Emerica Reynolds 2 Review

Overall Rating

A great skate shoe while they last designed by the only great one Andrew Reynolds A.K.A "THE BOSS".

These are probably the weakest skate shoes ever created in mankind, they tear and wear out so quickly, and they are very pricy.

It's probably a sort of hard decision if I would ever get Emerica Reynolds 2 again, probably not. Although it performs wonderfully like magic probably every aspect you would want put together in a good skate shoe. These comes with extra laces and the laces aren't your normal every day laces there very thick like shown in the picture above so that's a very positive thing because they'll last longer speaking laces wise. Its only double layers!! That's terrible speaking of how quickly it tears and wears out; I just recently got the black/silver ones in leather. I decided to skate with them on the first day my grip tape was very soft and smooth almost like a babies bottom because the repetitive times it got rained on over and over, I did a few flip tricks like 3 or 4 kickflips and I checked my shoe and pretty much all the laces in the kickflip area had come off, scraping marks were very clearly visible and it turned blue and these shoes are equivalent to the strength of toilet paper. Ok, ok enough dissing the shoe already now it's on to the positives of this shoe, speaking performance wise these are like magic. It was voted about number 4 or so on the 10 best skate shoes ever in this article in a skate magazine for performance. This model is very similar to the shape of the e`S accel because Andrew Reynolds said in an interview he really respected and liked the accel for its performance, so he wanted it to be pretty much just like his second pro model. The Reynolds 2s are comfortable and the material used is flexible and easy to break in after days. If you don't tighten these shoes well they'll fly off your feet easily there extremely loose so whenever I use these I wear my thick thick socks and lace them up tight as heck. There great for flip tricks they have wonderful flick and pretty good board feel and they just feel great for skating if strength was improved grandly these would probably be the rated higher then number 4 on the top ten skate shoes, who knows maybe number 1. These are very very pricy shoes and they don't last long at all, never ever, if u want a great shoe for skating but they last one hour then get them, if not get the better skate shoes priced less and last a lot longer like some good mark apple yard 707s or accels or my personal favourite the Adrian Lopez 202, get circas or accels, but I'm writing a review for emericas so get these ok, because there quite amazing for skating, now there the best skating wise other then that they suck!!
