This is from 1998, toe looks more pointy

That's how I remember them. I had those a lot between 2004 and 2008. Were those the same during that time?

Nope, the shape got worse around 2005-2006. Same thing happened to Kostons.

Is it also possible different colourways just for differently or like dunks they just look different on different people?

I remember trying on a pair in early 00s and they were insanely big even by that times standards. Pretty sure I picked a pair of Rodney mullen 4s instead

There was definitely an Accel revamp sometime between the release in the pics and the early 2000s but they somehow managed to make it even worse.

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.

The total lack of durability was interesting, too.

I like that spanly high, wonder what the sole will feel like if it isnt the G6

Not as great but hopefully decent.

They did have that period of time where they were making a few cupsole shoes, like the Westgate and Reynolds G6s, that were ahead of their time and before cupsoles became popular again. I think that if those shoes were released a little bit later, Emerica might be in a little bit better of a spot now.

I remember in 2005 when the PJ Ladd Accel Boston colorway came into our shop and half the toes were pointy, and half were the snubby round ones. Even on the same size pair lol. This all started when they came out with those shitty STI insoles the crumbled after a week.
