they shoes are banging nigga, especially rodrigo's new yellow and black colourways
looking good except for the murray and the rideaway, I mean is there really a point in releasing those?
I like both of those shoes. Would I skate in them? Probably not. But not every shoe has to be for skating.
Whoa, looks like thehotcrew is up. I should have thought to hotlink the word Footwear myself. I'll get it right next time.
Yeah I guess so Josh, but I guess I can't see anybody skating those, and I though you guys aimed for this shoe to be skated in instead of just a chill shoe. But I guess I'm wrong, maybe they skate good, you should review them for us Josh...
i think the rideaway's awesome. and the murray's look good for just hangin out
i'm waiting for the antisocial to come out. until then, i'm gonna skate my blk synth. accels, and buy some rowley xl3s
The Standards look great - they remind me of the MJ-3s. I am definitely getting a pair of the new Black Suede/Gum Accel Pluses, and some of those Black/Green/White Accelerates - those are some nice shoes.
Where are the Radle ? and the retro line ??
Good colorway for the cradle... !
Ay they're all pretty awesome. I like the Accel all black with that white smudge in it, it's awesome. I like to see the Ladd's in there (My favourite shoe)
Love the color's , es rock. But whats up with the accel plus not having g2 and the accelerates not having full impact g2?
Be buying me some Standards thats for sure!
is it just me or have they taken alot of things away from the shoes, like System G2 and stuff like that, i cant remember but im fairly sure the accelrates had it
As always there's some amazing skate shoes in there, the new accelaerate colorways look sick. Three problems though, Maccel, why d'ya need a bad version of the accel when you already have 3 good ones. Rideaway, looks like a moon boot, and Murray, who designed it? it's terrible Reebok tax.
All of the new released 'eS shoes look tight. I think the new color accel look tight. The Black and White. The Murray remind me of the Derbys of liitle bit. All shoes look awsome.
Penny is god
man new white penny 2 looks dope, but it wouldbe awsome if it was completely white,and its good to see that the brown gum will always stand strong, and the k7 would look good,l if it was all white with lakers colours
i don't like the backwards tread on the whatever's, they look like they would hook the edge of my board. the rod's have nice colers, the accels also
i dont see whats wrong with the Maccels. i think they look tight
make some more accel colourways cuz im getting bored with these already man except the black with with white lower i 'll probably end up buying that when it comes out in england
Yeah, somebody just copid the feautres from the accel and accidently put them on the other pages - I'm pretty sure that the Accelerates still have Full Impact G2
What up dudes, been a while right?
Ok, Accel Plus does have the g2 heel and the accelerates have the full impact g2 system. If it doesn't say it on the site some one forgot to write it in (hint to those who work here). The standard is a dope looking basic shoe..we figured we could make a simple shoe even better and we did. Cale skated in them and liked them.
Benny- We got some K7 lakers colors coming out so hang in there.
I just got one of Kostons old set ups. I'm going to see if he will sign it and maybe we can do a blog giveaway or some shit like that.
Are the ek o1's done?
I really like the new colourways on the Accelerates,
I'm definitely getting a pair now.....
All black suede baby!
Though the green ones are pretty sick too.
When exactly do these new colors hit shops?
wow u guys really screwed up the accels with those new colorways, soo ugly, and those maccel just a tech. version of accels, looks wicked ugly, the retarded brother of the accels, the only good looking colorways i must say are the Penny 2s cuz he knows what stlye, nothing will match those new colorway accels u gotta think about what clothing u can match it with, looks wiked hesh and gay. And the Rideway, wow u might as well let it ride away from the productioin line cuz its horrific. Im not a hater, iv been supporting u guys since 1999. Please, keep it simple and not tech. leave that to Osris or Globe
I like most of the shoes the murray's are a cool looking show that I would definatley just chill in if not skate. I dont know for some reason I like the maccel, but maybe its because I like the tech look. The rideaway I have mixed feelings on, I like the brown and the black but I dont like the grey textured stuff on the other one. I don't really like the K7's, not saying its a bad shoe, just not my style. New accelerate colors=awesome. And I just cant make myself say anything bad about the accels, because there.. accels, no matter what color they come in.
Most of the shoes are sick. gotta give props to the colors too! do the accelerate and accel plus come with sti foam level 2 because my white/blue snake skin accel plus come with it
eS forever
One shoes better have G2. EK-01 whattttt! you guys cant take that. Bring back the K3s full impact and airbag together sell like hotcakes.
Bring back accels in full grain leather noty suede in black grey and white the hottest accels ever.

you my friend have NO idea what you are talking about, but this is about opinions so i guess i wont say anymore
theMW says:
Rideaway, looks like a moon boot
Moonboots are pimp...just look at Napoleon Dynamite
The new colorways are totally sick. I've always skated éS and with these new colorways I'm deffinalty ganna be skating them all this summer. The only thing that i'm hoping doesn't happen (because you guys released the standard) is éS shoes will be sold in like Pac Sun or some mainstream shoe shop. Right now, if u you were éS it shows u care about skating and will go out of ur way to get the best shoes. If u guys sell it all like Foot locker or some shit then the posers will come out and eat these up. Thats lame and i just hope it doesn't happen. Other than that, u guys scored with the new shoes and i'll be skating es all summer!
