Emerica vegan 2025


Updated 29 August 2025


There supposedly is a vegan colourway of the new Emerica "OG-1" (Marc Johnson model lookalike) - but I don't know which colourway. Maybe it isn't on the Emerica website yet.


Emerica "Low Vulc" tan blue green

Available as of March 2025

 
The Emerica website says:

"
THE LOW VULC HOLDS TRUE TO EMERICA QUALTIY AND DESIGN HERITAGE, FOCUSING ON MORE BOARD FEEL WITH ITS LOW PROFILE CONTROL WHILE STILL OFFERING THE SUPPORT OF A G6 INSOLE.
  • Vulcanized Construction
  • One Piece Vamp
  • Die Cut Eva Insole
  • Triangle Tread Outsole
  • Synthetic Suede
  • Vegan
"

I saw these two vegan Emerica shoes on the Switch and Signal website. I had not come across them before, I think, and I don't know what year they are from. Switch and Signal is a skate park and skate shop in Pennsylvania, USA, run by (I think) Kerry who used to do veganskateblog.com. Switch and Signal only sell vegan shoes - so if you're in the US, definitely try to buy from them!!!

Emerica "Cadence" [grey - not sure what the colourway is called exactly]



Emerica "Heritic" [black/tan]



Emerica "Heritic" [brown/black]

If you do a search on the Emerica website (as of August 2025), the Emerica "Heritic" colourway "brown black" also shows. But I'm guessing this is a mistake. In the description, it does not says vegan, synthetic, or animal-friendly, and the photo looks like it's probably animal-source suede (you cannot really tell from the photo). Proceed with caution - don't buy animal-source leather.
