This product is an updated model of the GEL-FLEXKEE PRO, which was developed by analyzing the movements of skaters at the ASICS Institute of Sport Science while incorporating the opinions of professional skaters. This model is characterized by its high level of functionality that allows skaters to demonstrate their performance at a high level.
The product inherits the groove structure of the lateral side, which is designed to allow fine movements of the forefoot while skating. The GEL-FLEXKEE PRO 2.0 also provides better flexibility than the previous model, which improves the grip of the board and protects the toes from board hits.
The eyelets have a structure that allows two types of lacing, inner and outer, to prevent shoelaces from snapping while skating.
The shoe tongue is also designed to be durable, with the top tongue section folded back to prevent the shoelace from snapping. The ankle section has a new PU (polyurethane) print for improved durability when hitting the board. Furthermore, stitching has been added to the rearfoot to improve durability which accommodates the movement of the heelflip. GEL™ Technology has been placed from the center of the rearfoot towards the inner part to absorb the shock of landing, while making it easier to maintain balance on the board.
The "JAPAN S", which is based on the long-selling model "FABRE JAPAN S" that appeared in 1981 and was loved by many basketball players, has been updated to skateboard specifications. Based on the analysis of the movement of the skateboard, the insole is designed with different hardness between the inside and outside by providing punching holes, and the specification that promotes the inner center of gravity is adopted to improve the sense of stability on the board. The upper is made of suede material and has three stitching on the toe and heel parts for durability. The arrangement of the elastic band connecting the tongue and the insole reduces the misalignment of the shoe tongue, and the thicker tongue pursues comfortable wearing. Referring to past archives, the authentic design is inherited, and the suede material enhances the classic silhouette. The reflective material mounted on the heel is also a point to pay attention to.
