Emerica containment thread

Still think KSL G6 is my favorite shoe in years.  Too bad I didn't stack more of them.

agreed! I’ve got one more pair on ice but I’m using my current pair long past the point where I’d usually rotate them out

If you spend enough time digging, you can still find a number of sizes for some colors online. I still see them here and there, most not in my size, though

Zappos, Amazon, and select skate shops I've been to/seen online still have them: All White This is Skateboarding & Black/Tan/Orange

Maybe your size is sold everywhere tho if you've checked already?

Google shopping. It will web crawl through a lot of storefronts, and you can filter by size.

I see a lot of KSL’s too at shops around the Interwebs

Skating my third pair of figgy g6s right now and it got me curious to know if any other colorways of that shoe are coming out this year? Or any shoes slated for release this year with the g6 cupsole?

[close]

Last we heard, they're phasing out the G6 cupsole so I'd assume the releases are going to start to slow down. So you might want to grab what you can.

Goddammit that sucks. The g6 cupsole is greatest thing emericas done in a while, sucks to hear. I guess I’ll buy as many all black figgys I can then.

[close]

The Spanky Hi has the G6 cupsole, just with a different foam (I think). They're out in July I believe.

[close]

Not really a fan of hi tops, but unfortunately I think it’s using the same sole as the gamma. So no g6 foam but a generic foam midsole…

Just spotted on insta. Certainly looks like the G6 sole.

EmericaTM (rip) confirmed in this thread a few months ago that those highs will have the G6 sole but the foam would be replaced with more generic EVA foam. It would be cool if Emerica changed that but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Sorry if this has already been posted, but the placeholder for the Heritic "reissue" is up on their website. Love that colorway, and that price. Also looks like the same midsole, outsole, and tread pattern as the OG-1. I know a lot of people didn't like it, but it has worked well for me so far on the OG-1's I'm currently skating. I'll definitely buy a pair if my local shop gets them in my size, and if not there, then from some other local shop's website.

No one asked for this

I’m glad they brought out a figgy in normal black/white over the shake junt colourway.

Only thing left on the proper G6 cup unless they drop more slip ons.

I wish that (and not the grey/ red) was the vegan colorway …

[el chino]

That OG sole could work perfectly for a reynolds 2 reissue, name it the "dos" and call it a day.

Peekaboo!  E Sees you!

So the Dakota went from the g6 cupsole to a standard vulc with the g6 foam insole like the wino slips. But also changed the upper? They look wider but pointier.. but bulky through that v shape, weirdly double layered and a fake-almost a lace up

[Paco Supreme]

Dakota also appears to have tiny feet. Dude posted a box full of 7.5s

Slip cups are currently on sale on their website, for those wanting to stock up

I wonder if they had to retool the upper when they changed the sole.

Part was sick, but not sure if I'm feeling these. Looks like most sizes are sold out, so that's good to see.

Appreciate you keeping it real @grassblade - speak your truth, sir.  Your opinion matters to me.  Otherwise I could be tempted to believe the black Dakota might look half okay on foot. 

Do we actually think it's selling out, or just super limited stock on the site?  Dakota does have 100k instagram followers but skeptical he could move product like that.  Maybe dropping an impressive video part really still moves the needle?  I could also see children liking the shoe.

Laced up a new pair of KSL's after running my last pair bald.  Still have a nice little stash.  I love this shoe.  Hoping whatever pro model Reynolds is putting together for NB approaches this level of comfort.  My knees need it.  The way he talks about adding better insoles to shoes like the 440 gives me hope the shoe he's developing can match the performance of the pour-in G6 cupsoles.  Or hoping the new regime at Emerica can eventually somehow make something else that approaches the KSL's comfort (etnies and the Joslin shoe just aren't for me).

The green is always going to be a part of the brand. It’s part of our DNA. It’s more about being a little grittier. A little more DIY or analogue. With many of the brands out there right now, everyone has a really clean and kind of simple aesthetic. For us to stand out, I feel like taking a kind of rawer approach. It represents where we are as a brand. We’re gonna get our hands dirty rebuilding. It’s all hands on deck.

 

[Daydream]

We have been really good at making a black and white vulcanised shoes. But our goal is to make the line diverse enough that it’ll appeal to any type of skateboarder. We want to make Emerica a brand for all skateboarders. That’s the goal. The great thing about Emerica is that we have authentic history. Emerica has been around. What’s become kind of cool in skating right now harks back to a certain era and we were there. We have people that want to work with us again.

I had his shoes eight or nine years ago, and have nothing against him. Those shoes were decent for vulcs, but my decision was based on frugality.

I rolled my ankle so bad in the KsL G6 so I come in this thread from time to time just to be bewildered by how it is so many peoples favorite shoe. I wear it as a chiller/dog walker from time to time and I can’t comprehend how anyone would prefer this over a NB# cupsole. There is no support it feels like you are standing on a large flat wedge of foam with no arch support or heel lock. But hey, everyone’s got different feet.

For the G6 lovers on here - Holistic skate shop still has available stock of KSL G6 (white leather and black/white/green colorways) and the Spanky G6 (wine colorway) models. I'm posting this because I had a brief but positive interaction today with the shop owner and Lakai sales rep, JD, when I purchased a pair of the Servolds. JD informed me he was stoked to see the Servold shoes sell as he's an ardent supporter of Dakota and Emerica.

Can get both those from Ruze Shoes on eBay for like $35 shipped. Idk what it is with Holistic but they have product from like 4 years ago for full boat. I could imagine their back room must be stacked with stuff. Someone tell them it’s okay to offload and make something instead of nothing.

he's not lying but only size 9.5 and 10

Spanky g6 white leather $43 free shipping

Just had a look through the Spring and Summer 24 Catalogs, they've dropped the Pillar? Why, It's the best midtop they do?
