The Emerica skate team has been killing themselves to wrap up the new "Stay Gold" video to be released very soon. To commemorate these efforts, Emerica created a "Stay Gold" collection which features trippy psychedelic colors on canvas uppers, and spray painted outsoles....all of which are Vegan friendly!

The shoes featured in the pack are the Reynolds Cruisers - an ultra slim, low profile boat shoe which Andrew created to skate and chill in. The clean, simplistic styling hides a techy, super protective STI Foam Full-Length System G2 footbed on a vulcanized outsole. The Francis Lo - An Emerica team favorite. It's a thinned-out 80's inspired skate shoe built to shred. And last but definitely not least, the Laced - A team rider-inspired price point shoe thats great for chillin' and meant to be worn without laces.


Check out the "Stay Gold" collection and the latest and greatest Emerica has to offer in the Zappos Rideshop!

Skate Item of the Week: Element Omahigh Hi-Top Shoe

May 22, 2009 by Eisla Sebastian

Having the right pair of shoes on your feet makes all the difference. Not only do they help you to perform better on your skateboard or on the basketball court, but they also ensure that you look and feel good as well. Element Omahigh is one of the coolest types of hi-top shoes on the market today, take at look at this shoe before you make your next shoe purchase.

Element Omahigh - The Basics

Element Omahigh are hi-top shoes that retail for $79.00. They offer a medium width in men's sizes 7-14, with half sizes available. This shoe is made with a leather upper, blind sided ollie reinforcement and cold-connect construction. These shoes weigh in at about 15 ounces, they have a 15 inch circumference and a six inch shaft (based on the men's size 9 shoe.)

Element Omahigh - Styles

The Element Omahigh comes in three different color combinations. If you are looking for a dressier shoe, then the black and antique style is a good option. On the other hand if you are looking for a shoe with lots of personality and flare, then the brown, black, suede and mustang style is a better option. The third style is a great mediation between the flashy and the dressy. It offers a black, white and regal color combination.

The colors used in the Element Omahigh are neutrals so they will compliment just about any wardrobe. However, you will want to select the style of Element Omahigh that will work the best with the clothes that are in your closet. If you don't know which style to buy print out a color copy of each style and hold them up to your clothes. See which style works the best with your wardrobe basics or that gives your wardrobe the most pop.

Shoe Care

Since the uppers of the Element Omahigh are made from leather you will need to take extra steps to keep your shoes looking great for years. To start with you will want to weatherproof or waterproof your shoes. This can be done by using a commercial weatherproofing product designed for leather/suede shoes. You can find this product at shoe stores or online. Next you will want to clean your shoes regularly by brushing dry dirt off the suede or leather portions of your shoes. Finally, you will want to condition the leather portions of your shoes at least once a year. This will keep the leather supple and prevent it from cracking and peeling.
