Emerica Draws Running Inspiration on New Westgate Sneaker

But still skate-specific.

Much like Nike SB with the Project BA, Emerica has pulled running inspiration for Brandon Westgate's new signature model, the Westgate.

The skate-specific sneaker showcases a runner-esque midsole and toe, having implemented Forefoot Flex for immediate break-in and additional comfort. Tri-Angle Tread has been utilized on the outsole to aid in grip while boarding, while the upper of the sneaker has here been predominantly comprised of suede and canvas. This particular pair sports an overall blacked-out look, with Bronze accents detailing towards the heel and atop the tongue. Multicolored laces accompany the fresh skate option from Emerica, as you can go ahead and pick up a pair through select brand providers.
