Performance doesn’t start at kickoff.
It starts earlier: in preparation, stability, protection and the confidence built through every detail. Founded in February 2018 by brothers Andrea and Cristian Di Leo, GEARXPro turns that principle into a connected performance system, from one anti-slip sock to a range spanning grip, protection, stability, compression, recovery and women’s performance.
Two brothers. Two perspectives. One company.
Cristian Di Leo lived the problem on the pitch: the instant the foot slips inside the shoe and a fraction of a second changes a play. As a professional footballer he felt it match after match, where preparation meets performance. His answer was technical: silicone arrows and inserts engineered to reduce micro-movement between foot, sock and shoe. SOXPro was born.
An effective product is only half a company. Andrea Di Leo built the other half: development, certifications, organisation, logistics, distribution and international vision. Cristian reads the athlete’s needs; Andrea builds the system that turns an intuition into a brand. GEARXPro was born from the integration of product and organisation, pitch and market.
Precision before pressure
In sport, lateral jumps, sharp changes of direction and rapid deceleration demand absolute control. Micro-movements inside the shoe, fractions of a second and millimetres of slip, compound under pressure. GEARXPro engineering removes that distraction so athletes can trust their setup in the moments that matter most.
Real problems, protected solutions
GEARXPro’s credibility is not built on customising existing products. It rests on technical solutions developed and protected around real athlete problems.

The grip technologyA precise layout of silicone arrows and inserts increases adhesion between foot and shoe, reduces micro-slips and steadies acceleration, stops and changes of direction.

Football InsoleMilestones
GEARXPro is founded
Andrea and Cristian Di Leo found GEARXPro in Italy, uniting first-hand experience in professional sport with product development and the ability to build an international organization. The first grip socks — SOXPro Classic and Low Cut — ship the same year.
The technology is protected
The brand’s core technologies — the SOXPro grip system and the AntiShock+ thermoplastic-gel platform — are filed and protected. Credibility built on engineering, not on customizing what already exists.
Plus X Award
SOXPro Ultra Light — about 30 grams, knitted in recycled Newlife yarn — earns the Plus X Award for High Quality, Functionality and Ergonomics.
Olympic gold in Tokyo
Lorenzo Patta runs the opening leg of Italy’s gold-winning 4×100 relay at the Tokyo Games. A symbolic moment that carries GEARXPro onto the Olympic stage — and into SOXPro Sprint, developed with him.
Captain Tsubasa
A licensed collaboration brings a dedicated teamwear and shin-guard line to life — sport culture, storytelling and product development in one project.
ISPO Award
