Introducing the Gino Iannucci x ASICS Leggerezza FB: A Skate Legend’s Take on a Classic Football Cleat
ASICS is making moves in the skate world, and their latest collaboration with skate legend Gino Iannucci is proof of that. The new ASICS Skateboarding division, launched just two years ago, has been gaining momentum with models like the GEL-FLEXKEE and collaborations like Kiko Kostadinov’s OTTO958. But now, it’s time for Iannucci to take the spotlight.
Joining Forces with ASICS Skateboarding
In 2023, Gino Iannucci teamed up with ASICS Skateboarding and is now helping the brand launch the Leggerezza FB. This model, which was quietly customized by COMME des GARCONS HOMME DEUX earlier this year, puts a new spin on ASICS’ Injector Arrezzo I, a football cleat from 1989. The shoe features a stitched toebox and a retro-inspired upper, paying homage to its football roots.
Two Takes on the Leggerezza FB
Iannucci’s two versions of the Leggerezza FB are equipped with durable, double-stitched leather uppers, a padded tongue, and breathable mesh. The waxed laces, side panels, and unique collector’s shoe box all pay tribute to Iannucci’s love for ice hockey. The first colorway combines navy and white, while the second features a clean white with gold accents.
Where and When to Buy
For those looking to snag a pair of Gino Iannucci’s ASICS Leggerezza FB, they will be available on August 29 at select skate shops for $105 USD each. A wider release and more colorways are scheduled for September, so keep an eye out for updates. Don’t miss your chance to add these stylish and functional sneakers to your collection.
