It’s so weird how Emerica design was completely decimated by the most recent "everything vulc" era (which was now a long time ago) and never managed to climb back out. Like holy shit even Vox and Dekline designs were more interesting than what you see on the Emerica site for the last decade plus.
Agreed. It was amazing for me because that was right around the time that I realized I really only liked cupsoles and so I was in heaven because for the longest time, ti was near impossible to find worthwhile cupsoles. Usually the sole was meh but upper looked ok or the upper was awful but the sole was good (never greart - just good). But I was in the minority there.
If they even delayed that big relaunch even by like a year, year and a half I feel it would have been different. I say that because it felt like they fairly quickly after released the Herman G6 as a vulc, the Westgate CC as a more simplified version of the runner toe G6, and the Reynolds Low (as a more simplified reynolds high) and then the vulc version of the Reynolds G6 low.
EDIT: I just remembered too that it was mentioned here apparently, the factory had a major QC issue for the most pre-booked color of the first Herman G6 release. If I remember correctly, the samples and versions Herman / the team / reps had were great, but when it went to full production, the different parts of the sole of the first run in whatever basic color didn't set right and came apart. Other colors weren't really impacted and it got fixed fast, but when the hole campaign is how technical the sole is and how intricate and thoughtout the Herman G6 sole is so you see all the parts, that saps all confidence.
