Emerica Skateboard Shoes Mute Black/White – 13

Originally part of Emerica’s inaugural 1996 lineup, the Mute returns by popular demand, remastered for a new generation of skaters. Emerica dug into the archives and brought back this team favorite, refining it with todays technology while keeping its superior durability and comfort intact.

The Mute keeps the legendary features that made the original a team go-to, starting with a double-layer, triple-stitched toe cap and an ollie pad. These upgrades ensure that the shoe can withstand the punishment of aggressive skating, from flip tricks to long sessions, without worrying about blowouts. Its a tough, reliable skate shoe that will last for the long haul.

Elastic tongue straps provide a snug, secure fit, giving you the locked-in feel of a modern slip-on, while still retaining the traditional lace-up look. The tongue stays in place, ensuring that you get consistent comfort and support throughout your entire session.

Inside the heel, an internal EM-PACT foam pod provides targeted cushioning to absorb the shock of big drops and landings. This foam pod protects your heels without adding unnecessary bulk to the forefoot, allowing for the perfect balance of comfort and boardfeel. Additionally, the EM-PACT Foam Heel Pod provides a consistent, comfortable feel underfoot whether youre cruising or jumping down stairs.

True to its roots, the Mute features a classic 400 NBS rubber outsole with a herringbone tread pattern, offering excellent grip and durability. This is the same sticky rubber that made the original Mute a team favorite, and its just as effective today as it was back in 1996.

Despite all the modern updates, the Mute stays true to its original 90s silhouette. It has a slightly padded collar, straightforward paneling, and a ready to shred vibe straight out of the box. Its a classic look that never goes out of style and is built for high-performance skating.
