Here comes the flood of sole tech simps…idk about y’all but I value my money I work hard for and I don’t give any company a pass just cause “core” that’s just idiotic. Make something good or just die please.
this post is worse than the shoe
Agreed, as many of the "soletech simps" are even critical of this half assed idea of a shoe. Poster above criticizing soletech fans but ignores that soletech fans are criticizing Emerica as well. 2 braincell energy from Rafael on that post, tbh.
Soletech makes a LOT of great shoes, but this model is tarnishing that reputation because it just ain't it
Point me to the great shoes. Es is just shitty reissues no shops carry and no one seems to skate, Emerica has the same simple variants from one another that they've beaten to death and everything new is wack or bad quality, but I will admit that people really like Etnies and they're the least offensive.
If you're blind, just say so:
There are plenty bad NB#, Nike, Adidas, Vans, and Converse models but somehow they don't get shat on nearly as bad as Soletech? Confusing and unwarranted, to be honest.
Es:
Silo SC, Accel Slim Plus, Swift 1.5, and Quattro are all great shoes. Accel Slim is mid, but plenty of people like it. There are Accel OG fanboys, so that's it's own thing. I don't think they're good in their current iteration, personally.
You can harp that the reissues/re-master/reimagined classics are shitty, but I've skated a few of them and they're solid quality. Silo SC has some of the best flick I've experienced. Quattro is comfy and skates well (skating them right now)
Emerica:
Spanky G6, Wino G6 Slip Vulc, Wino G6 Slip Cup, KSL G6, Gamma G6, Figgy, Figgy G6, and Romero Laced are all solid shoes. Romero being the weakest of all but still loved by many.
Reynolds G6 was a fantastic shoe and that G6 sole is one of the best on the market we got from Emerica It outperforms a majority of the big 3's cupsoles easily. You can't ignore that. If you don't like that sole, just say that instead of passing th sole and all of Emerica off as garbage. You confuse preference with quality and it's annoying.
Most people skating Emerica or trying Emerica are not experiencing the one-off you had with the KSL. Emericas are largely well made and are not bad quality.
Etnies:
Marana Michelin, Joslin 1, Josl1n (remastered one), Joslin 2, Windrow Cup, and Windrow Vulc are all quality shoes. The Michelin cupsole is easily one of the best on the market alongside Emerica G6. Those soles last longer than any other brand's soles and offer good grip/reliable flick. Marana & Joslin are both simple, understated workhorse shoes that perform well for their value.
You can express your taste on design elements in regards to aesthetic, sure. When it comes to performance and overall appeal, Soletech is well liked, well made, and mostly pleasing on the eyes. If you can't see that about Soletech then you're intentionally ignoring/not looking at the gems they do produce
