He Slept In Train Stations, Then Turned It Into A Billion Dollar Shoe Brand!

Beginning as a traveling salesman with nowhere to sleep but train stations, Kihachiro Sakaguchi was considered a delusion. With barely any experience or money to fund his project, his ambitions of going global were considered delusional. But inspiration from an octopus helped rocket his small company into a multi-billion dollar shoe brand. On the way though, his arrogance created a rival bigger than any other, threatening to destroy his own business and all others in the industry. This is the story of Asics.

I found this backstory of how the Asics brand got started was quite fascinating. I love this particular brand of shoes and find them very stylish and comfortable. Thank you very much for sharing this very insightful video. I have a pair of black and green Asics that I wear sometimes and I plan to purchase a black and white pair down the road. Thank you for sharing this very insightful and informative video! 😎👍♥️

Asics shoes are really bouncy. It's like wearing springs that propels you to go forward.

Slept ON train stations? Like on top of them? He turned sleeping on train stations into a business?

[@Businessvidsofficial]

Very intriguing! Like a lot of successful companies, the Asics' culture is centered around its employees who are considered to be the "heart of the business".

Quite amazing how their success is tied in with the rise of Blue Ribbon who would later become the behemoth that is Nike

The people who have created big companies they are genius and super humans and just tiny % of the world pop

Bad choice of title 😂

[@arnelpijuan7618]

Pronounce it the right way. Its 'Ahsics' with a short A. Not 'Aysics'.
