Inside ASICS FLAGSHIP SHINJUKU - Tokyo's New Sportswear Hotspot! 4 Floors of ASICS Gear and Custom Creations in Shinjuku

Date published: 1 September 2026

Shinjuku is one of Tokyo’s biggest hubs for global brands and cutting-edge trends, and sports fans now have another reason to visit. On July 31, leading Japanese sportswear brand ASICS opened its newest flagship store, ASICS FLAGSHIP SHINJUKU, in bustling Shinjuku-sanchome.

This is no ordinary ASICS store. Following its Harajuku location, it is the brand’s second flagship store in Japan and, together with its Shanghai location, one of just three top-tier ASICS flagship stores currently operating worldwide.

Spanning an impressive 605.4 square meters across four floors, the store combines sleek contemporary design with sustainability-minded features, including fitting room flooring made from recycled sneakers. Whether you’re a serious runner looking for high-performance gear or a sneaker and streetwear fan hunting for your next favorite look, ASICS FLAGSHIP SHINJUKU offers one of the brand’s most comprehensive shopping experiences in Japan.

From performance footwear to fashion-forward styles and the customizable ASICS CREATE T-shirt experience, here’s what to look for on each floor.

ASICS FLAGSHIP SHINJUKU spans four floors, each with its own distinctive design while maintaining a cohesive, modern feel throughout. Marble-like flooring and wooden display fixtures create a comfortable, seamless shopping environment as you move from casual styles to serious performance gear.

Sustainability is also built into the store design. The fitting room floors, for example, incorporate eco-friendly EVA foam made from crushed and recycled used shoes.

Here’s a floor-by-floor look at what you can expect inside.

1F | Discover the Latest ASICS SportStyle Looks

The first floor is dedicated primarily to ASICS SportStyle, showcasing the brand’s casual, fashion-forward sneakers and apparel. Alongside popular staples, you’ll also find buzzworthy limited-edition collaborations, making this the floor to browse if you’re hunting for something a little more distinctive.

2F | Running Shoes + Free ASICS FOOT ID 3D Measurement

The second floor is geared toward runners and families, with an extensive selection of running shoes and kids’ footwear. One of its biggest highlights is the free ASICS FOOT ID 3D foot measurement service, which requires no reservation.

Using four precision cameras, the system takes just 15 seconds to measure five key factors, including foot length, instep height, arch height, foot circumference, and heel width. The results can then help staff recommend shoes that better match the shape of your feet.

3F | Sports Gear + the New ASICS CREATE Customization Service

The third floor covers a wider range of sports, with running and training apparel alongside specialized gear for tennis, basketball, and golf.

It is also home to ASICS CREATE, the brand’s first personalized T-shirt customization service at an ASICS-operated store. Here, visitors can get creative and design a one-of-a-kind piece to take home.

4F | Relax in the Exclusive PRIVATE LOUNGE

The top floor is home to the PRIVATE LOUNGE, an exclusive space available to eligible OneASICS members by paid reservation. Use of the lounge costs 3,300 yen per session, including tax.

Guests receive one-on-one assistance from a dedicated advisor, with personalized recommendations covering everything from serious running gear to everyday outfits.

If you want something a little more personal than an off-the-rack T-shirt, or a unique souvenir from your Tokyo trip, ASICS CREATE on the third floor is worth checking out. This is ASICS’ first apparel customization service at a directly operated store, and it is currently available exclusively at ASICS FLAGSHIP SHINJUKU.

The service is available to members of the official OneASICS membership program and requires an in-store reservation. Each reservation slot lasts one hour, with the actual design process taking around 20 minutes.

Customers can choose their preferred graphics and layout, adding up to five embroidered patches or printed designs to each T-shirt. Staff then use dedicated equipment to complete the customization, turning the experience into more than just buying a shirt. It is a chance to create a piece that feels uniquely your own.

Our Writer Tries ASICS CREATE: What It’s Really Like

The sheer number of embroidered patches and printed designs available is seriously impressive. Better yet, you can decide exactly where each one goes, whether on the front, back, sleeves, higher up, or lower down. With so many combinations to choose from, I spent quite a while agonizing over my final design!

In the end, I went with a large Shinjuku-exclusive logo print, paired with a red ASICS logo for a distinctly Japanese touch, plus an embroidered patch on the sleeve. I was thrilled with how it turned out!

There are plenty of other designs and styles to mix and match, so it may be worth thinking about your preferred layout before you visit. Otherwise, you might end up spending just as much time deciding as I did!
