After setting up shop in Slam’s Covent Garden store basement earlier this year, Emerica once again teamed up with Slam, along with their friend and illustrator Arran Gregory, to produce an exclusive collaboration version of the Laced shoe.

Featuring Arran’s distinctive custom artwork on the insole and box art, and the Slam ‘rat signal’ logo on the tongue in homage to the London skate scene, the shoe is a classic make up with a black suede toe piece and canvas upper. The sneaker is available exclusively at Slam City Skates stores and in their online store. Also make sure to check out the video here below, featuring Arran Gregory and Emerica UK rider Tom Knox.

Gareth Skewis, co-owner of Slam City Skates, talks about the Altamont x Emerica concept store in the basement of Slam City, Covent Garden.

From 6th – 17th April 2010 professional skateboarder, owner of skateboard company ToyMachine, photographer, illustrator and painter Ed Templeton will be exhibiting his show ‘Drinking the Kool-Aid’ at Elms Lesters Painting Rooms in London.

Emerica and Altamont today open a concept store in the basement of iconic London based skate shop Slam City Skates. From the press release: “You can now check out the largest selection of Emerica and Altamont products available under one roof in Europe. And if you’re tired from strolling around in London for a day, you can always have a rest on the Victorian chaise lounge in the basement. Just sit back, watch and get inspired by the Emerica and Altamont team riders that you see skateboarding on the big plasma screen.” To coincide with the grand opening (Saturday, March 20th) there will be promos and giveaways throughout the day.

To celebrate the release of their debut album, The Goat & the Occasional Others, a Los Angeles-based garage band which formed in 2007 by two skateboarders (Andrew Reynolds, Shane Heyl), they got together with Neckface and Emerica on a limited sneaker pack. Not only the sneakers feature graphics by Neckface, but also their album cover, as well as special skateboard decks and t-shirts that are being released along with the album.

Detailed images of the Neckface designed album cover, CD, t-shirt, skateboard deck and of course both Emerica sneakers follow after the jump.

The G-CODE!!! (yes, in all-caps with three exclamation marks) is Bryan Herman’s third Emerica pro model. It’s “a thinner, low profile skateboard shoe with a one-piece seamless toe for no blow-outs, STI Foam™ footbed for comfort and Non-Slip Desert Grip™ to help keep ya skills up.” In addition to a number of more straight forward color-ups, the shoe is available in a collaborative Shake Junt make up. Out now at Emerica retailers. (via Brian Jones @ Rad Collector)

Emerica continues to work with skateboarder/artist Ed Templeton. They have now come out with the Archer high top sneaker in two colorways – one of them comes in all black with red lining and the other one features a furry safari pattern over most of the upper. Both sneakers feature a special Ed Templeton tag on the side-panel. The sneakers are now available from Dedue.

Continuing with the DIY theme of their forthcoming video Stay Gold, Emerica created a pack of psychedelic canvas sneakers with spray painted soles. Each of Reynolds Cruisers, Francis Lo, and Laced received the treatment, and now available now at select Emerica retailers.

Ed Templeton worked with Randy Randall and Dean Allen Spunt of experimental rock group No Age on a special make-up of his signature Emerica shoe The Archer. Since all three are vegan, the shoe is made entirely of organic, synthetic materials, yet is designed to weather the abuse of skateboarding. The shoe also sports a red/yellow/blue No Age logo on the tongue with matching sole coloring.

The release of the Archer coincides with the release of No Age’s new 4 song EP that dropped earlier this month on Sub Pop Records entitled Losing Feeling in which Ed collaborated with No Age and designed the cover of the EP. Available in stores now for Holiday 2009.
