Late-90s legend reissued – the OG-1 brings back a bulletproof cupsole and ’90s flair

The OG-1 is a time capsule from the late ’90s, bringing back a timeless Emerica silhouette for today’s skaters who crave that era’s style and toughness. Originally loved for its rugged build and classic aesthetic, the reissued OG-1 stays true to the form that made it an iconic part of Emerica’s history, but with a few modern upgrades to ensure it handles today’s demanding skateboarding.

Built for Durability:
The OG-1 features a full rubber cupsole that can take a beating. It’s been called “bulletproof” for a reason: this thick rubber outsole is designed to survive endless sessions of street and park skating, while the internal EVA midsole provides all-day comfort and impact protection. Whether you’re landing hard or grinding rough surfaces, the OG-1 keeps your feet protected and comfortable.

Tough Upper with Added Comfort:
True to the original design, the OG-1 combines durable suede with breathable mesh panels, offering a great balance of longevity and ventilation while you skate. The triple-stitched reinforcement around the toe and ollie area ensures that these areas hold up longer than most skate shoes, so you can focus on skating rather than worrying about blowouts.

Classic Tread for Superior Grip:
The OG-1 features a classic herringbone tread pattern that provides reliable grip for flips, slides, and tricks. This tread-and-sole combo offers more support and protection than a typical vulcanized shoe, making it ideal for skaters tackling gaps, stairs, and rough terrain. The OG-1 gives you the stability and control needed for more demanding tricks, all while feeling responsive underfoot.

Authentic Design with Modern Comfort:
Even with its beefy build, the OG-1 becomes surprisingly skateable after just a short break-in period. The suede softens up and the cupsole flexes, offering that perfect mix of support and boardfeel that skaters crave. Emerica kept the original design details intact – subtle logo hits, a padded tongue with retro styling, and the overall shape that defined skate shoes of its time. It’s a piece of skate history, now more comfortable and performance-oriented than ever before.

Great looking shoe

Shoes are awesome! Toe cap seems tighter than on my skateshop day og1s, no need to size up on these for me. Colors are great!

SWICH THE TOE CAP BAG TO ORIGNAL

Love the shoes, colorways are sick… but terrible the decision to “modernize the shoe” and changing the toe cap to a bullet shape… it crunches your toes… I had to size up from 13 to 14 (see comparison on black and with shoes) you changed the material on the ankle area and now it pushes your toe forward… switch to first iteration of of the shoe add good quality insoles you have the perfect shoe.
I have bought over 20 pairs combined of every colorway you have re issues… I can give you a detail list of all the little changes you have made to the shoe from the MJ To the weird awkwardly shaped and fitting shoe that is is today… but you are ruining it… why change the toe cap WHY?

Favorite

Love this color way, the white tongue threw me off at first but I can always dye it black. The shoe is a comfortable cup sole with a good outer layering of suede protecting your toes and the side you Ollie with. The insole still allows board feel. I suggest having a back up pair of insoles if you want less board feel or really want to keep the shoes “puffy” . I’ve always wanted these shoes because I would always see Jake Phelps rockin them years after MJ left the team. So I knew there had to be something great about these shoes.

Shoe fits great!

Looks tight on foot, toe box is nice and spacious, it doesn't feel overly padded like other old school shoes are that suffocate your feet. I don't even want to skate them they're so sick. Good job with this reissue, dudes.
