First Look: ASICS Skateboarding Teases 'Wear-Away' Japan Pro in White/Illusion Blue
The powers that be at Asics Skateboarding continue to push creative shoe design with the their latest Japan Pro colorway in White/Illusion Blue—a shoe that evolves the more you skate it.
At first glance, the clean white upper delivers a simple, classic look straight out of the box. But beneath the surface is where the real surprise lies, with a blue layer that gradually reveals itself the more you skate them. No pair is the same! These are so rad. Take a look:
"Keep white or skate until blue," Asics mentions in the caption. You have my attention. We've seen a few other brands experimenting with this wear-away concept, and in fairness, they've all been bangers. But I've yet to see one fade from white to blue, so these definitely standout.

It’s been rad watching Asics really come into its own over the past year in the skateboarding world.
I never had doubt, but they’ve continued to prove they’re in it for the right reasons—putting skateboarding first across the board, from the team and the videos to the shoes themselves.
The brand continues to prove they’re here to stay with flavorful drops like this. The Japan Pro might be one of the the brand’s most sought-after silhouettes, and I’ve been seeing more and more of skateboarding’s finest rocking them.
Every drop feels thoughtful and intentional, and these bangers fit right in with that momentum. Hit your local shop and do what you do!
