# GEARXPro
> Italian performance brand, founded 2018 by brothers Andrea and Cristian Di Leo. GEARXPro is a technical ecosystem supporting athletes before, during and after performance — spanning grip socks, shin guards, insoles, compression and recovery. The grip-sock innovation, powered by SOXPRO™, is built on the Grip:IN system: silicone grip on the sole and heel that limits in-shoe slip during acceleration, stopping and changes of direction.
