Emerica SU19 Catalog

What inspired you for the new shoe? I had this exact shoe in mind for a long time. I’ve been looking for one like this everywhere. So when we talked about designing a shoe, I knew exactly how I wanted it it to look and feel. I knew the shape and you guys executed it perfectly. First try! Whats your day to day look like lately? I’m working on two art shows right now so it starts with a few hours in my home studio drawing and drawing. Then skating in the afternoons around here in LA. Curb warm-ups and then

jumping by sundown on a good day. Lots of dog walks too. What music is on heavy rotation for you right now?

It’s always all over the place. This week has me on a heavy Jonathan Richman kick. Willie Nelson too. And there’s typically plenty of Velvet Underground and Can. How long have you been on Emerica?

16 years I think! Can that be true? How did Boogie get her name? When we first got her we realized that she kinda dances when she walks. She just boogies down the street. Best trend/Worst trend? Nut Milks/Headphones at the skatepark....DEFINITELY Most recent BEST purchase? 2004 Subaru Forester baby Most recent WORST purchase? The AC doesn’t work in my 2004 Subaru Forester...baby
