 to 39 in the frozen weekly series over 7 days, 31 to 39 in 30 days, 29 to 39 in 1 year (+34.48%), 260 weekly points, week-to-week sample standard deviation 46.87% on the last 52 changes. Same-day get_growth on google shopping, 30-day window, puts pickleball at 46 (+84.0% from 25), on running at 10 (+66.67% from 6), brooks at 37 (+60.87% from 23), hoka at 44 (+57.14% from 28), saucony at 52 (+48.57% from 35), and nike at 28 (+12.0% from 25). Race-week context: Pickleball. Source context: Google Shopping trends.
The Trends MCP calls for this keyword
get_time_series with source google shopping and keyword asics is the call behind the chart, returning 260 weekly points from 2021-09-25 through 2026-09-12 stored as {date, value} with no smoothing, which is the only series this page is allowed to quote. get_growth on the same pair, windows 7D and 30D, is the headline math: 42 to 39 (-7.14%) and 31 to 39 (+25.81%). Mixing the Google Search 61 with the Shopping 39 would invent a story the APIs do not tell.
