Asics Skateboarding and Gino Iannucci recently hit us with the Leggerezza FB—a new soccer-inspired silhouette that instantly caught our attention for how perfectly it fit Gino’s style—on Instagram and if I had three words to say about them at first glance, they'd be: minimal, clean, and timeless.
But sometimes a slideshow of images can only show us so much, you know? Many are wondering what actually makes this skate shoe stand out? Well, as always, David Bluetile is here with the full rundown of the Leggerezza FB from top to bottom. Smash that play button and get a closer look below.
"Two years into a grassroots campaign built upon core shops and street-level support, ASICS Skateboarding here showcases the long-awaited silhouette styled by pro skater and icon, Gino Iannucci," ASICS mentioned on Instagram. "Titled the Leggerezza FB, the new model draws from the Japanese brand’s deep archives and slots into a diverse skate line that proudly foregrounds ASICS’ athletic lineage."
The video digs into all the details that matter—the stuff photos don’t always capture—like the materials, the paneling, the shape, how that sleek football (soccer) heritage gets retooled for skating... the list goes on.
What’s clear is that after a closer look like this, it's impossible to deny how much thought went into nailing that balance between subtle design and real performance. Modern day skate shoes for modern day skateboarding—give 'em your worst!
It’s easy to call this “the most Gino shoe ever,” but this video promises why that’s true simply beyond just the looks. Been on the fence about copping a pair? Consider this your invitation.
