Emerica The Hoban
Braden Hoban’s first signature shoe is built for skaters who go big and don’t hold back. The Hoban blends classic high-top style with reinforced tech to handle long rails, heavy drops, and everything in between. The double-wrapped vulc construction and triple-stitched toe keep it durable where it counts, while the high-top design gives you that extra ankle support when you’re locking into something serious.
Inside, an EM-PACT insole cushions heavy landings, and elastic tongue straps keep your foot locked in when things get fast. The grippy Triangle Tread outsole gives you control on any terrain, and Braden’s signature welded “G” detail adds a clean finish. Tough, functional, and built to skate hard — The Hoban is made for riders who demand more from their shoes.
