Sneak Peek: Emerica G6

Details about the G6. (click to enlarge)

Originally, this sneak peek was intended to be an "insta-gratification" article but we've got more than just a filtered instagram photo this time around. After some heavy digging through the scary depths of the internet, we bring you this Emerica G6 exclusive sneak peek. From an insiders point of view, suspense has been building up for quite sometime regarding whats next to come from Emerica. After sitting on a reliable set of models like the Reynolds 3, Hsu 1's & more recently, the G-Code, you've definitely asked yourself: Where's that new hot fire from Emerica?

eS eBay store, final countdown.

 When asked about his favorite shoe on the board, Michael Bloomberg simply said "Accels baby, Accels."

Admittingly, we've know about this eS eBay store for about two weeks now. It was in our best interest to try & buy everything before posting & promoting it here but we ain't caking' it that hard right now. Unfortunately, RLs came short on the forbes list this year but we'll get em' next year. Surprisingly though, Mexico is on top of their game, while the closest Billionaire in our vicinity is in twentieth place. You think MB has a special place in his heart for nostalgic, limited skateboarding footwear? If so, he needs to come through and invest because I predict a huge turn over for eS memorabilia 5 years down the line. Invest, triple OG OG OG. Btw, seen his pro model yet?

Dissecting JJ's backside 50-50


Jake & Sammy - VX is dead from Gravis Footwear on Vimeo.

Skateboarding can't be measured in points. If this was the case, everyone would be doing double or triple kickflips because a regular kickflip would be the lesser of the two, making it lame. What can be measured is the height and degree of difficulty in a certain trick considering the number of obstacles you have to go through just to get that single trick. Jake's back 50 on the Waverly rail is straight up fucked. It's a spot located in Yonkers, NY.

Nike SB Omar Salazar LR Review


You might be surprised to find this review here. What would the number 1 brand in skateboarding footwear, among other categories like basketball & baseball, need from a shoe review site like us? Nothing. They've got an unchallenged and superior hold on the market that's contributed by their team of designers, resources and talent.

Regardless, whether their products merit review or not, it's been our position, since day one, to review those products that people are weary and/ or skeptical towards purchasing. Consumers & devoted Nike SB connoisseurs were disappointed by Omar's first attempt so this question surfaced: why would they want his second shoe?
