This ASICS Leggerezza FB highlights the Japanese brand's athletic heritage, drawing inspiration from the ASICS archives..

The look fits perfectly into a skateboarding range. The stitched toe and upper are inspired by a vintage ASICS football shoe, the 1989 Injector Arezzo I, while the semi-translucent sole modernises the silhouette, drawing inspiration from the brand's long history of tennis shoes..

And who better to design two launch colorways than the salt-and-pepper stallion from Long Island, a skater whose push alone can stop hearts and scrolling thumbs alike? An ambassador for ASICS Skateboarding since its conception, Gino stands as a consummate reminder that it’s never really about what you do, but how.

One is a crisp, summertime white with bold pops of pure gold striping. The other is a timeless navy blue and white. On both, you’ll find durable leather uppers double stitched throughout, a padded tongue, inner sockliner, and breathable mesh in the quarters and collar.

These first two colourways of the Leggerezza FB ralso pays homage to Gino’s longtime love for another sport: ice hockey. Its waxed laces and side panels take cues from hockey skate materials, and a custom collector’s shoe box, inspired by the lines of vintage skates, features a hand-sketched silhouette of Gino’s unmistakable push.
