Spanky's been in the game for a long time and he's still ripping. Emerica just released his third pro model shoe. Check it out plus some new clips from Kevin Long.

"With nods to the classics, Emerica proudly introduces the KSL III. This retro court silhouette is meticulously crafted for skateboarding with Spanky's hand involved in the design from start to finish. Classic vibves and next level performance. Triple-Stitched Toe Cap, Blind Seam Ollie Area, Drop-In EVA Foam Insole, Internal Empact Foam Heel Pod, 400NBS Rubber Outsole, Herringbone Tread Action Leather"

Clocking in at just one minute long, Spankdizzle's got some sick new tricks in here. Dude's pushing 40, right? FYI, that new Emerica logo was taken from the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

Lately with Emerica:

With a pared down team of just six dudes: Leo Romero, Spanky, Figgy, Stu Kirst, Jon Dickson, and Braden Hoban, Emerica is soldiering on with non-stop shoe and video output.

Can you believe the KSL1 came out in 2005, then the DOS came out in 2007? Remember the "Spanky" in 2008?

Check out an epic TWS Vault episode with Jason Hernandez, Spanky, and Leo Romero:
