Product Details
Braden Hoban’s debut pro shoe – a timeless high-top loaded with tech for grinding mile-long rails

Braden Hoban’s first signature shoe, The Hoban, is a skate shoe made without compromise. Designed for serious skaters, this high-top blends classic style with modern skate tech for maximum performance on even the most demanding tricks. Whether you’re grinding long handrails or sending massive drops, The Hoban has you covered.

Support & Stability:
The high-top design offers superior ankle support, giving you the confidence to hit big tricks and land hard. Paired with double-wrapped vulcanized construction, the shoe offers increased durability and flexibility — perfect for board feel without sacrificing strength.

Built to Last:
The triple-stitched toe cap and quarter panels feature a rolled edge for extra protection, so your flick stays sharp and the ollie area holds up to aggressive wear. For added durability, The Hoban comes with an optional lace protector, ensuring your laces stay intact through endless boardslides.

Shock Absorption:
Emerica’s EM-PACT shock-absorbing insole gives you the impact protection needed for high drops and hard landings. Whether you’re hitting a rail or landing from a big gap, your feet will stay cushioned and fresh.

Custom Fit:
Elastic tongue straps and a heel anchor system ensure a snug fit, keeping your foot locked in place during even the fastest skate sessions. The result? Stability when you need it most — no slipping, no slop.

Signature Design:
Braden’s personal touch is evident with a welded “G” detail on the medial side, giving the shoe a clean yet signature look that reflects his unique style.

Grip & Control:
Underfoot, a grippy 400 NBS rubber outsole combined with Emerica’s Triangle Tread pattern ensures consistent traction, offering reliable board control for any trick, any terrain.

Good try

They would be sick. Same sole shape as a provost. The pair I ordered were size. I received two shoes labeled size nine with the left shoe sizing to a nine but the right shoe is a baby shoe.

Love emerica but disappointed here with the Hobans

Love shoe design and look everything. All I wear is emerica. But the heel doesn't fit. Foot kept slipping out. And it's like an inshore heel compared to the tilt g6 vults I normally wear. Super awkward to get use to. Wore a day around house and hate the feel. Returning monday

Order one size smaller

Despite this being a negative review I won't diss Emerica being "the Brand" I grew up into and love since my childhood but guys be aware this shoe runs too large my foot like floats inside if you plan to buy these shoes to skate like I did poor me then just get them half or a full size smaller not sure whats wrong with Braden's feet I love the guy hes a beast but these shoes are like one size larger than the size you'd expect to get I cant caution enough about this.
