Hanging Out With... Asics in NYC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- A couple of weeks ago Asics hit us up (cats out the bag, we’re working with them) letting us know that two of their Japanese riders, brothers Takuya and Yuta Ishizuka, would be visiting New York City.
While we scribbled down must-see spots, we gathered a crew of local Asics friends, including Evan Wasser, Kyota Umeki, and Joey Marrone, and geared up for tour guide mode.

Stopped into Cafe Bella a couple years ago having no idea who owned the place and got very confused when the only decoration on the wall was a picture of Gino.
You literally had nothing to lose asking.
this made me want a pair of Asics
Just skated a pair for the first time and they’re pretty damn good shoes
I love this video, 2:40 was crazy! But Asics should've gotten a translator for them. They're in NYC, must be loads of people who can speak both Japanese and English.
but bro! he doesn't speak english! that means the rules don't apply to him and he's too dumb to know any better! as if it's any different in america than it is in japan! don't you know how that's how us westerners gotta infantilize everybody like that now? we treat everyone as if they're children!
I think that was just psychological warfare against the security guard
I thought the same thing.
They could also just get google translate on their phone and fully communicate back and forth .
@@andylowe447 1:48 "Things were definitely lost in Google Translation", so.. not fully communicating back and forth.
It's a shit substitute for a real translator, especially with the difference in English to Japanese. Sure you can say words, but whole sentences.. nah.
Something non skate related, like hanging out with Gino
That’s kind of all I wanted to see, just a regular sit down with Luigi to discuss what’s going on with the Asics family.
You should watch some type of vlog channel that isn’t related to skating if you want non skated related content
Dang this dude just called Gino not skate related_them fightin words
Dang this dude just called Gino not skate related_them fightin words
Asics Skateboarding team in California doing non skate related stuff be like:
Eating at Pizzanista.
Zander is such a beast! Best style, def one to watch out for
Good to see Takuya come back from that leg injury.
"It's like better than a Street League trophy"
Damn TRUE!
The Kids are killing it and love Gino 🔥❤
Crazy, didn't even know Asics had a skate team
For some months
one of the best teams atm
They recently put out a video part on thrasher a while ago kind of announcing it. It's pretty sick!
*Edit*
It's called TOTAL ACTUAL COMFORT and it's on thrasher
every corporation has a skate team now
O
Good to see GINO. IANUCCI.💛
That framed photo of the backside Ollie is at Stony Brook University in Long Island. I grew up skating there and I gotta tell you that bank was steep as hell, short, no tranny at the bottom at all. As far as I know Gino is the only person who ever did anything out of it like that. He also did a BS nose slide on the top of the vert wall. Most people just carved the bank without ever getting to the vert part. It had inside corners and assorted angle hips. I was the only one in my crew to drop in on it and get a lil edger grind on the top of the vert. But to Ollie out of it is totally insane and was unthinkable back then. They bulldozes it years back, but before they did the "Lecture Center" was the shit. Also had a three level pyramid all waxed up nice and tons of other great spots on that campus. Parking garages with Manny pads and curbs when it rained. Also had great live shows there. Saw The Ramones, Biggie, Siousie and the Banshees, They Might be Giants... many more. When I think of the spots there in the context of what skaters are doing nowadays my mind goes nuts with the possibilities. Hubbas all over, stairs, double sets, did my first handrail there as well. I'm stoked he has that photo hanging up. Gino was a local hero along with Ben Liversedge and Matt Bell. But Gino is still Gino.
Front tail as well in chocolate tour
@@flapstones wow.
Very enjoyable! Thanks a Million!
how did he not completely destroy this knee on that bail, that was insane!
Totally, I thought he was done done for the trip after that fall. Ahhh to be young
@@Thisisdarkdata young and Japanese. they're built different.

You need somebody like me on the team, speaking fluent Japanese, English, and another Asian language, U.S. educated, MBA degree, skating for 20 years.

"better than a sls trophy" sure! hahah soo good
“Better than a Street League trophy”😂😂
Zander is on a another level! I am just subscribed to your channel from The Nine Club 💯👍🔔
GREAT VIDEO AND VIBES, KEEP IT UP 🔥
Kinda crazy someone somewhere in the pipeline (Asics, jenkem, a fuckin local) didn’t get a translator involved; it’s NYC every language in the world is spoken here, it’s just kinda inconsiderate and alienating to willfully bring these homies around strangers and a new city and not do all you can to get em more fully integrated
Asics, a Japanese company with branches around the world. It's insane lol. Just get the cheapest translator, wtf are these guys even thinking.
I remember skating that big ass handrail at 1 POLICE PLAZA. same thing cops tryin to kick you out &
I watched Harold Hunter just blasted the nicest nose slide down it … this was the days just as Zoo / Supreme days was startin to blow up. Good memories.
keep them coming
how does jenkem not have access to even one japanese guy in new york to hang out with them for a day
Zanderrrrrrrrr
Discovered that Mark Humienik a few months back. Wow, what an excellent skateboarder.
5:55 almost came watching the nollie flip and noliie heel
zander mitchell steady killing it
The end 😂
the noise of the first olie 😯
1:04 that tre flip got lost in the 4th dimension
Music selection on this is fuckin nice 👍
ASICS shoes are of high quality and are truly the best.
Joe Bataan! Much respect
"he doesn't speak any English" well you tell him. "I don't speak Japanese either" LMAO
Joey blunt kickflip .. Oh my days
Couldn’t understand each other but it didn’t matter. Skateboarding is a universal language.
Ariel pink ❤
hope to see a zander shoe in a couple years
Tak!
Joey!!!
clip at 6:21 takes the crown for me ima have to try that one
Just tell Asics to bring the gel-vickka pro black/white back! I need those shoes and cant find em anywhere!!!!
What ASICS are they skating? I collect gel lyte V models with the one piece tongue but didn’t know they made skate shoes!?
Asics Onitsuka Tiger baby!!!!!
dude the street league shots haha
The overcrook was cool
how did you not find someone who spoke japanese to translate? you know asics has the money.
haha adds an element of adventure i guess
Wait so his knee is fine right
100%
What Gino said is worth his body weight in gold
"He doesn't speak any English."
"Well then you tell him!"
"I don't speak Japanese either."
top tier
Cool! Was it filmed with the AX100?
Where the hell do you get those black and white ASICS. I need them but can’t find them anywhere!

Does ASICS make their shoes in sweatshops? Asking for a friend

Where‘s Walker? Would be such a addition to the edit.
Walker moved from NYC late in 2023 and I think he moved back to his home town. He would of made this video Soo great I agree

If the Japanese language is the issue, why not bring @LuisMora from Erased along for the trip. ❤
