Description

The GEL-Flexkee Pro 2.0 by New York-based Late Nite Stars was designed specifically for skateboarders. After the ASICS Institute of Sport Science analyzed the movement of skateboarding, the upper was designed with graphite grey suede and a rubber toe cap on top of a dark gum cupsole with a distinctive groove structure designed to allow fine movements of the forefoot while providing better flexibility, grip, and protection. A dual-lacing system coupled with a folded tongue prevents shoelaces from breaking while skating. A dual-density insole keeps your foot centered and stable on the board. Available to shop in-store and online for same day pick up or to be shipped straight to your door at No-Comply Skateshop in downtown Austin, TX - uniquely for skateboarding, uniquely for ASICS.

Technical Component Specification Detail
Design and Collaboration The GEL-Flexkee Pro 2.0 is the result of a collaboration between ASICS and Late Nite Stars, the New York-based creative collective. The silhouette was developed using biomechanical data from the ASICS Institute of Sport Science, which analyzed the specific movement patterns of skateboarding to engineer a shoe built around the demands of the sport rather than adapted from another category. The Black/Graphite Grey colorway is a dark, tonal execution - all-black upper with graphite grey suede paneling - that keeps the technical details of the build visible without going loud.
Upper Construction Heavy-duty premium graphite grey suede panels across the upper with a reinforced rubber toe cap for protection in the highest-wear zone. An asymmetric dual-lacing system combined with a folded lace-guard tongue prevents shoelace breakage during skating - a functional detail specific to the demands of skate use.
Outsole Flexion Innovative multi-grooved forefoot sole pattern engineered from ASICS Institute of Sport Science biomechanical analysis of skateboarding - the groove structure allows fine-tuned forefoot flexibility and movement while improving traction and board feel. Dark gum cupsole construction provides the platform, bonded to the upper via welted construction for long-term durability.
Underfoot Stability Dual-density insole keeps the foot centered and stable on the board while absorbing impact from landings - built specifically around the demands of skateboarding rather than adapted from a running or court platform.
Fit and Sizing True to size. Men's sizing listed with equivalent Women's sizing (Women's runs 1.5 sizes larger). Men's M8 (Women's W9.5) through Men's M13 (Women's W14.5).

WASH & CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Remove loose surface dirt from the suede, rubber, and cupsole using a soft sneaker brush or dry microfiber cloth. Spot clean suede panels carefully using a dedicated suede cleaner or eraser - avoid saturating suede with excessive water. Clean the rubber toe cap with a mild sneaker cleaning solution applied with a soft cloth. Allow to air dry naturally at room temperature away from direct sunlight or high heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.

Lots of board feel, the rubber toe cap seems to make that part of the shoe super durable, and the inner lacing system is protecting them very well which worried me at first because the laces are a bit fragile. I don’t have as much impact protection from the gel as I thought but that’s fine, I want to feel the board when skating transition. The rubber isn’t as sticky as you’d expect despite the shallow treads compared to say of the gum soles from Emerica or Etnies but the boardfeel makes up for it since I’m able to press hard and never have an issue slipping out. Overall, awesome shoe. I can see why all this tech helps! It is a bit specialized and it won’t give you the impact protection of say the Tiago 1010 but it’s my goto for transition now!
