Haven’t heard anyone speak on that model.
 My legacy slims were as good of a shoe as I’ve had, might go that way as dunks are too difficult/expensive.
Wheats always nice

Looking at this post made me have that feeling of when you start noticing skateboarders because of their shoes when you first start.
Although most people aren't skating DC, especially that model, it looks way more individual and a skate shoe more than most of the shoe posts now days. I am a sucker for Brown/Gum.

Yeah they actually feel a lot like Dunks and fit very similarly. The sole is very flexible and the upper materials are durable and high quality, I recommend trying a pair.

I agree… That’s what I love about these shoes, they look like skate shoes, the kind you see on someone else and go, “oooohhhh, those are dope.”

Damn. These are so sick. I wore Lakai's the last decade. Does DC's fit similar? I am a 7.5 in Lakai

[Ok]

My last lakai shoe, and first in ....10 ish years was the proto. I liked the shoe. Little narrow. Skated well, materials were decent. It’s $75 ish dollar shoe, but lakai was trying to get that $100 Nike money. Can’t see it.
I feel like I wear a 10 in dunks, Jordan’s, 9.5 af1s, 10.5 in lakai and dc cupsoles. Not sure if that helps. If you have been 7.5 in lakai vulcs, which used to bag out quick for me (bagged out fresh outta the box.....’out of the box’ is a fucking annoying, stupid, OFT repeated phrase. Fuck) than I’d go .5 size up in cup soles. Ish.
Interested to hear others thoughts on this

Thank you so far mate.

I'm currently skating the Spanky G6 too. The thin upper with level of cushioning in the sole is such a good combo. I messed around in photoshop and made a higher cut version. Would be my perfect shoe.

Yeah I would buy these if they made them. I also agree about the lack of midtop cupsoles. I'm finishing a pair of Cons Fastbreaks and it seems like they're one of the only mid cupsole options around, and even then they're hard to find.

My first Lakai ever (I think) was the proto. Like it a lot, aside from the heel blisters it gave me during the break in process. Little bit of shoegoo and it has lasted forever. Just poked a hole thru the sole last session though.

I gotta disagree on the DC/Lakai vs Nike sizing though. Proto I’m a 9 and DC cupsoles I’m 9, though the legacy 98s have the slightest bit of extra room in the toes (toebox is a lil taller, not longer) while the Kalis S is nice and snug. T-Funks in 9 feel kinda huge on me. I don’t have any dunks anymore but my AF2s are very snug on me in size 9. Busenitz 9 fit well while shit like Supra and Vans I’m 8.5.

edit: I def agree on the vulc vs cupsole sizing. Vulc I need .5 down. They fit longer.

[gaunting]

20 years of skating, and I can honestly say, these are probably the worst fucking shoes I’ve ever skated in. so fucking clunky and stiff. been skating almost every day for the past month, they still don’t feel broken in. shit, Elijah doesn’t even skate them. lmao

At least talk about it in a meeting. Those look gorgeous, and nobody offers mid cupsole options right now.

Another vote for more mid-top cupsoles over here. And that Spanky G6 looks perfect as a mid.

Worst shoes ever. I had them and God I hated them. Heavy, no flick at all and that horrible pebble magnet sole... Imagine if you step on dog poo

[jay_nev]

New 913. Materials and construction are top notch.  Taking a couple days to break them in and really feel the midsole/cushion.

that’s the first thing I thought when I saw the sole pattern. lmao I just don’t understand how someone can spend years developing a shoe, and they are happy with that outcome. thankfully they were gifted to me.

Kalis S, so comfy.

Got the white leather ones. One of the best shows I've ever skated in my life.

I got the Emerica Dickson's in the burgundy and they are nice. I know they are a suped up Wino but they also remind me of the Reynolds 3 vulc. Very comfy.

Thanks for the support and I hope you like them! Just started skating them myself and couldn't be more stoked.

This is such a no brainer.
It’s a small change that tackles a niche that doesn’t have a lot to offer right now “simple midtop cupsoles”. No need of new molds, no drastic design changes, you can literally make a sample by sending that pic to the factory and worst case scenario do 1 more round of changes to perfect it. make 2colorways per season (keep the B/W as a carryover), charge more 5 to 10$ (Depending on the material) and you have the consumer happy with little to no investment. I’m pretty sure even spanky would be down for this shoe.

Piggybacking this comment to say switching the sole on the upcoming shoe 'the pillar' would keep these same benefits, no design changes and no new molds, while offering a slightly lower and techier model. The is an absence of mid-top and high-top cupsoles in the market and Emerica could really capitalize on it.

Well, actually changing the sole of the upper is trickier than you think. If the last used on the upper is different from the one in the tooling you gotta adjust the whole upper to make it fit the new last. I don’t know how many lasts emerica uses but I’m pretty sure the Pilar uses a different type of last than that cupsole because you need a metal last for vulcanisation (the pilar is a vulc shoe).
