Asics Skateboarding just dropped a fresh set of blacked-out staples that look as clean as they are ready to rip—and they're landing at skateshops as we speak.

The new all-black Gel-Vickka Pro, Gel-Flexkee 2.0, and Japan Pro are perfect for the minimalists, the purists, and anyone who wants a no-nonsense skate shoe built for the streets. You've seen the team! No gimmicks here. Take a look:

This bold new drop basically just strips things down to the essentials. No random, loud colors, no BS, just skate shoes designed for one thing—skateboarding.

If you're a fan of Asics—or maybe you're just curious—we rounded up seven of our favorite Asics Skateboarding drops recently. Tap that post above to see what made the list. And don't be afraid to tell me what we forgot.

I had mentioned it in prior posts, but I'm stoked to see their team continuing to grow slowly and organically. Every one of their riders is respected, on and off the board, and they all bring something fresh to the table. Absolute rippers!

Hate 'em or love 'em, the brand continues to do things right, in my opinion. It's been rad to watch unfold, and we're excited to see what the rest of the year brings.

Hit your local shop and get the scoop. Might be time to try something new!
