Good Points

The suede on this shoe lasts a looooooooonggggg time
The soles are super grippy and lasts long too
Retro styling, i know lots of people say this but the look like the MJ1's
An optional lace protecting flap on the front two lace holes of the shoe (if you want to protect you laces)
The new models of the tilts come with sti foam level 2 that doesn't flatten out fast
Breathable because of the perfs all around the shoe
One of the best Emerica models there is

Bad Points

Suede might or might not last for you depending on how you do your flips
no heel cushioning system (the shoe could do with g2)

General Comments

The Emerica Tilts were invincible to me actually. They lasted a good four months of constant flipping. I had the olive coloured model which i bought for 40$ from my local skate shop. These were my favorites to skate in because of the simple stylish look of it. Most people say that suede sucks because it rips fast but for me its one of the most long lasting shoe because it wears down instead of leaving a spot behind like leather. I've skated both the older versions of the tilts which did not feature sti foam level 2 (with integrated heel counter for stability lol) but they both skated amazing because sti foam is just an insole which doesn't flatten out fast and is also kinda cushiony for when your skating stairs. These shoes have amazing flick for the kickflip area and doesn't wear out too fast for the areas in which you do your heelflips. The shoe also has loads of perfs scattered around the shoe which ensures that your feet dont get sweaty and has this white layer under the suede when it rips which increases the longevity of the shoe. Buy the Emerica Tilts if your looking for a cheap, highly skateable, stylish looking shoe. It performed well enough for me and i think that it will also do you guys great.
