This is the last pair of Emerica's I had in the neighborhood of 10 years ago - The Heretic. Seems like a million years ago...


i had these exact same ones and they were also the last ones i had.

pretty sure the first thing any of you should do when you go into your shop is say "yo dude, give me a deal on some black and white sti shoes"..

black and white simple shoes are the way to go.

i'm skating the hsu 2 and they're rad as fuck. look like some cons.
the new westgate's look rad too.

People love to see and pick up colorful shoes on a shoe wall but always pick black,grey or navy. Usually black.
Emerica stopped making crazy shoes because no shops would prebook them and they sure didn't move at store level for regular price.

The idea that people don't buy colorful shoes is fucking retarded.

Look at Supra. They be selling like a mothafucka and they have mad colorways.

But those are supras, not emericas.
Different customers usually.
The skaters I see wearing supras usually stick with the amigo or stacks in simple colorways.

The idea that people grown men don't buy colorful shoes is fucking retarded makes perfect sense.

Look at Supra. They be selling like a mothafucka to a bunch of hipsters and they have mad colorways.

I'm a "grown" man and I fuck with various colorful joints. I know I'm not the only one.

Fuck wit' me!


+You say that Emerica sells to a separate demographic but that is strange, seeing how they used to have wider range of colors in than most companies. What changed?

I would also like to point out that "grown" men are a very small demographic in skateboarding and Emerica's image appeals to younger kids in the first place.

With a shoe named "G-CODE" you cannot convince me otherwise.

The more boring the better to me. I'm skating the hsu 2's and they are a solid shoe. The best colorways ever to me are black with white or with gum sole.

I dont care what anyone says, but the best Emericas were the Ellingtons, and the Reynolds 2.

These are awesome. The only thing that bothers me is the sole that wears out so damn fast. The upper part looks brand new and i already have to get a new pair Angry

I cant believe people are hating on emerica. With all the shit about "core" that
goes on in this place.
Emerica make great looking, great to skate in shoes. They support a massive team,
and have never not been 100% skate.

Emerica made some of the best shoes. The Reynolds, Ellingtion, MJ's, etc. I just bought the Hsu 2 lows. Love them and I don't mind the boring colors. I only buy black shoes anyways. The shoe designs they have been releasing have been shit, too many thin vulcs.

The last two pairs of Emerica's I had sucked dick. The sole detached from the shoe around the heel on both pairs, Reynold's and Herman's. This was back in like 08-09 probably. I havn't fuck with them since.

Seriously, so many people on here were bitching about eS going out of business and trying to be super "core" but now you complain about one of the only companies that have stayed true to skateboarding over the years? Fuck slap has some twisted logic.

im not asking for vomit-inspired colorways, i just want more options than generic vulc models. Emerica's lack of cupsole shoes is hurting them.

I don't think so. With all the "Chill" shoes they make (wino and stuff), it seems like their vulcs are serving them the best. Probably not skaters who buy them, but considering they have to compete with the likes of Vans, Adidas, and Nike, it makes sense they have to do that.

yea but they still need to cater to more types of skaters. compare it a car company only making 2-door vehicles without any trucks or SUV's. there are plenty of people who like the brand itself but arent buying the actual shoes just because they dont make any models that appeal to them & their style of skating.
