Emerica Proudly Launches Braden Hoban's First Signature Shoe: 'The Hoban' Now Available

Braden Hoban is an absolute beast. The dude has been on a total tear the last few years and he isn't slowing down one bit. In fact, things are only picking up! And if anyone deserves a signature Emerica model right now, it's definitely Braden. Have you seen his first pro model Emerica yet? Get a closer look at 'The Hoban' below:

"When designing the Hoban, Braden made no compromises in crafting the perfect skate shoe to complement his skateboarding," Emerica writes in the caption. "Balancing a timeless silhouette with a clean look and plenty of skate-tech is not an easy take, but neither is grinding a mile long handrail."

Ain't that the truth! If you're a fan of Emerica, Hoban or both, then I have to imagine these things are calling your name. They're just a solid, classic-looking skate shoe if you ask me. And the folks at Emerica certainly know a thing or two about making shoes for skateboarders.

From his mind-melting parts in more than a handful of local indie videos throughout the years to his Toy Machine parts and beyond, Braden has proven time and time again that he's one of the heaviest dudes in the game right now. What's even crazier is that he takes that same skill and grit to arenas and contest courses across the globe as well. It's a rare formula that not just anyone can claim.

We're stoked for Braden and know for a fact we'll be seeing more from him in the coming years. This hungry rookie pro is just getting started. Hide your handrails, kids! Because this dude is bound to come to your town and stake his claim. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
