Interesting the pair in the trick image look trashed… crazy dirty, Ollie hole, ripped laces already been replaced once. . And he changed into a fresh pair for the model shot

Don’t look so bad on foot in the back smith. But some of the angles of the other shots aren’t doing it for me

[close]

White dirty and thrashed shoes almost always look good IMO. This is no exception.

With black lacwa they look better but still....Those are so bad that make Cariumas look kinda good

Nothing can make a Cariuma look good....

Sorry for the spam but we just dropped a little edit for the Phocus G6.

[GAY]

Nah, spam away EmericaTM. This is the place for it.

Not totally confident about that toebox (correct term?), but this is the most interesting shoe design I've seen out of Emerica in years and I'm stoked on it. If I wore white shoes I'd be considering it...the black version is pretty rad looking but also avoid white outsoles.

Awesome work! I'm excited about this possible new direction. Would love to love Emerica again.

[Made In China]

Whoever made that edit killed it. Perfect song choice and just the right balance of clips and quick lifestyle shots of the new shoes. I'll admit that I'm still not the biggest fan of the shoes themselves, but that edit really showcased them well.

Thanks GAY! I totally get what you mean but I am stoked it's not the same basic vulcanized silhouette we've been known to put out. Appreciate the kind words, definitely trying to take things in a classic yet new direction.

I made this one so thank you. Truly appreciate the kind words and this was a really fun to one to shoot and edit. As we know this shoe is quite "different" from our usual shoe so on the marketing side, I really wanted to do something that was different not just the shoe but in every other aspect as well from the music, style of skating, look, etc. All of that combined was to give off an on-brand yet refreshing feel to hopefully bring attention to not only the shoe and make it as appealing as possible, but to the brand in general. Stoked you enjoyed it!

[Kook Me Amadeus]

Good vibes!

Suprised no one has been told to “Phocus” in this thread yet 

[opesorry]

Finally got a pair of these, hyped. A little bulkier than I expected and I’ll probably switch out the laces for some thinner ones but can’t wait to skate them

[moonordie]

Anybody tried the OG ones?
They look, at least leather wise, poor quality and sure I won't want to get my heart broke by Emerica again.

+1 on this
I've been eyeing them for a hot minute but want to know before I pull the trigger.

Snagged the Gammas for ~$25 before shipping. Fits true to size and the sock liner is nice and snug. Not loving the green logo patch on the tongue tho so if it doesn't grow on me, I'll cut that off

I saw they added 20% off the sale price, so I might have to get a pair myself.

[Paco Supreme]

An update on the OJ slips.

That logo melts and picks away pretty cleanly.

How is the sizing of KSL and Vulcano compared to Marana and Joslin?
I am 8 in Marana and Joslin, 7.5 in superstar, blazers.

[Xen]

No difference between josl1n and KSL that I can recall.

I wear a US10 and had them both in a 10. Similar fit.

[SlapTM]

For everyone who is wanting KSLs, the new throwback colorway just arrived and are available and will be arriving at shops soon.

[Kook Me Amadeus]

The black and gum Josl1ns looks pretty nice but if I ever got them I’d have to take a permenant black marker to blot out the little Etnies claw stamped beside the laces.

Thanks for letting us know!  Fascinating colorway.

[Kook Me Amadeus]

Not sure when they released but the Omen Lo is a very tasteful shoe.

I am just one person, so grain of salt take here:

Joslin/Josl1n and Marana run 0.5 size small for me.

I'm 11 in Blazers, Dunks, KSL, Superstars, and most Vans vulcs.

I'm 11.5 in Joslin and Marana

Never tried Vulcano but it looks to be TTS since most of Emerica's vulcs tend to be TTS for me (Wino G6, Wino G6 Slip, Pillar)
My conclusion:
KSL = TTS
Marana/Joslin = 0.5 size small

Definitely snagging them. Is it just me or does the tongue seem bigger on them?  If so I'm down. The puffier the tongue the fresher the fool

[Cesspool86]

Emerica simp alert.  If you like thin cupsoles then give the Romero a go

Tongue looks diff more puffy and mesh. Silhouette of shoe looks diff on the top down view from the pair I have honestly looks better like they dialed some things in since release.

I really don't need more new shoes but part of me wants a pair of the silver Romero Laced Skaters because they're so crazy.

Also a sneak peak at the upgrades on the regular romeros for those of you who don’t frequent the vegan shoes thread

The last pair of these i had absolutely tore my achilles to shreds because the heel curved into my tendon with barely any padding, has that been updated?

Me too. Those were totally unwearable for that reason. Hope they fixed that because I really like the silhouette of that shoe.
