ASICS Announces Partnership as A Total Support Member for The 25th Summer Deaflympics Tokyo 2025

ASICS Corporation is pleased to announce that it has become a Total Support Member for the “25th Summer Deaflympics Tokyo 2025,” scheduled to be held in Tokyo in November 2025. The event is organized by the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf (ICSD).

The Deaflympics is an international multi-sport event for athletes who are deaf, held every four years. The upcoming event marks the 100th anniversary of the Deaflympics and will be held in Japan for the first time.
ASICS made the commitment to become a Total Support Member because the Games promote and develop sports for the deaf as well as to help contribute to the physical and mental well-being of the public. These goals align with the vision of ASICS.
As part of this commitment, ASICS will provide sportswear and other support to the Deaflympics Organizing Committee and will collaborate on initiatives to promote and develop deaf sports.

ASICS has been actively involved in promoting para sports, serving as an official top partner of organizations such as the Japan Para Sports Association, the Japan Paralympic Committee, the Japan Para Athletics Federation, and the Japan Deaf Athletics Association. It has also initiated projects supporting visually impaired runners in completing marathons without guides.
Moving forward, ASICS will continue to contribute to a healthy and sustainable inclusive society by providing products, services, and environments that promote physical and mental well-being for people around the world.
