Those Heretics were the shoe of choice for a couple years at my local. The sports store in town must have got a bulk deal on black ones, they had them forever. They also passed the 'school shoe' test at the local high school, so more than just skateboarders wore them. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
Weird only skaters wore emerica where I was at and most of the skaters didn’t, it was just a niche crowd that wore em. The typical baker kids were the only ones who wore emerica, I was one of them lol
Sick to see others still looking for these classic skating shoes. Still have some of the OG g-code Herman’s and Reynolds 3’s. Fire lineup bro! P.s. as a fellow Mexican skater, I commend you for that good deed giving those kids a board. My first board was given to me by one of my wealthier homies growing up and that’s where it all started for me! So seeing that was pretty dope man! Cheers brotha sick vid 🍻
Dude you got the Emerica Boss's or the AR slims? Those also had the bling and were my top favorites. I let a friend who sucked at skating borrow my AR slims and he literally ripped a hole in them in a day. I was so pissed. I still don't know how he did it but RIP to him and the shoes.
Bro you have some old audio? I remember they had a few really good videos back in the day. So much you used to have that came with a good pair of shoes but you got Xtra laces and key chains and catalogs. Those were good days man
There’s one pair of skate shoes I wish I still had and that’s the Ellington double E shoes. That’s all I rode back in the day, my all time favorite shoe.
i had some danny ways back when i was a freshmen in hs, think it was like 93-94 i had them in all greeen, also had them in all white and grey, dopest shoes ever. cant find nothing on them. dc needs to retro those
I think emerica is re releasing the heretic. Out of that catalog, I had the grid( similar to sal 23) and trmpleton1. The templeton was the best shoe ever, below the insole, there was an additional clear gel heal shock absorber, it was inserted into the hard part of the midsole. No heal bruises in those!
One of my favourite (skate) shoes ever is from Emerica, the Heath Kirchart Emerica Shifter High Reserve, and it annoys me to no end that I can no longer find fresh pairs and that they will probably never be made again.
@@GoldenEraCollector I think you made a great point before in saying that these companies are sitting on a goldmine in terms of retros, but it does look like some of them are still not interested in or unable to capitalize on that. In your opinion, which are the companies currently being smart on that front and which ones are not? I've been enjoying the classic eS models recently but it definitely seems that there is a lot more room for others. I think both skating and older/bigger skate shoes are on the rise again.
It was 2006 and j was watching andrew reynolds how to fs flip video dying to get some reynolds 3 cuz of the studs im so glad i ran i to this channel 🥲where does the time go i was 14 now im 28
The Reynolds 1s were simply called the Reynolds they're pictured on the shoe ad pamphlet shown near the end of the video... not similar to the 3s at all imo, the 3s are way slimmer and less technical looking... the 3s shred all the excess bulk and gimmicky features for a slimmer and more minimalist and more modern look. The Reynolds 3 could fit right in with modern skate shoes, the Reynolds 1 is a classic puffy shoe featuring a cupsole with heel air bubble plenty of layering and rubber toe cap etc etc vs the Reynolds 3 clean and minimalist aesthetic with its vulc sole and few to no real layering of materials. A Reynolds 3 re-issue would be killer! Don't know If they could ever make it happen now that they booted Reynolds from the company and he's skating for Van's these days but if Emerica could figure out how to re-issue the Johnson 1s and Reynolds 3 they'd for sure fly off shelves.
So much respect for giving those kids skateboards!
my favourite Emerica shoe and most nostalgic has to be the Ellington 1
Marc Johnson had the best shoes ever. MJ1 and Mj2 I have brand new still dead stock
as a mexican, you're invited to the carne asadas.
video idea, take us along your journey as you browse ebay, etc, for finds
I second this as a mexican
Good dude for hooking the next generation up with proper setups that show your heart and love for this shit 💯🙌
Emerica had the BEST insoles in their shoes back then. The arch support was so comfortable for someone like me who has some pretty deep arches
I miss those shoes

Bro yeah the struggle was real for Mexican kids who skated with single mom's for real.
dope seeing your emericas! hope to see an adio showcase in the future brotha
the Senn looks cool in that gray and navy colorway in that catalogue
I had the Emerica Reynolds 1 black and gum when I was growing up. Easily some of my favorite shoes ever.
The Leto Romero 1, Reynolds’s 2 and Herman 1 were the dopest emericas. The spankys were dope too when the first came. The kirchart were dope too
Fuck can’t forget the Ellington’s
I like the baby blue/black pair and the navy/white pair also! ❤
Will the real Slim Shady please stand up… We’re gonna have a problem here.

