Luigino Racing


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.
