what do you think the bmx shoes were a bad knock off of? Skate shoes from the bulky era

[Stoop Kid 2.0]

so amazing and now available on tactics

I cant wait till these arrive on my doorstep on tuesday.

[b.v.]

They fit true to size fyi, hope you didn't order them 1/2 size smaller like campus vulcs.

[StFlour]

Abp? They look like 3 other shoes that Nike has.

Yeah, I didn't hear about them or see them anywhere but they're out now on CCS for 65$ which is record low for Nike. Almost identical to Braata's, Janoski's, and like you said the Team Edition 2's.

^yeah two other colorways coming spring: http://emerica.com/catalogs/fall13-footwear/emerica-fall-13-footwear-hires.pdf
takes a while to load but emerica is killing it

Emerica is killing it!! Skating some Jinxes right now, and they are fucking good, I can only imagine how good the newer shoes are going to be. I really want those Reynolds lows and the g6

Ripped Laces responded to a comment a couple weeks back and I thought it sounded too far fetched but now its obviously true:

I heard about the quality drop but jeez leave it to Nike to knock off its own shoe. Don't Do It.

Well actually I heard that Janoski sold his name to Nike so they don't have to pay him royalties for it.. I think they're just making different versions of it because it was successful and they want to expand that success to other price ranges - as well as perhaps a decrease in the Janoski's quality for a bigger profit margin since the shoe already built it's reputation. Never had any though, so I can't say about the decrease in quality.

For any marketing nuts on this thread, if you ever need a really fantastic example to help explain cannibalization, don't forget to thank Nike.

Nike probably has the top designers in the shoe game period, and they have 3 shoes out right now that are pretty much the same. 2 of them being almost identical.

If this doesn't show people that Nike is in it for the money, I don't know what will......

[Stu Hutch]

It's weird to think the top Nike guy has such an eye for skateboarding (ie that he made such a demand for Janoski), I wonder who it is on all the biggest shoe companies that pick the sickest teams, that job position is so weird to me for some reason.

[RoedGroed]

(The picture isn't even that relevant, I just fucking love it!)

es germany tour 2002, like the most star-studded tour ever

[Donkey Lips]

The Janoski quality drop wasn't a sway to get people to buy the TE2. It was just their effort to increase their profit margin on that shoe. From things I'd heard, nobody at Nike was sour with Stefan at all about his shoe sales, but they actually can't stop singing his praises for his help in grabbing the majority of the skate shoe market. They bought him out with a lump sum because they can, and he took the money because honestly he'll never see an offer like that again in his life.

accualy is no because my hsu 2s had a heel blowout not even halfway through one session. the fact that emerica is switching things up is why everyone is so excited

killing it...I will pick these up for sure

[ZEBRA]

They look nice. I like that the thicker laces are making a comeback a little more lately.

[StFlour]

Got the Black ones. Stylish, cheap, very durable, and great boardfeel. Just the insole is to soft and thin to absorb impact. Like most Fallen insoles. Put an STI insole and was good to go.

[Frassty]

Dont Know If These Were Posted or Not, But 2013 is Looking Like Emericas Year.

[Deekay]

Tight as fuckkkk, does anyone have the whole catalog?
