First Look: Emerica Brings Back Classic Black/Yellow OG-1 Colorway for Holiday 2024
We got the black/tan/orange, we got the olive/tan... but Emerica brought back the OG-1 in black/yellow just in time for the holidays, and people are fired up. This is not a throwback CCS catalog photo. They're here. Get a closer look:
"Emerica is proud to reintroduce the iconic OG-1, one of our most demanded reissues," Emerica mentions. "A timeless silhouette from the late 90s, the reissued OG-1 features a bulletproof full rubber cupsole and a suede/mesh upper. It also includes triple stitch reinforcements in the high-wear zones for added durability and the classic herringbone tread for grip, just how you remember it. Made for the Emerica fans. Made for skateboarding."
Depending on how old you are, you might remember these as the Marc Johnson signature models, but I guess that's really here nor there. They're just oozing with nostalgia either way, and simply staring at them personally shoots me back to a special time in skateboarding. Young, dumb, naive... I can totally remember when skate shop shoe walls were filled with kicks like these. Anyone else?
I know I say that every time I talk about these re-releases, but I mean... I have to.
While I'd like to assume these are available at your local skate shop, you can get them on the Emerica site here. But check your local first!
Regardless, I've been loving these archival revivals. My closet is stacked. But whatever... there's always room for more. Add these to your collection of classics and I'll do the same.
