EmericaTM, would we ever see a reissue of the Reynolds 1 or 2, or perhaps the Ellington/Vette?

Not as of this moment. All of those shoes have different molds and would require opening up a completely new mold let alone several and with opening a new mold, you end up spending tens of thousands of dollars doing so and then have to sell a ton of pairs of that one shoe just to break even let alone profit. It's a lot more challenging than people realize and then doing so with a past team rider's pro model makes it even more challenging.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I am sure that would be quite expensive. Maybe one day. Hopefully we get some classic and new colorways of the OG/MJ. Also, the new KSL look great, hopefully they skate just like the Reynolds G6.

Maybe we will get lucky and the mj1 reissue will be g6. I have a few pairs of the regular Spanky g6 that im rotating between, and just finished skating a pair of all white reynolds g6 that I got off of ebay. Love the g6 cups

There will be both classic and new color ways of the MJ1 and both the Heretic and MJ will be as close to possible as the original so no pour-in G6. I'd say the KSL is the closest thing to the Reynolds G6 as far as a more padded upper with the G6 pour-in midsole. Check the Gamma G6 as well too if you haven't already.

Im watching man down right now and this whole thing is littered with good clips in the MJ1/MJ2. I have the Heretic and Reynolds when they came out but never got to try the MJs. Would be tight to see them back on the market but not sure how that works and if MJ is still associated with ///.

[close]

Heretic full on reissue is in the works along with the MJ/OG.

My prayers have been answered. Will buy at least 3 pair of MJ OG

Is anyone on the team getting a new pro model? I thought I heard that Provost was getting a new one? Skated the Gamma's and really liked them even though I usually prefer a vulc shoe. I've wondered in all the years of trying shoes are there discrepancies between shoes that are the same size and same color? For example, if you have two pairs of 8's in the same color and model can one fit better than the other? Can there be that much of a difference?

[MyUserName]

Wait, so emerica is allowed to reissue pro models from dudes who are no longer on the team?

In that case, the world needs Ellington 1 and Westgate (the one with the runner toe) reissues. Please, for the love of all that’s holy.

[oyolar]

I miss the runner toe Westgate G6 so much

Give me the Ellingtons in the Grey/Red colorway and i'll buy multiple pairs just to stare at.
I had multiple pairs of those back in the day but was never able to get that colorway.

Between this year and 2024 we’ve got about 5 new pro models coming out. 2 of which are a riders first Emerica pro shoe. New Provost shoe is out in July and it’s a vulc while most of the others are cupsole. Regarding sizing, it’s all up to the production of them from the factory.

No one is really saying that. I mean any brand technically can reissue any shoe if they’re willing to pay for the molds. However, I can’t speak on how stoked a past rider would or wouldn’t be on something they helped create being sold again. In regards to the MJ1, for those that aren’t familiar, it was reissued back around 2008 as “The OG” which is what we’re doing again.

They can get over it just as Dave Mayhew did. lol

Yes please!

I wouldn't mind skating a good pair of airwalks. I decided to see what the current offering was. Then Decided to share it, because I new you all would be hyped on it

I think they have a few non-offensive shoes, but I'm assuming the quality isn't that great.

So if that’s the case, let’s not make vulc tilts or gammas without the G6 sole, let’s make what the people are asking for, so you guys are start seeing the money and we start skating Emerica again!

I get it’s a difficult process but let’s be honest, ain’t no buddy trying to buy peach colored shoes with black soles, that’s why most of your shoes on site are like thirty bucks, we want Emerica to thrive, not sink, bring back what we grew up on or atleast give us something we can work with! And if you can’t…than just bring back the figgy one..

[WideFeet]

I love the Pour In G6. I plan on getting a pair or 2 of the Julian Davidson Gammas.

Why don’t all the Gamma’s have the Pour In G6? Is it because of the price point?
