@EmericaTM are the figgy  pour in G6 staying in the line up and eventually more colorways or is it just this drop and then done?

[close]

Figgy G6 is staying in the line for awhile. As you can see it's launching in 3 colorway including the Shake Junt colorway with more colorways to follow later.

Marc Johnson reissue for skateshop day 2023 apparently

[close]

they need to make this a regular release and make more colorways

[close]

We have a few colorways dropping over the next year or two primarily OG colorways.

[close]

@EmericaTM  nice job. The shoe is stunning and I'm stoked you guys are producing additional colorways. Was there any talk of putting a g6 cupsole on it and adding it to the standard roster?

[close]

Pour-In G6 is just a super expensive technology and we wanted to keep this shoe affordable and 1:1 to the original.

@EmericaTM any word on what the other colorways are?

need some kinda all black derivative

[close]

Don't want to give too much away but we've got the OG colorways being released including one that is obviously primarily black.

[close]

@EmericaTM

What was the hold up with releasing that JT inspired shoe?   Did Jamie really throw a wrench in that?

Also, would love to lend my support again to an ED 1 relelease (as close to 1:1 as you can get without that triple stitching around the plastic toe cap)

[close]

Found this article about it. Doesn't go in depth, just says there were "disagreements" which I can only assume means $$$ not going into JTs pockets. Which in hindsight might have been a good decision? I mean Fallen was done by 2017 so I'm sure JT was looking into new shoe sponsors and didn't want to just lend Emerica his old shoe and likeness without actually getting paid for it? Idk probably reaching. But I rather JT in Emerica's than Straye.

Isn't it shoe designs are free for all anyway and only the tech in a shoe is the patent/copyright/whatever

Probably? I know there was the discrepancies with the Osiris D3 between the actual shoe designer and Dave Mayhew years ago when Under Armour did a version of it. But in the end Osiris still releases them without either of them seemingly involved. Maybe in the original contract JT had final say in all present and future installments of said shoe model?  It sucks too cause the remake from 2017 looked solid.

Anyone know whether kalis 1s fit TTS or not.   Severely tempted by that Skateboard Cafe edit

I’ve heard the Kali’s fit big go a half size down, just ordered the clockers hoping they’re tts

I had the black Love Park ones in TTS years ago and had wished I went a half size down. But I've read that sizing is all over the place with every drop of the Kalis OGs.

Haha awesome.  Thanks for the heads up.  I’ve been fighting nostalgia for a while.   Were they worth it?

Felt like that one was also changed enough that they could just say it was based on a couple of their old designs and not even reference Jamie if they didn't want to. It's like the heretic on the Westgate cupsole with a side window from whatever old model. No one could really say it wasn't if that's what they claimed

Can’t figure out how to embed this one but new Nora colorway. (Help is appreciated)

LET'S FUCKING GO

Love this shoe and I've been wanting a black sole version of it. Now wishing for a mid/high top version

(also IG and Youtube links automatically embed when you post, they won't embed in post preview.)

Same. Same. Stoked on these and would love a mid/high.

I appreciate the intel!

Honestly that JT inspired shoe just probably didn’t get enough prebooks to produce it.

there was a fallen version of that shoe that never came out for that reason as well. I think it was called the 1998? this woulda been 2008 or so

It was, they put it on their site but never released it.

That JT reissue looked so promising!
They should have just gone with the phocus instead because it ended up being a team model (after he took the design to adio when he left emerica) and thus there would have been no complications with the reissue. Also, the phocus looked way better than the adio version!

Have both of the Kalis X Butter Goods collabs from 2019 and 2022 and both fit TTS for me, almost all of the "OG" DC's (Kalis, Lynx, Clocker 2, etc) fit TTS for me except the Lukoda which needed .5 up. The reissued OG Kalis 1 is one of my favorite DCs, they feel great and IMO are worth the price for the nostalgia, aesthetic, and functionality.

I'm convinced those are bootlegs until proven otherwise.

[kneebone]

it definitely looks pretty budget/bootleg, but the google preview of the official emerica listing shows it will have a very non-budget price: $105

Looks like its the pour in G6 (just like like the Spanky KSL) based on seeing the green cut out in the heel, can also confirm the pour in G6 are very comfortable shoes

[grassblade]

no, they’re very real
and very horrendous. they don’t even look finished
and $104.99

[eSK3]

Whoever OK’d the spending of the money for the molds of this outsole need to be shot. How does SoleTech invest all that money making the molds for a shoe destined for every clearance rack in every shop that was dumb enough to book BUT won’t make 1:1 reissues of truly popular éS models.

my thoughts exactly lmao. they can spend all the money they want on the molds for hideous atrocities like the pillars and estrellas, but proper 1:1 reissues of the quattros, kostons, MJs, MC raps, or tilts are "too expensive" or "not up to today's performance standards." we at least have the tribos and accels, but soletech should really take a page out of DC's book when it comes to properly reissuing old silhouettes

The mold on shoes such as The Pillar is the same mold as the Dickson, Wino G6 Slip-On, etc. It's just a different upper.

It might be a healthy time to look at other things, whatever they may be.

Yeah, nah that is nowhere even in the same vicinity as the OG phocus … kinda a blasphemous name really
