Product Details
Braden Hoban’s first signature shoe, The Hoban, is a skate shoe made without compromise. Designed for serious skaters, this high-top blends classic style with modern skate tech for maximum performance on even the most demanding tricks. Whether you’re grinding long handrails or sending massive drops, The Hoban has you covered.

Support & Stability:
The high-top design offers superior ankle support, giving you the confidence to hit big tricks and land hard. Paired with double-wrapped vulcanized construction, the shoe offers increased durability and flexibility — perfect for board feel without sacrificing strength.

Built to Last:
The triple-stitched toe cap and quarter panels feature a rolled edge for extra protection, so your flick stays sharp and the ollie area holds up to aggressive wear. For added durability, The Hoban comes with an optional lace protector, ensuring your laces stay intact through endless boardslides.

Shock Absorption:
Emerica’s EM-PACT shock-absorbing insole gives you the impact protection needed for high drops and hard landings. Whether you’re hitting a rail or landing from a big gap, your feet will stay cushioned and fresh.

Custom Fit:
Elastic tongue straps and a heel anchor system ensure a snug fit, keeping your foot locked in place during even the fastest skate sessions. The result? Stability when you need it most — no slipping, no slop.

Signature Design:
Braden’s personal touch is evident with a welded “G” detail on the medial side, giving the shoe a clean yet signature look that reflects his unique style.

Grip & Control:
Underfoot, a grippy 400 NBS rubber outsole combined with Emerica’s Triangle Tread pattern ensures consistent traction, offering reliable board control for any trick, any terrain.

Amazing!

This are not ready to skate out of the box, but they broke in a day of two of walking and they are perfect to skate! They also have the little protections for your laces and that's AWESOME!!

Great skate shoe!

I was unsure since I like less shoe between me and the board, but this shoe has excellent board feel. Also, I’m an old dude and the cushion adds 20 minutes to my session. Would buy again.

Reinventing the Janoski, and why I love the Emerican way.

Braden is a gift from the Skate Gods, and his HoBoski, or HoBroski looks amazing, and I can’t wait to buy at my Local in Chicago, CITIZEN Skateshop. \m/(-_-)\m/

Great kicks, they have fantastic support !! The other bitchin + is the aggressive soles. !! They tend to mimic fly papper while remaining extreamly comfortable !!! If your even considering them, do yourself a solid and grab a pair !!

Order one size smaller

Despite this being a negative review I won't diss Emerica being "the Brand" I grew up into and love since my childhood but guys be aware this shoe runs too large my foot like floats inside if you plan to buy these shoes to skate like I did poor me then just get them half or a full size smaller not sure whats wrong with Braden's feet I love the guy hes a beast but these shoes are like one size larger than the size you'd expect to get I cant caution enough about this.
