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.

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.

Back by popular demand. A common call to arms, in a sense, and a bold reminder of the power of some ephemeral objects to retain relevance beyond their intended life span. Recognizing the popularity of the Marc Johnson 1, Emerica is relaunching the shoe for Spring ‘09. The shoe will retain the same suede upper with ventilating mesh, but comes with a new name, the O.G. 1. Certainly something to look forward too. 
Two color options for the shoe will release, head to the jump for detailed views of each.
