Emerica Hoban Shoes. Braden Hoban’s first signature shoe, The Hoban, is a skate shoe made without compromise. Designed for serious skaters, this high-top blends classic style with modern skate tech for maximum performance on even the most demanding tricks. Whether you’re grinding long handrails or sending massive drops, The Hoban has you covered. The high-top design offers superior ankle support, giving you the confidence to hit big tricks and land hard. Paired with double-wrapped vulcanized construction, the shoe offers increased durability and flexibility — perfect for board feel without sacrificing strength.

The triple-stitched toe cap and quarter panels feature a rolled edge for extra protection, so your flick stays sharp and the ollie area holds up to aggressive wear. For added durability, The Hoban comes with an optional lace protector, ensuring your laces stay intact through endless boardslides. Emerica’s EM-PACT shock-absorbing insole gives you the impact protection needed for high drops and hard landings. Whether you’re hitting a rail or landing from a big gap, your feet will stay cushioned and fresh. Elastic tongue straps and a heel anchor system ensure a snug fit, keeping your foot locked in place during even the fastest skate sessions. The result? Stability when you need it most — no slipping, no slop. Braden’s personal touch is evident with a welded “G” detail on the medial side, giving the shoe a clean yet signature look that reflects his unique style. Underfoot, a grippy 400 NBS rubber outsole combined with Emerica’s Triangle Tread pattern ensures consistent traction, offering reliable board control for any trick, any terrain. Imported.
