Jerry Hsu previously designed one of my favorite shoes of all time, but now he has come out with a new model that is somehow lighter, more comfortable, flexible and durable. I didn’t think it was possible but with the release of the Emerica Hsu 2 Fusion, Jerry Hsu has really outdone himself. His new model of skate shoes is built using STI Fusion Technology, in which the outsole, midsole, and upper are fused together to create an unbreakable bond that has a vulcanized look. And like his first shoe, it’s a mid-top. Jerry says that his ankles feel safer with a mid-top because he doesn’t like his ankles to be exposed. And it makes sense, with this mid-top your ankles are more secure and have less risk in rolling them. I should start wearing more mid-tops because I’ve torn the ligaments in my ankle a few times skating. Jerry’s new skate shoe also includes a thin padded tongue and collar and STI PU Foam™ Lite level 3 foot-bed for extra comfort. There is even an optional hidden lace flap so you won’t rip your laces. This shoe is amazing, and everyone who skates needs to try it out.
The original Jerry Hsu pro model was a mid-top, but it has just been rereleased as a low. I have had many pairs of the original Hsu and loved them, but now that they’re a low-top I think I may like them even better. It was designed, tested, and approved by Jerry Hsu. It is available with suede or canvas uppers, I recommend the suede. The Hsu Low Skate Shoe is very durable and extremely flexible, making it an amazing skate shoe. It features a thin padded tongue and collar, as well as a full-length internal polyurethane midsole, making it very comfortable. It also includes the STI PU Foam™ Lite level 3 foot-bed, and the double-wrapped vulcanized construction with a 400 NBS natural gum rubber outsole. I can’t wait to get a pair of these for myself.
