Emerica slip-on as a canvas – Jess Mudgett’s artful Western spin on the Wino G6 Slip-On, with G6 tech intact
Emerica’s collaboration with Jess Mudgett brings a fresh, artistic twist to the beloved Wino G6 Slip-On. Known for his work inspired by Western landscapes and Americana, Mudgett infuses the classic skate slip-on with cowboy charm and rustic imagery, creating a shoe that’s not only skate-ready but also a unique piece of wearable art.
Western-Inspired Aesthetic
• Canvas Upper with Western Motifs: The Wino G6 Slip-On x Jess Mudgett features a canvas upper that showcases line-art prints of desert scenes, Western patterns, and subtle motifs like a lasso, cactus, or cowboy imagery. The designs are minimal yet striking, capturing the rugged beauty of the open range and classic Western Americana. Jess’s custom artwork adds an artistic touch that’s perfect for skateboards and gallery walls alike.
• Earthy, Subtle Colorway: Instead of the typical dark tones, the color palette for this collab might lean toward earthy hues such as clay brown or dusty tan, giving the shoe a more natural, rugged aesthetic. The colors are understated, making it the perfect shoe to wear both on and off the board—ideal for skaters who want something different without making too loud of a statement.
• Custom Jess Mudgett Branding: Look closely, and you’ll find a custom Jess Mudgett logo either embossed on the flag label or stamped inside, further personalizing the shoe and acknowledging the collaboration with this talented artist.
Tech and Performance
While the Wino G6 Slip-On x Jess Mudgett is a visually distinctive piece, it stays true to the high-performance skate tech that makes the Wino G6 Slip-On so popular with skaters:
• G6 Foam Insole: True to form, this slip-on includes the G6 foam insole, ensuring that you get plush cushioning and impact protection during long skate sessions, without sacrificing boardfeel.
• Double-Wrap Vulcanized Sole: The shoe keeps the double-wrap vulcanized construction, which guarantees durability, boardfeel, and flex. The vulc sole construction is made for connection to the board and also ensures that the shoe can withstand rough landings and harsh street skating.
• Elastic Tongue Straps & Heel Anchor: The elastic tongue straps and heel anchor keep the shoe snug and secure on your foot, so you don’t have to worry about slipping off while landing flip tricks or hitting technical lines.
Material and Design Customization
While the tech remains unchanged, Jess Mudgett’s influence likely extended to the materials used in the shoe:
• Canvas and Suede Combination: A canvas and suede mix might be used in the upper to give the shoe a rustic feel and make it more durable. The canvas offers breathability, while the suede provides extra protection in high-wear areas like the toe and heel.
An Artistic and Functional Collab
Skating in the Wino G6 Slip-On x Jess Mudgett feels just as natural as skating in any other Wino G6 Slip, but the added artistic touch gives you a sense of individuality and connection to the Western-inspired design. It’s a shoe that tells a story, one of the open range, Western adventure, and the free-spirited nature of skateboarding. Whether you’re skating a DIY spot or simply wearing them for style, this collab is the perfect blend of art and function.
The Wino G6 Slip-On x Jess Mudgett proves that even the most minimalist skate shoe can be a canvas for creativity. Not only do you get trusted Emerica performance, but you also get the artistry of Mudgett, making each pair as much a piece of art as it is a tool for skating. Perfect for skaters who value style and function, this collab is an excellent addition to any skate shoe collection.
