On the supra euro site there are 2 more colourways of the new GRECO shoe, an all black and a mahogany with black sole
https://suprafootwear.eu/products/05897-001-m
Nice find, gotta say they both look even worse than the blue suede ones.
The black shoe reminds me of rain boots. Mixing leather with suede is not a recipe for success...
The brown one really highlights the terrible stacking design.
For all colors, the top-down view of them looks good but the side view is garbage.

I really liked how the Romero Laced looked. My feet absolutely hated them though. The worst shoe I've worn in ages. Just didn't work for me at all. That new shoe doesn't look nearly as good as the Laced.  :-\

Well he had a pro shoe but wore the laced more and then they gave it to him. Kinda a like a reverse Marana/any shoe Etnies used to market with Sheckler. Other than that once you swap the insole the shoe fits better.
Nothing I do deserves more than an iphone camera.

alright real talk who has skated these? are they gonna pass my ankle? need answers i think they look nice.

My friend just bought a pair, I'll let you know, if he's wearing 'em next time we skate
They *barely* pass his ankle, he says they've got great support though.

I saw your mom do a ollie to cooch drop straight down the big black pole, it was gnarly. she defiantly shut that shit down

Those new Leos look good. Basically his first shoe with a shifter reserve sole (which feels great) and no adidas stripes
can't wait to get my hands on these new ones. simple and versatile. if it really is based off the Shifter, it'll be a cupsole G6. Emerica should have done this years ago.

Is it just me or have releases been slow and disappointing lately?

Leo Romero put up a shoe on his instagram earlier, maybe a new model for him. Hopefully they keep the laced around, but Emerica seemes pretty hell bent on selling off what they had just the other week


Looks like another attempt at his second shoe.

Those new Romeros actually look pretty good. Looks like the same cupsole that's on the new Shifter boot, which is grippy, flexible, and has good boardfeel. The upper looks comfier than the original with better heel lock. I imagine it has the G6 insole like the Shifter as well.

Why does that Greco shoe have to have that unnecessary double stacking? One would have been okay but that just makes it look stupid..

Also that black leather color way is fucking hideous.. Who ok'd that?

That Romero shoe is nothing special but I like leo and emerica so it's okay

The same company that gave Li'l Wayne a skate shoe line...although I think ownership changed between then and now. What was that line called, again? Kondor? Trukkkfit?

I think those Leo 2's or "Romeros" (if i remember correctly) had an even shorter lifespan than the Braydon Sza pro model

New Leo's look like a legit updated reissue in line w/ what Emerica has been going for lately.
(Think reissued Reynolds 3 & the not released to the public Jamie Thomas pro model reissue)

I loved the first Leo, but is there really a demand for another shoe from him? Hopefully this means some sort of Leo part in the near future!

Yeah the brown pair were called the romero while the black cup was called the leo 2. I don't think either were around for that long, were they?

Those Braydon Hi's were on everybody feet when I was in high school. I thought they were so fucking ugly.

Same here.  That caught me totally by surprise.

I remember the Leo 2, but wasn't that right around when they first started rolling out the G6 and the Higher Quality campaign?  I remember the Romero was out really briefly, then they brought back the Leo 1, and then he was kinda without a pro model for a while and just started skating the Laced basically exclusively.

The Emerica Troubadour & there was the Troubadour Low as well (I believe the Lo had their "chiller" Wino sole).

I had a pair of these and they lasted me like a week and a half. I was so disappointed in the quality. After the first session they had a hole in the ollie area.. Actually these might be the last pair of emericas it I have owned..
