message: This article is sloppily written. Asics makes fine stuff, but names of sports, teams, etc. should be much better documented, and the typos were embarassing. Bellagio99 (talk) 00:38, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

message: How much value does it nowadays have, that ASICS is the selected brand for aussi cricket team back in 2011? It was not notable back then, and it still makes no sense nowadays. Edoderoo (talk) 07:27, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

message: The about page for the company provides a citation for the opening paragraph, although I would change the Latin translation to " a sound mind in a sound body" to mirror what the company itself says  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.47.102.189 (talk) 03:33, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Citation for intro paragraph

message: The article does not make clear about the relation between Onitsuka Tiger and ASICS. It appears that  Onitsuka Tiger was the early name used for ASICS in Japan? At some point, ASICS was known as Asics Tiger in some area. However, no citation has been found in this assertion.

message: The name is an acronym for the Latin phrase anima sana in corpore sano[2], which translates as "Healthy soul in a healthy body".
The name ASICS is an acronym of the Latin phrase anima sana in corpore sano[2] which translates to "healthy soul in a healthy body" and derives from Juvenal's aphorism mens sana in corpore sano.
I'm not sure why this is being repeated (especially in such a small article) but one of them must go.

message: Following recent moves and capitalisation discussion, and the resolution that has now been achieved I thought it worthwhile to point out that we do not follow grammar rules invented by the marketing dept of a clothing company. -Roxy, the dog. wooF 11:11, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

replies: text: The position of Asics rather than ASICS runs against the Wikipedia style guide  — (Capitalize IKEA, IBM, as acronyms/initialisms.) Shoeinu (talk) 09:38, 21 April 2022 (UTC)

text: The section above explains why we use "Asics". Also see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS which basically says that it doesn't matter what we do on other pages, we are discussing this page. -Roxy  the grumpy dog. wooF 09:41, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Capitalization of a single name has nothing to do with grammar and everything to do with style. If you want to appeal to the NYT as 'common usage' there are plenty of examples in the NYT of the name all capitalised. The name was capitalised from the start, as you can see as far back as the 70's because it is an acronym, they were following the widely accepted rules of style or 'grammar' in your parlance. If someone new to the name thinking it's a word because they haven't seen it written down, then writes it in capital case, that shouldn't be the new standard, that just means they don't know it was an acronym. The only reason I came to this article was to understand why ASICS is capitalised in places, that are not ASICS own marketing, and that's because it's an acronym. So it would make a lot of sense that references within the article to name reflect that. So you're basically saying you can just make things up when you want to on any article? I've made my point and if other people that support this arrive later change it. 2400:4050:A201:6100:A0BB:38CA:F741:D7EB (talk) 12:36, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Grammar rules 

message: Although the InfoBox shows asics.com as the official website, it actually links to the U.S. version of the site (https://www.asics.com/us/en-us/). This is assuming that U.S. English speakers are the only ones reading the en. version of this article. I'd like to propose changing the link back to https: //www.asics.com, as it was up until October 2020. Thanks and always up for a discussion. SBCornelius (talk) 19:08, 9 November 2022 (UTC)
