Inspired by the VICKKA training shoe from the 1970s, the ASICS Skateboarding Gel Vickka Pro Skate Shoes are revamped with skate-specific functionality. Made with a suede upper in a cupsole construction, these shoes help increase stability just as it was originally intended. Perforations on the toe box allow ventilation to keep your feet cool while the perforations on the insole promote inner center of gravity to improve board stability. GEL technology is placed in the heel to increase impact protection helping you to keep skating longer.
