Its development incorporates input from professional skateboarders and analysis of competitive movements by the ASICS Institute of Sport Science, with designs focused on board control and impact response. The line includes models such as JAPAN PRO and GEL-VICKKA PRO, distinguishing its purpose from general SportStyle shoes that focus on reissues or everyday wear. It serves a role specialized for board sports, distinct from lines for running and walking.
