Emerica, gets set to release another pro-model, this time it’s the Heath. In their words:

Heath Kirchart is proud to drop another bomb with a brand-new Emerica pro model shoe called the Heath.

Simple, light and chock-full of board feel, the Heath is Kirchart‘s best Emerica pro model ever. It’s military-styled, slimly-padded and vulcanized, with a one-piece toe panel and System G2™, which all add up to make the Heath one stylish, functional and durable skate shoe.

Check out the promo ad below. Looks like simple black and white initial colorways. Not a great shot of the shoe, but hopefully you get the idea…

mashKULTURE has the scoop on a new Emerica pro-model for team rider Bryan Herman. The shoe looks vaguely similar to the Nike 6.0 Drifer we covered a few weeks ago. Both black nubuck and white canvas versions feature a classic vulcanized sole. Overall it seems like all the brands are coming out with these clean and simple styles. Probably good timing since they’re cheap and easy to market.

Overall they seem like fairly solid additions, with the Braydon clearly leading the pack. Head on down to your local retailer (or online retailer) to give them a test run.
