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!
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?
This is literally my favorite shoe ever. Love the shape and style and fit. Its dissapointing that y'all would cheap out this much on the soles. ive gone through 3 pairs in the last year and every time i blow holes in the soles within a month or two. And im not a hardcore skater either. Just from light skating and walking. The sole is made with this like hollowed out grid pattern instead of being solid rubber all the way through. You can see the grid pattern when the holes in the sole start to form. Havent experienced this with any other shoe from emerica or any other brand. Sucks especially for how much you're charging and because the suede upper is such high quality and long lasting. If you were to just make a solid sole it would be the best shoe ever. For now ive switched to other shoes. Let me know when you guys fix it and i'll start buyin em again!
Hey Nico,
Thanks for the feedback on the OG-1. Feedback like this helps us to constantly improve our shoes. I have passed this info on to our design team.
BEST SKATE SHOE ON EARTH. The original Marc Johnson og1 is the goat! 🐐 keep these colorways coming!
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.
