Blazer, duh

When I said skate shoe companies, I meant companies that exclusively or mainly make skate shoes. I should have specified. I've been firmly in the fuck Nike/Adidas/NB for a while now. But that might have to change. I really don't like the idea of non skate oriented companies essentially having a monopoly on skate shoes. But at the same time they do pay their riders very well. I'm torn on this tbh.

They’re the shoes worn on the cover of the first Thrasher back in 81

Damn dude those are right up my alley, thanks man! When/where did this company come from, and who runs it? Never even heard of them. I'm definitely about to grab those high tops.

I wish there were more high tops from skate shoe companies. And not that flimsy Chuck Taylor style high top either. I want at least a litle padding on the ankles, and something better than a basic vulc sole. I'm on my 6th pair of Newport hi's from lakai, and I can't find anything else worth skating. Before they came out I was skating sk8-hi pro's for years, but the last few pairs of those I had fell apart super fast.

Rad dude from Portland started it maybe 3 years ago? Shawn Baravetto, an ex Nike guy who has been skateboarding forever. He runs it out of his garage basically, truly a skater owned operation. Worth supporting!! He posts on here when anyone has questions about his stuff, in a Proper thread.

I was all "fuck nike" too. Then my feet started to get fucked. Once I tried on some Blazer mids it was all over. They really are the best.

They ain't "core" but their product is far above the rest. The first pair of skate shoes that haven't made my feet sore in 5 years.

Don't be like me and wait forever. I regret being so loyal to brands that made subpar quality shit.

Take care of your feet man.

agreed was thinking the same

Was ready to cop a pair but, didn’t see them.

But adding to the Gravis. I barely missed Gravis and I hate myself for not starting skating earlier (even if I’ve wouldn’t have saved a pair)

My feet are fine, especially after I started using footprint insoles (founded by skaters). Thanks for caring.

I know Sus already posted but we've got the Omen Hi which is actually a bit cheaper than the Blazer. There is a the Winkowski colorway which is vegan and has a rubber toe cap and ollie guard. Dropping in the next couple weeks is a black/white suede and also a Nathan Kostechko Reserve of the Omen Hi in a full grain leather. As Sus posted the Pillar launches in 3 colors in Fall 2020. If you've got any questions please don't hesitate to PM me.

[moonordie]

Those Pillar are the first interesting thing Emerica has come with since the Westgate G6.
I can see there Reynolds low and Hsu's in there. Nice.

[Shiro417gunpla]

Emerica pillar gives me Westgate vibes

I think these are decent looking. Would be better without the inch long ollie guard.
Would be much, much, much better on a cupsole like the figgy dose sole.

I agree, especially since the grip on the toe bumper isnt flush with the ollie guard, it looks like there's two ollie guards at first glance: one behind the first wrap of the faux tape, another on the second faux tape layer. Id get them if they were cupsole

[yourfuckingdad]

emerica had some good mid top vulcs 10 years ago. i like the new ones too.

Would be nice to skate a mid top. Has been ages.

[144p]

Sounds like Lakai has a xlk cup sole mid in the works. Half cab inspired maybe.
