Background
Beyond the corporate venture investment in Jerusalem's Seevix, ASICS has a visible consumer presence in Israel — a branded flagship store at Tel Aviv Port, ASICS Israel social channels, and a local ASICS FrontRunner community — but public sources do not identify the Israeli importer/distributor that operates this retail and marketing activity, so it is not attributed here to ASICS Corporation itself. Claims that ASICS sponsors Israeli marathons were checked and not verified: the Tel Aviv Marathon's title sponsor is Samsung, and the Jerusalem Marathon's shoe partner was Saucony (a different company). Some boycott lists cite ASICS over the Seevix investment; that underlying investment is corroborated by ASICS's own announcement and documented above.
