Vegan Emerica skate shoes (2023 collection)

Collection of all vegan colorways by Emerica shoes for the year 2023:

Updated 8 January 2024

Figgy G6 "Grey" (only this colourway is vegan)

Says the Emerica website: "Why mess with perfection? Because you can improve on it. When Figgy [Justin Figueroa] sat down to design the Figgy G6, he kept coming back to what made his original shoe so great. So we took that upper, stiffened it up a bit and bilt it on the tried and true G6 cupsole using our signature pour-in G6 foam for unmatched cushioning and support."
  • Synthetic suede
  • Vegan"
Note that the inner side of the shoe has a mesh vent, which I like a lot.

After Leo Romero's new Emerica video (video not video part), "SKATER" (and the accompanying "The way we move"), many a non-animal-killing skater may be inclined to buy a Leo Romero deck or ... shoe ... and Emerica has just come out with a vegan suede Leo shoe. The "Laced" is a very plain shoe. A while ago, I had a pair of blue "Laced" with an all-canvas upper and, surprisingly, loved them. 

Romero Laced "Grey Black Yellow" (only this colourway is vegan ... apart from any all-canvas colourways) [new vegan colourway(s) in 2024]

Says the Emerica website: "Designed, tested, and 100% skateboarding approved by Emerica pro Leo Romero, this updated version of the Emerica classic Laced features a low profile cupsole for increased boardfeel, Emerica Triangle Tread pattern with high-density rubber heel drag pod for maximum grip and durability, and a tongue stabilizing wing for a snug fit if you decide to grind up a rail. Boo-yeah!
  • One-Piece Toe CapTongue Stabilizing “Wings”
  • Triangle Tread
  • Low Profile Cup Sole Construction
  • Synthetic Suede/Canvas
  • Vegan"

I love that these have canvas in the midsection.
