Emerica Hsu - Purple / White

Emerica Hsu - Purple / White

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!

  6. chez187 says:

    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’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.

  11. Requan Jones says:
