ASICS gives teachers 25% off qualifying full-priced footwear and 30% off qualifying full-priced clothing and accessories, in its online and retail stores. You have to be an active OneASICS member and a current resident of the United States or Puerto Rico, and ASICS says faculty or staff at a K-12 school, or university in the United States may be verified and eligible.
If the same pair of sneakers has been through three years of hall duty and field day, here’s how the verification works, what the limits are, and what ASICS leaves out.
How To Get The ASICS Teacher Discount
ASICS’ discount programs page says you have to be a OneASICS member to verify, and if you’re already a member you’ll be prompted to log in first. Step one is logging in to OneASICS to verify your status with SheerID. Depending on your status you may be asked for a work or school-issued email address. ASICS says that’s only for verification, and your discount is applied using your existing OneASICS account.
Step two is an email confirming your verification status once you’re approved. Step three depends on where you shop. Online, the discount is applied to your OneASICS account, and once you’re logged in you have the option to apply it to qualifying products at checkout. In a retail store, you show the QR code ASICS emails you separately to the in-store associate, who scans it and applies the discount at checkout. The page has separate buttons for verifying for the online discount and for the in-store discount.
Who Counts As A Teacher
Teachers are one of the groups on the page, alongside medical professionals, first responders, military service members, students, employees of select gyms and employees of ASICS corporate partners. ASICS says each group may have its own eligibility requirements and different discount percentages, and you can only be verified under one group at a time.
For teachers, the page says faculty or staff at a K-12 school, or university in the United States may be verified and eligible. It doesn’t list job titles such as substitute or aide, so we can’t tell you whether a role like that qualifies. The terms also say verification isn’t guaranteed and you may be denied eligibility. To finish verifying you have to consent to receive marketing emails from ASICS, including during the verification process, and the terms say you can unsubscribe afterward without affecting your continued participation. If you stop meeting the requirements or close your OneASICS account, your participation ends.
How Often You Can Use It
Once you’re verified, ASICS says you can use the discount on up to two purchases per month, online at ASICS.com or at ASICS U.S. Retail Stores. Each purchase can discount a maximum of five full-priced items. If an order has more than that, the discount goes to the five lowest-priced eligible items in it, so a big order doesn’t get the discount on your most expensive pair. A month you skip doesn’t carry over: unused discounts are forfeited.
If you’re new to OneASICS, ASICS says your first purchase also gets an additional 10% off after the verified discount is applied, and the terms say that offer can be used together with it. The page says that goes for a first purchase in store as well.
What The Discount Leaves Out
It doesn’t apply to sale or reduced priced merchandise, and it can’t be combined with other offers, discounts, promotions or benefits, apart from the new-member 10% or as ASICS otherwise decides. It doesn’t apply to prior purchases, gift cards, gift certificates, taxes, or shipping and handling charges. Bulk purchases are out too, which ASICS defines as 5 or more pairs or units of the same SKU.
The products also have to be solely for your own use: the terms say no orders are accepted for others under this program. That makes it the wrong route for buying shoes for someone else.
What We Couldn’t Confirm
We didn’t verify through SheerID or place an order, so we can’t say how long approval takes. We also didn’t try a specific pair at checkout, so we can’t say whether a given style counts as qualifying. ASICS says it may change, extend or end the program without notice, so check its page before you buy.
