JT's first pro shoe

[Stylites]

found these when searching for strombolies. forgot about them for a bit

[bothersome]

always wanted the green canvas ones but the shop never had em in my size.
always wondered why jamie left emerica.

[what the]

ugly

[MFS]

i had a pair............they were great. lasted forever, could have been the fact that i was 13 when i had em

[donnie_murdo]

man those were sick i got a black pair in FTC like, fuck, hmmm, 11-12 years ago they were in the bargin bin when i was in sf for a month and half - they were sick, they did last forever to !

[mbcls]

i had a black pair too. really good shoes. last time i ever had a pair of emericas though

[fuckingvegan]

Had some of the blue ones

[Prison Wallet]

I had the blue ones too but for some reason I killed 'em quick 'cause of the way I ollied at the time. Just straight grip tape to canvas, like a pair of chuck ts.

[iriemon]

Ah, damn that takes me back I remember seeing footage of Jamie and some other people rockin them when they first came out black with white laces, I always thought that was proper steeze, all black with white laces...strombollies, cobbnobblers and sal 23s were by far the best skate shoes ever, together totalling probably my first like 20 pair of skate shoes...I could go on for daysss, I'm sure we all could...

[bothersome]

i remember skating with no socks because of jamie's ads and salaman too.

[mbcls]

yeah,  i was gonna mention rockin those with no socks also. pretty stupid though, summertime and no socks, nasty

[beeda weeda]

I remember having those, and having sooo much trouble skating shoes after that b, I "needed" that rubber toe cap. I don't remember them being sooo ugly, but that was 1997...

[k-nutz]

the emerica logo was backwards, jaime was sooooooo punk!

[zeekay]

I had the blue ones. I was so stoked when I got them, I went straight to the park to skate with the new kicks and rolled the shit out my ankle in the first 5 minutes. Ended my summer a little early.

Never skated them again. They went straight to work shoes.

[Bubblegum Tate]

I thought this was jt autlz;s first pro shoe

[toque]

these look pretty cool........kind of like the first templetons........wich i liked in sixth grade

same here, but i'm more of a Salman fan than a JT fan.

[picklesickshuv-it]

were those the ones with the target sign on the back, io remember them looking differant

[Joshewuhh]

I had JT's first Circa shoe ages ago.
Back when skate shoes and b-ball shoes were damn near the same.
Lace loops and air heels... anyone else miss that?

[neko]

god, i hated/still hate rubber toe caps.  worst idea ever

[bert]

one of the best shoes ever.

I'm rocking a pair of the first Reynolds right now, but the re release version called The Boss, in that skate classic black shoe/gum sole.

[Alan]

Those Templetons were nice, probably the only bulky shoe I actually liked.
