I think it's based off a Billie Jean King shoe which makes some sense

A spanky high top cupsole really would be great.  The Omen Hi is a good shoe but the tread on the sole wears down pretty quickly and I would prefer the protection of a cup

They're doing a hi top version of the Spanky G6 that I think @EmericaTM confirmed is coming out next holiday season, 2023. I don't think there's any official pictures yet but Spanky's posted some instagram clips skating in them. There's some screenshots a few pages back on this thread. Definitely an Emerica shoe that I'm genuinely excited about!

@EmericaTM, do you happen to have an ETA on when the light blue Spanky G6 will drop?

They’re this season and one of the last cupsoles being delivered so it should be arriving soon!

Looks like it’s based off the Rod Laver to me.

Yeah the second laver upper on og laver sole. I have zero evidence it was based of the Billie Jean King it just reminded me of these old tennis shoes my mum would wear that I thought would of been good to skate in that (from memory) were basically Stan Smith's with a wrap around toe panel.

There’s a dead one inspiration someone posted back when these first emerged…I’ll look.   

Love the white green one.   Glad it turned out well

I'm a big adidas guy so that Nora shoe got me digging through adidas's back catalog. The upper is definitely straight from the Nastase super, with a different leather toebox from another adidas tennis shoe from that period, possibly the player GS. A lot of those tennis shoes from that period are similar, which is probably why people are drawing rod laver comparisons.

The back of the shoe is definitely unique, I don't recall a shoe with the same style. The outsole of the shoe is really nothing I've seen before. Typically adidas outsoles have a faux welt, yet this one is completely smooth. The closest comparison is really this ATP shoe which dates roughly at the same time the Nastase release
That being said, this shoe's outsole is probably unique.

@EmericaTM how did Keiran Zimmerman/Jenny get a shoe? And is there a Erik Penton part coming with the kf 5050 convention center?

Idk what part of the world that is but not in the US yet. Darn.

Keiran has been a part of the Canada team for years now and is pretty close with us so when he got on Jenny we decided to put out a shoe with them that's available only in Canada and we will have a small amount on our site.

I filmed Erik's kickflip 50-50 and gave him the footage which I believe he is putting in his next part. Dude did the shit out of it!

[kneebone]

what's the shoe going to be?

[SlapTM]

The Tilt G6 Vulc as that's the shoe Kieran skates in.

You're not wrong... The Nastase is essentially the Rod Laver with 3 stripes and definitely looks like the main reference for Nora's shoe. 

I actually haven't seen this shoe in hand yet, but it kinda looks like a similar outsole construction to the Lucas Premiere with that kind of Cup/Vulc hybrid.

The heel kinda reminds me of the Intack from the spzl range but I've definitely seen something closer to it, not sure where tho.

Also this deep dive into the Adidas back catalog is really good stuff.
