Emerica really breaking some boundaries with a re-badge’d DC Wes Kremer…

[close]

Really Emrica stopped caring ages ago...

The Hoboski also looks like a refined version of the Emerica Quentin. Thinking about Hoban's talent and future, they could have tried a little harder.

[Atiba Applebum]

Maybe that Kremer was his favorite shoe?   Have to guess he signed off on this at least

Maybe the Quentin sold really well...

EmericaTM confirmed that team riders are heavily involved with designing their pro models, so I assume Hoban helped put it together. Hopefully he can get people to buy it.

This is a good enough reason for Emerica to get Wes to join the team and diversify a little bit.

Yeah there’s a lot of free agents right now.   Emerica can show their ambition if they snag Wes and/or Evan.

Disappointed we were *lightly* promised Spanky Hi to be on the G6 sole and the catalog shows that mid formula G sole instead  :'(

I hope that's not final and it will be on the G6 like his low top version.

Mixed bag with Emerica and Es there. Plenty of yawns but definitely a couple good ones in there

[close]

emerica is ditching the g6 cupsole from what i know, it didn’t sell well enough to justify the cost of production

a decision that bums me out more every time I read it...

From what I understood, they were scaling back, rather than ditching it entirely, but maybe slap posts and opinions get lost in translation for what the truth actually ends up being/is.

Sad to hear Emerica's phasing out the g6 cupsole. Have to stock on a few pairs of Spankys and unwillingly move onto 1010s or whatever.

[close]

Not necessarily phasing out the Pour-In, just some of the models on it. We still have the Figgy G6 in the line and will try to keep the Slip Cup going even if it's just a new colorway every once in awhile.

[Crap]

Wild to me that the skate shoe brands that understand the importance of a midsole are New Balance and Jim Greco.

[big_kev_215]

I’m not a shoe construction expert, maybe someone could enlighten me…. Why is that random seam there instead of it all being one piece?  Looks… dumb

[Thebird]

One thing I will say is the colorways in this new emerica catalog are definitely better than some of the stuff they have put out recently, and thank goodness there are no collaborations in here.  The OG1 and Heretic are so close to being good shoes - if they only had a midsole.........hoping to stock up heavily on the KSL g6 over the next few days.  Best shoe I've had in years.

[Tonyhawk-prostate]

Everybody’s talking about kremer, personally I think shoe was kind of boring but all I think about is that g6 days might be over



Yet again, the Provost had G6 plus and that was the only issue that had it lolll

i saw 2 catalogs and 0 g6 cupsoles, and i don’t really trust sole tech anymore anyway, that whole penny 2 situation with the elephant print and them saying that the og1 will have a midsole vs the shoe that actually came out… to me it looks like the margins on shoes with midsoles are not enough to make them really profitable for sole tech. if i ever go into the emerica thread it’s always “look at my 10 pairs of emerica x that i bought for 20 bucks each on their website with y promo code”. idk tho i’m just a lil dummy

i mean shit i got sent the catalogs and we don’t even carry sole tech really, we had maranas for a bit and that was that, no one wants to buy em

[LebowskisRug]

I'd be surprised if Emerica was still in core shops in 5 years and eS is still in business.

Wes has been spotted in Lakai recently, which is probably better selling than any Sole Tech brand and likely to still stay around. I guess Emerica does have more pro models for aging riders than other brands.

Splits like that in a panel are for what is called "pattern yield". It's more efficient, smaller pieces. Meaning less waste when puzzling pieces together to cut out of a cowhide or of roll of synthetic/canvas. This reduces waste which is better for the company, better for keeping scraps out of landfill.

That seam was also on the original K2.



And you know, Sole Tech have displayed a lasting commitment to having their remakes as close to the original as possible, so you gotta keep that seam in there. Don't worry about the sole though, no biggie.

[EmericaTM]

A lot of great comments and feedback in here. Here's a few updates from things that were said:

Most importantly, Spanky Hi will be getting an upgrade from what was posted in here. It's now back on the original outsole but with an EVA insole rather than a G6 midsole but happy to say that this improvement won't raise the price.

Correct, the team riders have a huge say when designing their signature shoes. Braden did play an extremely major part of his shoe and was heavily involved. He's been skating it for a few months now and loves it.

In 2025, there will be a Heritic G6 version released.

As one pal pointed out, similar to the Etnies Barge, the Cadence is a basic silhouette designed to be very price conscious. Solid vulcanized shoe at a great price. No more, no less.

Also, if anyone wants to move any of these discussions to the Emerica thread to not takeover this thread please feel free.

If anyone knows the password(s) to access the sole tech catalogs, Purple Mayonnaise me.

Are we talking insole or midsole here?  If this is getting the pour in midsole, this could be a great shoe.

Yeah they're also going to make all the panels completely asymmetrical between the left and right shoes keeping that early 00s feeling.

"Empact"... Whoever is calling shots in Emerica seems to be 8yo and probably that's why the brand is not appealing you a more adult audience.
Remember the days of ABC, that was pretty genius market wise.

[Tiltmode Army Reservist]

Heretic G6 has me feeling like a kid waiting for Christmas Morning all over again.

I'm still gonna buy that first iteration of that reissue though.

Pillar G6 would be special too.

Was the word 'insole' here supposed to say 'midsole,' or is this hilarious?

Anything g6 would be special.  I'd be in.

Wait, so you're telling me they're downgrading the much vaunted G6 midsole AND not charging me for it?!?!? What a nice deed, Emerica.
