14 Things You Didn’t Know About Emerica Shoes 

What is your favorite Emerica video of all time? AND Who is your favorite Emerica pro of all time? What brand should we do a video on next?

"This is skateboarding" was amazing and at a great time in my life.

One of the few real skate shoe brands that deserves to be respected. Great shoes all around - durability, designs, features. Long live Emerica.

The entire ThisIsSkateboarding soundtrack has a permanent spot on my skate playlist. Even the super mellow ones like "Shinda Shima" get me so pumped to jump on my board and feel that breeze. As much as I will always have a sweet spot for Vans, for me it's Emerica all the way.

So glad you brought up what an absolute legend Heath Kirchart has been throughout his career, and also Braden Hoban for Hubba Hideout. Emerica is such an amazing brand, but all of Sole Tech does not get enough praise for what they've done for skateboarding. Glad you went into the history of how those three brands got divvy'd up. Great stuff as always.

Immediately noticed the green filter in the opening segment. Nice touch.

“this is skateboarding” is one of my all time favourite video, and i feel it was such their golden era.

when I was a young boy the youngest emericans were Leo Romero and Kevin Spanky Long. in 2022 Leo Romero and Kevin Spanky Long are now the oldest team riders

No love for Leo Romero? His shoes are classics and he’s a huge part of the brand.

Late 90s early 2000s Emerica was very popular, especially with baker riders, prob cause of Reynolds. To this day Emerica is the only skate shoe brand I still buy

Make emerica great again

Emerica has been spoiling us with some of the gnarliest skate videos ever created. And the number reason is the constant rippers they pick to put on their team and sponsor. Not to mention, Emerica videos are always top notch with everything that goes with film production.....

My favorite emerica video is all of them that had the boss in it. Emerica reynolds 2 are still my favorite shoes

I did not expect that Es/Ethnies/Emerica were sisters, but it does suddenly total sense. Thanks for the video!

The red Reynolds ones OMG the Ellington double E so many classic shoes that just bring back my childhood

All time favorite shoe Brand. Love their style and love the team. Sad to see El Jefe leave but I still rock em all day.

Stay gold will always be the most iconic skate video ever

Cheers ShredZ. I am happy when I see a new video from you guys. Cheers from the UK "LiL'JpD."

Servolds green rough cut is one of the best skateboarding videos i have ever seen

Would love to see the Herman g6’s make a comeback on Emerica like they did with keeping the Reynolds low silhouette and calling the”Vulc Low”.

Came from work ... prepared my coffee light my blunt and press play... Ahhh time to relax and catch up with the Canadian bro's..👌👍

I got lucky I started skating in 96 or 97. I got to skate every sick emerica shoe. Marc Johnsons were awesome so we're the ellingtons. This is skateboarding is almost as iconic as baker2g

4:31 My buddy Jason Lemankiewicz from Phoenix is the dude grinding this massive handrail. Both Jamie Thomas and Muska tried to get this one and couldn't pull it off. Jason is a rad guy and an amazing skateboarder. I would stay on his couch when I visited Portland. We skated Burnside all the time and went on countless skate trips all around Oregon and Washington. Dude could have been pro if he had wanted to but he was completely content to work at a pizza place, shred parks and catch a buzz, living the good life in the PNW 🍻🛹

Stay Gold was amazing, I got to see it in a theater when I lived in Florida, Andrew Reynolds FS flipping that giant ass four block to hitting his cigarette will live in my head rent free forever.

Stay Gold of my Personal fav video. Alot of riders i still look up to this day. Emerica is always gonna one of my fav shoe brands 🤘

I love these videos.

I used to have the MJ1 in gray and it was absolutely super good shoe. Emerica should do an OG remake of it. Nice Video as always, thanks!!

Got introduced to Emerica from Stay Gold when I was 12-13. And the first pair my mom bought me were the black/grey Jinx model. Good times

Next video: a brief history of Shredz Shop

i missed that og reissue please do it again!

So right about Hoban! He's straight 🔥

Love this vids

and now they reissued the OG 1 ( Marc Jonhson) in white , blue navy and black . So dope ! i have already pre ordered my ES Muska and Creager 2023 is a good year for OG reissue

Marisa Dal Santo's part in Stay Gold is an all time classic 7:17

Levi, you've got a good thing going, keep up the good work Sir \m/ And lets see that ink.

The mark Johnson Emerica’s were dope af.. those the Es kostons, & the Es muska’s are some of the best shoes of that era

This is skateboarding and emerica was sooo infleuntal around the world. This vid inspired a first generation of skaters in siberia, buryatia back in mid 2000s

@shredzshop I love the 90s and 00s flashbacks but how about some 70s and 80s history, my first decent board was a makaha comp 3 board back in the late 70s, would be good to see some of that history

Still got my r3s, bought em when I was 17, straight ruined. But still have og box and very much skateable og Shake Junt G codes. Emerica is the best, short of not using STI anymore. Es still got STI though, so between that, some half cabs and occasionally a Dunk low or mid; all is well. Altamont is also one of the coolest brands. Still have that Herman flip pic on my wall as well as premier for Shake Junt vid, Altamont Steadman photo, and 10 yr Baker pic. Simple teen skate days. Stay Gold was filmed better and has Hsu so just barely takes it imo. Im 28 years old now; two best friends still skate with me so im as lucky as a man could be, but most others quit or are on dopefiend shit. Recently tore the ligaments in my flick foot a few months ago so coping with that, and aging. Doing my best, hitting little boxes, gaps, alot of freestyle and less impact skating. Making the best out of it. Strange how some things never change- didn't realize for a long time there wasn't a what to be when I grow up- it was just skate; meantime work cogs jobs to afford living quarters so you can just do the same thing you've always done. Feel very out of place in life, but at the same time it's therapeutic. Emerica best shoes, Baker overall best boards and vids, Escapist best shop, MJ the goat, Rodney the god.

The Reynolds 3s were out before 2007. I'm gunna say that the Reynolds 3s were released in 2004

Love this

I've always liked Emerica. I had a couple pairs of reynolds 1s a long time ago and now I just ordered a pair of og-1s

I had so many pairs of Reynolds 3s. Those things blew out like crazy

Stay good is my favorite Reynolds part so stay gold off too but I’ll have to go back and rewatch this is skateboarding to give a definitive answer for you.

Emerica is my fav brand. This is skateboarding sunk its fangs in deep. Stay gold might be the best skate video ever made, but Green got me back skating after a long break. Reynolds 1, 3, spanky g6, and the wino slipscups.

I’m patiently waiting for enough time to pass before Reynolds comes back.. fingers crossed!

They should bring back the „Herman 2“ or the „leo dos“..loved those shoes

been waiting for an episode about Adidas skate since years!

Nice work

That wallride was dope , how the hell people do that :p

Andrew Reynolds Stay Gold is my favorite part of all time

My first tattoo was Stay gold. After I've watched Leo's part I decided to get my first tattoo. Emerica forever!

My 1st skate shoe ever in 98, was emerica!!

Emerica has had some amazing skate videos, but the pinnacle, in my opinion, is This is Skateboarding. While I have a bit of nostalgic bias, it's still an amazing video that could rival the ones that are coming out today. I could watch nearly any part of that video and be hyped to skate.

Stay Good hands down gif me back into skateboarding 🖤🖤🖤

Emerica has and will be my favorite brand in skating, hell I even have the logo tatted on me haha good video guys

Was at the Park skating last week, and my homie was telling me about this guy that showed up, older dude but he was good. When I looked down and saw he was wearing Emerica shoes, I already knew he was gonna be good. 😅 Only real ones know! Hahaha.

TiS and Stay Gold are still their best. What a roster, what a footage! Kirchart's part in This is Skateboarding is just nuts.

Growing up after the stay gold video came out emerica was always my favorite shoe company to skate. I still think it has the best design direction and video style. Altamont and emerica were the best.

ive been looking for the navy marc johnsons

Please do a history of thrasher!!

