Thanks for Posting :)
You can definitely say that Emerica has stepped up their quality. They said Higher Quality and it shows.
After speaking with the head designer over at Emerica and talking to him on various tasks from traveling to the production factories to playing with different oiled suedes, it was clear that shit was going to get serious this year.
As stated in the comment section on the site, (because I've been addressing this for a portion of the day) our results are simply based on how we skated the shoes. I've already received soooo many comments from kids stating that we're full of it and that the review is bogus. I tried explaining to them that we all skate differently, flick differently and so forth. Not to get even more technical, but weather conditions actually effect the reviews as well (for ex. this cold as east coast weather I'm currently enduring) but all and all, I'm happy with the G6 review. It really did prove to me that Emerica is listening to consumers wants and needs. They've rebuild from the bottom up and I can't wait to skate those new Heretics as well, those things look serious.
Hope you all have a happy New Year!

Solid review. Definitely going to pick up a pair.

I gotta say I fully agree with the review, you were also spot on with the puig review too. Glad to see you agree that they deserve to be in the top echelon of skate shoes.
