    There are two in here that are not “skate shoes”: Nike SB and Adidas! And where is the etnies MARANA…much better than those two combined! Emerica’s Reynold’s is hands down the best!

  • Sigmund

    Real skateboarding shoes by a REAL skateboarding company. That’s almost non-existent nowadays. Emerica rules and corporate shoe giants blow. Made in Emerica is not to be taken literally….it is a mindset. Take notes Nike, Adidas, Puma and New Balance….this is how you run a shoe company.

    • Ben

      Totally agree.

  • Jorge “YOYO” Colon

    It’s Totally a Breath Taker , Its a Most in any Real Skateboard Shoes Accounts. The Reality is that Emerica staying so Focus on the designs for comfort and efficiency performance for Real Skaters shows the truly effort to satisfy the necessity of endurance. With this Reynold 4 Emerica shows the Industry whats coming Up in the Future cause Now Days Skaters are Jumping Bigger Stuff and doing Bigger Gaps wish demands Full protection and physical capacity of the right Tool to perform. High Tops and Mid-Tops are not a Cliche of the 80′s or Fashion any More. They are going to be a Most Trend to Perform. Cause we all Skaters Know How Blast your ankles get after Jumping some big Crazy Stuff and how Browse your Heels gets and That’s No JOKE. The Foot for the Skaters are Essential. Ask The Sheckler and He would tell you that his Elbows Cirguries dont matter to him. What he really cares about is His Foots. Thanks EMERICA for the Transfer of Knowledge in Material.
