Asics launches sunflower-themed collection to celebrate founder’s 100th anniversary

If Asics’ founder, Kihachiro Onitsuka, were still alive today, he would be turning 100 years old on May 29. In honor of his legacy, Asics is set to launch a sunflower-themed limited-edition collection, as Onitsuka was a big fan of Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh and even painted sunflowers himself. Named KO100, the collection will offer apparel and footwear in striking reds, oranges and yellows.
