Product Details
Late-90s legend reissued – the OG-1 brings back a bulletproof cupsole and ’90s flair

The OG-1 is a time capsule from the late ’90s, bringing back a timeless Emerica silhouette for today’s skaters who crave that era’s style and toughness. Originally loved for its rugged build and classic aesthetic, the reissued OG-1 stays true to the form that made it an iconic part of Emerica’s history, but with a few modern upgrades to ensure it handles today’s demanding skateboarding.

Built for Durability:
The OG-1 features a full rubber cupsole that can take a beating. It’s been called “bulletproof” for a reason: this thick rubber outsole is designed to survive endless sessions of street and park skating, while the internal EVA midsole provides all-day comfort and impact protection. Whether you’re landing hard or grinding rough surfaces, the OG-1 keeps your feet protected and comfortable.

Tough Upper with Added Comfort:
True to the original design, the OG-1 combines durable suede with breathable mesh panels, offering a great balance of longevity and ventilation while you skate. The triple-stitched reinforcement around the toe and ollie area ensures that these areas hold up longer than most skate shoes, so you can focus on skating rather than worrying about blowouts.

Classic Tread for Superior Grip:
The OG-1 features a classic herringbone tread pattern that provides reliable grip for flips, slides, and tricks. This tread-and-sole combo offers more support and protection than a typical vulcanized shoe, making it ideal for skaters tackling gaps, stairs, and rough terrain. The OG-1 gives you the stability and control needed for more demanding tricks, all while feeling responsive underfoot.

Authentic Design with Modern Comfort:
Even with its beefy build, the OG-1 becomes surprisingly skateable after just a short break-in period. The suede softens up and the cupsole flexes, offering that perfect mix of support and boardfeel that skaters crave. Emerica kept the original design details intact – subtle logo hits, a padded tongue with retro styling, and the overall shape that defined skate shoes of its time. It’s a piece of skate history, now more comfortable and performance-oriented than ever before.

SWICH THE TOE CAP BAG TO ORIGNAL

Love the shoes, colorways are sick… but terrible the decision to “modernize the shoe” and changing the toe cap to a bullet shape… it crunches your toes… I had to size up from 13 to 14 (see comparison on black and with shoes) you changed the material on the ankle area and now it pushes your toe forward… switch to first iteration of of the shoe add good quality insoles you have the perfect shoe.
I have bought over 20 pairs combined of every colorway you have re issues… I can give you a detail list of all the little changes you have made to the shoe from the MJ To the weird awkwardly shaped and fitting shoe that is is today… but you are ruining it… why change the toe cap WHY?

The OG-1 delivers the grip, durability, and a confidence inspiring feel. Great for park skating! Always getting complements on the black and yellow too.

5 star Og's

These kicks really take it back to the Golden age of Emerica and skate shoes in general. We absolutely need more throwbacks brought back from the past like these!

SOLID SHOE.

Great shoe, holds up well. It’s not thin and that provides a lot of confidence and comfort when I’m skating.
