White Leather Upper

The shoe draws from ASICS’ deep archives to slot into a diverse skate line that proudly foregrounds the Japanese brand’s athletic lineage. The stitched toebox and upper find inspiration from a vintage ASICS soccer cleat, the INJECTOR Arezzo I(1989), while the semi-translucent sole updates the brand’s long history of courtshoes.

Gino’s first reaction to the LEGGEREZZAFB said it all—“Yes. That’s a perfect looking shoe.” 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.

According to Gino, “They feel perfect, snug and light and with enough foot protection without sacrificing board feel.” The first drop of the LEGGEREZZAFB also 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.