The Reynolds 3 was a perfect skate shoe like the likes of an és accell in the early 2000s-2010’s atleast in Braintree mass from 2009-2012 everyone was skating accells or reynolds 3s and kayo boards or baker boards, or Plan B

I fuckin loved my green sheep shoes from the mid late 90s. Nearly as much, as i loved my gray and red Ellingtons, which were my favorite shoes ever. Great video as usual :)

Just saw the og-1s for sale so I had to order them

Reynolds is the sh**!! This is skateboarding was my favorite video. And his part in Stay Gold was sick. Also Ellington with that Danzig part!!

I’ve been wearing emarica shoes for twenty years! Tried a few other brands but for the majority of the the time it’s been EMERICA!!!!!

Stay gold what a classic

Which video did they put out where you could pay what you like for? I always thought that was an interesting idea.

Does anyone know why in This Is Skateboarding Joey Poiriez (r.i.p) has a very small part some time into the ending credits and wasn’t put in the Emerica am section with braydon, Leo and Matt Allen? I’ve always wondered that since the video came out.

I was like 12 when the Reynolds 3 came out. I loved those shoes. The diamond in the eyelet! And I remember it having Reynolds handwritten in the back of the heel. Everyone in middle school was accusing me of writing it myself because there was a cute girl with the same last name in class lol. All them memories from a pair of skate shoes

You should do a story on Fallen Footwear or Circa Footwear

The Spankys were my first Emerica shoes I ever bought

I like the Levi plug 😆

Got back into skating a few months ago, got some emericas they served me well. Surprised Bryan Herman wasn’t mentioned, my favorite emerica pro. We are both from the high desert. Good video bro.

Make a video about Supra shoes, i'm so disappointed they had to discontinue the shoes in 2021. Probably the best shoe brand besides Nike and it's sad they won't be making Supra shoes anymore since the company got bought out

Please make a video for iPath!!!!

Reynolds 3 they were red and they had the little diamond for the lace hole? Had them brand new and lost one of em in a mud hole looking for shrooms one night

I had the templeton 2's. Good shoe. But, I liked the stay gold video best. after all that time. The templeton part I liked it best from wasn't even an emerica vid. lol. the last pair of reynolds they made were pretty good too. but I bought a size too big and they were tough to skate in.

The shoes from late 90's was unbreakable every Brand was made in USA....i got few of them and they last for Years no deform,drive bike play football all Days summer and Winter...and nowdays models only looks nice,China Cheap materials and glue.......

do videos about polarskateco and ripndip nerm is in my dreams

The Emerica wino slip ons is what I've been skating for years. Besides vans in between pairs. Especially the pink elephant collab. I put a few pairs on ice ice baby. Have you ever tried to write a comment while wasted? It's harder than you think.

The Reynolds g6 we're super close to his Reynolds 2s

THIS IS SKATEBOARDING WAS THE BEST AND THE BOSS IS THE MAN

Reynolds 2s is my favourite

I miss the etnies smiley logo shoes.

I've worn nothing but Emerica shoes since This is Skateboarding came out (except for about 6 months when I was being flowed Osiris shoes lol) Still rocking Emericas today, with a fat gold Emerica "E" belt buckle

Some of Arto Saari's best footage was during his Emerica days. His 411vm 32 (1999) rookies part is all-time. Switch hardflip and switch heel down Bricktown.

ellington 1 is still my favorite shoe ever

funny cause I just got emericas for the first time and my friend (who was always riding emerica shoes) switched to etnies lmao

Spanky kills it!

You should definitely start a "where are they now" or "what happened to (skater/ company)" 👌🏻

Yo let me get that leo romero pic?!!

Do DVS next pls Mabey

That’s so badass how emerica rented the team a mansion in Hollywood hills .. I bet that was non stop memories , …these days, you gotta pitch a sleeping bag in your boys living room floor in a 2 bd apt in the hood .

Tiltmode crew!

🍻

Stay gold. Romero part

I landed my first kick flip wearing Emerica Reynolds 2.

...."He's gonna win all the money, everywhere.. Always"....💸💰💸😎👌

DO IPATH FOOTWEAR!!!
