In the video Zoo York 20 Years Strong, Brandon Westgate could be seen for the first time with his new pro model on his feet. Since then, the Emerica Westgate G6 has been the most discussed skate shoe on the internet. Especially the return of the runner toe, which was also seen on many skate shoes from the beginning of this century, led to a lot of enthusiasm (and some negative reactions).
Now that the shoe has been officially released on 11-12-13 (US date), everyone can judge for themselves whether the Westgate G6 lives up to its high expectations. If it were up to us, it would. The design is reminiscent of the technical shoes from the early 2000s, but is slightly narrower and less bulky. This clean look is combined with performance features like an ultra-light G6 cupsole, a Tri-Angle Tread pattern and flex grooves that give the Emerica shoes a broken-in feel right out of the box. We can't wait to skate on them!
