It holds true to the original’s stripped-down design and boardfeel focus, while integrating modern upgrades to deliver a shoe that’s perfect for today’s skaters.
Cushioning Without Sacrificing Boardfeel:
To improve the comfort that older vulcs lacked, Emerica added a G6 foam polyurethane footbed for cushioning and support. This insole gives you extra protection when you land hard, making it easier to skate longer without dealing with foot fatigue or bruising. Even though the Low Vulc has a thin, low-profile design, the G6 insole ensures you’re supported when you take a heavy bail or land off a ledge.
Durability and Performance:
The upper of the Low Vulc is built for durability, with a one-piece toe panel to prevent ollie blowouts and double-stitching in high-stress areas to withstand heavy flips and slides. The refined heel area and minimal padding provide a snug, responsive fit, offering just enough comfort to keep your foot locked in without compromising the shoe’s slim silhouette.
Premium Outsole for Grip and Longevity:
Emerica’s signature Triangle Tread pattern provides excellent grip on the board, while a high-density heel drag section increases the shoe’s longevity for skaters who brake with their heels. The vulcanized construction delivers that boardfeel skaters love, but with a touch more durability and longevity than typical old-school designs.
