Emerica teams up with professional skater-photographer Jerry “Asian Elvis” Hsu, who applies his skills in art and design in his signature shoe model.
Here’s a more detailed look at the ever-popular Emerica Hsu - Purple / White.
The mid-top features a purple and white suede upper complemented with black inner lining and laces. The shoes are easy on the eyes, but for a real treat take a peek into the shoes themselves and check out two of his portraits printed on the insoles! Talk about mixed media art…
This pro shoe offers lots of technical advantages as well. With a vulcanized rubber outsole, triple-stitched toe cap, and STI Foam Level 1 footbed cushioning, you get a durable yet comfortable shoe. Throw in the optional lower lacing system, and thin padding in the tongue and collar and you’re in the biz.
Find these shoes at your local Emerica retailers and make your feet a walking art exhibit!

i dont really like these they look like a remake of high top van
I dont like these so much
These do look like a cheaper version of a pair of vans. The color is bad too.
I like the color (purple is cool) but other than that they don’t look amazing…
i agree with you guys def looks like a knock off of the half cabs but i do like purple
honestly not too bad. these are something i would have worn when i was skatin. but they do resemble the halfs a little to much. it seems like emerica is runnin out of ideas. the purple black and white is a good colorway combo tho.
I like the ones with the strap better, these look a little like half cabs
somethin about purple shoes tht i like but these are too plain.
id buy these if they had some more color, i like the purpple tho
I’m really feelin the purple suede on these joints. I’d like them a lot more if they put some gold accents in there, then they’d look royal.
i like the suade puple. dey could be better if dey put some red in there. it would look real flashy and stylist.
i forgot to add that i would def. would where dem but you cant where them all the time… too much puple :p sorri lol
looks a nice pair of skate board kicks might get a pair
like the purple
Purple is my favorite color but im not too much feeling these. I would would wear them to skate but when im practicing.
These are cool, once again I couldn’t wear them because they look to much like vans to me.
These are better.
These I could handle wearing.
even tho i am not a skateboarding fan i would still rock these out on the streets
These arent too badd. I love the purple color. Kinda do look a lor lyke vans. They would be better a high tops tho.
you couldnt pay me to wear these.. Ewwwww
Sorry KOF, not a fan of these ither.
these would be better in high tops on the real but purple wit gold accents is piff
I like these but what is on the tongue?
I LIKE PURPLE SO TEHY ARE WORTH Y TO BE ON MY FEET.

Too much like the half cabs.
