It’s no secret that skateboarding footwear continues to evolve, but the need for functional, stylish, and ready-to-skate kicks will always remain the same. And sometimes, you just can’t beat the classics.
Emerica’s OG-1 isn’t just a nostalgic nod to the past—it’s a modern day banger, if you ask me. But yeah, I mean, the nostalgia is always real with this silhouette either way. Back in a classic black/white colorway for Spring, get a closer look at what to expect.

“The iconic OG-1 [is] one of our most demanded reissues,” Emerica mentions on their site. “A timeless silhouette from the late ‘90s, the reissued OG-1 features a bulletproof full rubber cupsole, a suede/mesh upper, triple-stitch reinforcements in high-wear zones for added durability, and the classic herringbone tread for grip—just how you remember it. Made for the Emerica fans. Made for skateboarding.”

Still can’t help but repeat myself when I talk about some of these unearthed gems that Emerica continues to hit us with, but depending on your age (or rather, the era you grew up skating), you might remember these as Marc Johnson’s signature model.
Again, I guess that’s really here nor there, but these are just oozing with nostalgia either way. It’s really no surprise whatsoever this has been one of their most demanded reissued shoes. They look as good as ever, if you ask me!
