Product Details
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 shoe, holds up well. It’s not thin and that provides a lot of confidence and comfort when I’m skating.
