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.

The initial drops were dope, but our friends at Skatepark of Tampa reminded us that a new colorway is hitting shops as we speak. The subtle little red hits actually pop pretty perfectly, if you ask me. The hits keep coming! 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 when the shoe first dropped. “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.” 

All I know is it's impossible to deny how much thought went into nailing the balance between subtle design and real performance when it comes to these kicks. Modern day skate shoes for modern day skateboarding—give ’em your worst!

I guess what matters most is the simple fact that Gino has been rocking the shoe, and it’s clear why it resonates with him—it works hard without stealing the spotlight, which means as always, he can let his skating do the talking.

That's also why it's so easy to call this “the most Gino shoe ever,” but I mean... c'mon! What else should we call it? And with new colorways on the horizon, this hit shoe is going to keep on hitting. Roll through your local and swoop 'em up.
