that is laughably bad. that can't be real

[mynameisnotjeff]

Could’ve brought the toe foxing up and brought it back to the stitching the heel part should be pulled back a little

Those Dicksons look awful, and they’re one of the new vegan versions that EmericaTM has been promising us for the past 6 months, adding insult to injury.

cool collage

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

In their defense, they are all canvas so they are doing this as a way of offering a vegan option without having it blow out in 2 sessions, for that I give them props! (But yeah, synth suede would obviously be the better option)
I honestly don’t think they look that bad... I’ve certainly seen worse!

[Technique]

Holy shit those emericas are sick! Most colorways are clean as well. When are they coming out?

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

I would fucking DEVOUR multiple pairs of those streaks if there was a vegan option 🙇‍♂️
@EmericaTM where you at son, give this man a job!

oh man... i'm so bummed for both you guys.

i agree though, nice design arto.

[fulfillthedream]

lol how do we even know those emericas are a real thing?

White and gums= jump of a building era Ed templeton

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

which ones? The dicksons came from a very solid source so I’d say they’re real. Arto’s version is probably not real but he fucking nailed the late 90s emerica aesthetic/ vibe with that design, Id buy like 5 pairs in a heartbeat If it was a real shoe!

Good call on the Ed colourway, I was getting Ed 1 vibes too!

[Roald Dahnkle]

Just another poster coming to say those Dicksons are atrocious. Cheap looking lazy design. 

Hire Arto.

No comment on those Dicksons..

Here's the 'streak'. Lets say there's a vegan option and they retail for $85.

This is what I imagined a Westgate model would have looked like.  It’s like Ed 1 and the spirit of the Barley can’t together.  I love it

[Sk.A.T.A.N]

Those Dicksons are something else, and I mean that in a non positive way. Holy hot pile of garbage, vegan or not.

And then right after we get Sketchy showing how it’s done for the 1000th time. Like damn, I’m a footwear designer, I work with people that are paid shit loads of money that do work with not even half the quality he does.
He’s the full package, understands shoe construction, cleaver and tasteful design choices, completely aligned with the brand image with the little innovation spice it needs, good colorways, super clean presentations that are easy to read. Goddamn it, I hate seeing talent being wasted. Someone hire this guy!

[jay_nev]

Waiting to see actual pics of the dickson's. Looks like there is flickshield too, under the canvas? They're not for me, i like the suede version that already came out of his shoe though.

Arto's comps are nice, heretic with a tiago 1010 midsole.

[FROTHY]

Arto, thanks for the package. They are a little narrow but they look sick.

[Eggie Vedder]

Damn so bummed those streaks aren’t real. Can Emerica please make something like this instead of another vulc that just looks like the 20 other exact same models with different names in their line.

Edit: Just went back to see the Dickson. That has to be a joke. There is no way a team of designers signed off on that right?

A straight rip off of the Clearweather skate shoe

You realize that Westgate had like 4 pro models on Emerica right?

[crunchydank]

Those Streaks capture Emericas image better than anything they’ve put out in the last decade. Would definitely keep them on during sex if I could actually purchase a pair. Love the slimmed down Templeton vibes!

Damn haha

Edit: Arto those are sick, nice job for real

I think he had 2, but they never looked quite right for him.   (I guess my fault for writing “would” rather than “Should”)  Same with Heaths 3 models.  He should have had 1 classic shoe in all that time. 

[Murge]

Damn I love my dicksons but those vegan joints are rough. I’m not a shoe designer but if the did a full toe cap and then less on the heal it wouldn’t look too bad.


Edit. Thanks @jay_nev

[doublesteveburger]

What would that rubber on the heel even protect? Clicking your heels?

emerica design team:"hey jon, what do you want in your new shoe."

jon dickson:"nothing, i like my shoes."

emerica design team:"aight, cool if we through some rubber on it on some hip spots."

jon dickson:"who cares man, you got a cigarette?"

[mynameisnotjeff]

I think heel stability?
Making shoes last longer for heel flips is weird

[SlapTM]

Those Dicksons are part of a "Rubber Vulcano" pack and are the most "extreme" out of the three. Not my cup of tea personally but shops loved them and kids are down for some crazy shit these days especially when durability is a factor. There's still the Flick Shield underneath that canvas too. There's a handful of regular Dicksons coming out as well.

[kneebone]

ahh emericaTM beat me to it, but i figured it was just supposed to be Emerica's take on the nike drop type