I have some unworn Emerica Reynolds 1 Blk/Red colorway, size 12. Not sure if I'll ever wear them. I will probably sell them next year.
How much I'll buy
More!!!! Great vid as always
As someone who was once a Mexican kid, I appreciate what you did for them Mexican kids bro. I got a pair of heretic, Templeton 2s and some spanky dos
Those Marc J 2's are straight heat Melcom 🤩
Do you have any kalis s. If so I think you should make a video on it
the reynolds omfg i miss those shoes
i had some danny ways back when i was a freshmen in hs, think it was like 93-94 i had them in all greeen, also had them in all white and grey, dopest shoes ever. cant find nothing on them. dc needs to retro those
I wish I had another pair of the red and black Chris’s Senn. So comfortable .
The MJ2 was way ahead of its time imo, I’d love to wear something similar to that now.
Back in the days when they gave you hella laces 😭😭 I tear my shit so fast
Omg memory lane man. I remember having the black and gum heretics and red R2z never had the 3s
I had those mjs, best shoe ever hands down
Beautiful MJ2 👍🏻
Marc Johnson , he starred in the hit Transworld film modus operandi?
Those Reynolds 3 though❤️❤️

Mj1 were amazing to skate in.
That was me who asked for this on your give away vid thanks bro
Any Reynolds ones from that pamphlet would be my grail
Those johnsons 2s are 🔥

I personally feel like emerica is a lost cause for the time being

@@Wladislav Osiris and DVS have some shit coming. Globe needs retro some more older pro models. Axion is apparently back in business.
Do you have any of the szfranski emericas? I thouggt those looked dope af never had any tho
Do some es shoes, i just got the re-issue omega and its the dopest puffy shoe out
I still have like 20 boxes from 2000, 2001, 2002 are just the boxes worth anything? They’re in perfect condition
You got those bradon safronski pro highs
Nah I dont man
👍👍👍👍👍
The reynolds 3 back in 05 was the best iteration of a vulc shoe
do Adio next or anything from Axion
Awesome! Man those shoes look ridiculous lol
Love this bro new sup from Costa Rica 🇨🇷🛹
Hell yes
Do an all black shoes video.
Constantly saying "I normally don't like all black shoes"
Do you have any dvs. What do you think about dvs
Rey 3’s? Or toshs pro shoe?
It was 2006 and j was watching andrew reynolds how to fs flip video dying to get some reynolds 3 cuz of the studs im so glad i ran i to this channel 🥲where does the time go i was 14 now im 28
I bought the eynolds 3 only for the diamond just lose it after the first heelflip
I’d do anything for a pair of the reynolds 3s red colorway.
I miss more shoes bei g made tho that thickness. Way more protection and support against rolled ankles, and better comfort when not skateing too
💯
I want a pair or the original Marc Johnsons
my fav are mj1s than 2s then koston 1s
Dude i love my heretic. Mine was black
My favorite shoes to skate was emerica. I had so much fun learning heelflips in my black/pink heretics back in 2004. Also had the Reynolds 2.
What's the first Reynolds shoe? The boss?
Basically the same shoe bit the original didnt have emerica on the back I had atleast 4 pair of originals

dude you didn't get the baby blue colorway.
You show me emerica shoes from a better time but don't have the Eric Ellington emerica. The best emerica shoes ever.
So sick!! Please do more of these wit other brands and can u show us all ur rides too
Size
Nice shoes emerica.. look bulky,, nice. I had one emerica but new one. More slimer than yours. Love to have one emerica shoes bulky OG
What real skate shoes look like
Lols tommy 😓

chutuluswagon check tomorrow’s video 👊
I think the last ones are the worse tbh
The Tommy is embarrassing.
This comment is embarrassing 🤦♀️😂
Mj2s better
Emerica is the worst soletech Division nowadays... they’re like dying to imitate vans cons and not focusing on reissuing classics.
Emerica fell off hard...
I loved Reynolds 3’s
