I'm testing a pair of the vegan Emerica Templeton x Heritic's in the syn. poly-suede for their March 2014 release.
Had em a few months now. They actually skate really well. Good board feel for a cupsole but, still feel like a cupsole.
I've never been big on cups, but this ones a nice alternative for the vegans - the shoe is absolutely INDESTRUCTIBLE!
Space age material this new poly-syn. suede is. Super flexible, super durable and light as fuck!
It's almost too comfortable for me to skate in if that makes any sense. 25 years of thin vulcs, stiff moon boot cups, accepting things like bruised feet and blisters and then now these new Emerica Templeton Heritic's feel like angels on yer feet, like a too good to be true thing. Specially for a vegan. They'll be out in a few months.
