Luigino Racing is run by the
same people that started the powerhouse inline company Verducci USA, in
1997. They started off as World Champion speed skaters (1986-2004) with
a vision to revolutionize the skate industry, making products that would
enhance physical performance and increase enthusiasm towards skating.
Luigino Verducci started in his shop hand-making only one boot at a
time, while still managing to produce hundreds of women’s dress shoes
per week. Needless to say, it was overwhelmingly repititious compared to
the sporting goods industry. His expertise in making lasts, designing
models and working with feet, exponentially moved along the success of
Verducci USA. This Success was carried over when rebuilding the
powerhouse company they once owned into what is now known as Luigino
Racing.
Their expertise and obsession to produce the best skates in the world
have been crucial pieces to becoming recognized as the best skate
manufacturer on the planet.