...És-pecially the yellow n black Rodrigos. They really kick ass!
The new shoes are some real bs! the soles are all fat and stoopid! and the tongues are all effed up, they got the mainstream ass look now, eS is losing uniqueness! Although i will say that the colorways are pretty sick.
is synth good?
The new shoes look terrible.............how is someone suposed to skate the murray. Although the new colors of the old shoes are good especially the accel plus.
they already said that the murray isnt exactly made for skating
so whats up with the Radle and i thought that the rovers and the contracts were gonna be in éS forever like the Accel, well i dont know if Accel is going to be in éS forever but they were good into éS
oh well at least they have new shoes and have to get rid of some .
bring back the K3 and dont make anymore of the pink koston 7 not the brown/tan/pink, but the pink/black, stay away of pink not good for eS here a picture for those who havent seen them:
http://www.skateparkoftampa.com/spot/imageviewer.aspx?img=images/asr04kostonshoe.jpg
Vince - Not every shoe we make has to be for skating in. I like the Murray and the Rideaway. (as I said earlier in this thread) Everyone remain calm. Their are plenty of shoes in the line-up you can skate in.
Ok, Accel Plus does have the g2 heel and the accelerates have the full impact g2 system. If it doesn’t say it on the site some one forgot to write it in (hint to those who work here). The standard is a dope looking basic shoe..we figured we could make a simple shoe even better and we did. Cale skated in them and liked them.
craig- dont you work there?
my girl would like one of those!
Alex
www.skateparkoftampa.com/spot/imageviewer.aspx?img=images/asr04kostonshoe.jpg
all get my ass kiced if i wore those shoes but those shoes look tight when do they come out?
hey wahts up with the smudge o nthe accels black wit hwhite soles??
is it just a mistake well craig is it?!?!?!?!/ ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh jk
i think all the new shoes are sick as fuck exept for the standard it looks too much like K6 "too simple" the murrays would be fuckin awesome if they were in a white and red color combo, and ya the all pink K7's look as sad as a homosexual in sanfrancisco with lockjaw
those new black accels with white sole would be so sick if it wasnt for that stupid shiny thing. they should be all black suede with white sole
THE NEW SHOES ARE SO KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I noticed that the Accels aint got the Sti Level 2 Footbed anymore. It says they gone back to the EVA footbed with removable arch support. Is this right?. I actually prefer the EVA footbed, its comfier.
All the new shoes and colorways are awsome except for the Murray and the Standard. The Murray looks like some Hurley shoe rip off, and the Standard looks like the same shoe every company has a variation of.
What I think you guys at eS should do is have all of us vote for our favorite colors of past accels and accel pluses, and whatever wins you bring them back out for a season. The accel colors could be better, but you already used up most of the good colorways in the past years.
you guys need a shoe archieve showing all the shoes from way back when in all colourways and stuff.
that would be sick.
hahaha i think my g/f would not use skate shoes i mean never she thinks they are too wide wich they are.
i think it would always go well to see the sole of the shoe because i always like to see what is underneath my shoe before i go all the way to a skateshop and then realize that the sole is not really what i expected, im saying kind of like a 3D spin thing like the one Vans uses (i hate vans ).
smudge? i'd say its some shiny ass leather. i like it. its the same leather on them jordan XIX's i think. i'm gonna jump on those black/ gum and blue/ grey/ white accel plusses. the texture on the black- i've seen that on some nikes. is that ostrich? somethin like that. idk. looks hot tho.
Murray = Holy shit! A non-skate shoe from Sole Tech that isn't made by Emerica or Etnies! I like them, actually.
Standard = Why does every company need to have a shoe that looks exactly like this? Oh yeah, because they sell good. And because it's a damn good design.
Rideaway = Horrible fuck up, didn't you notice that all your other over-techy looking shoes didn't sell well? Or did they sell great and I'm on the wrong planet?
K7 = Just as mediocre as all of his other shoes.
Maccel = What makes this version of the Acccel so special that a shoe this ugly with such bad colorways needed to be added to the eS line? Does it skate amazingly or something? Because that's the only thing that would save this design.
I like the idea of a shoe archive. It'd give us sneakerheads something to look at when it's raining or when boredom sets in. What the fuck are you thinking, taking the Koston 1's off the line? With eS taking up the rear in the Sole Tech sales department, you'd think that It'd be time to NOT make any more bad designs and keep the classic old ones. So what do you do? Add one terrible shoe, three mediocre, and one good, and take out your best shoe and probably the best design in Sole Tech history. I'm a fan of eS and hate to see you guys making errors like this. Around these parts everyone wears shoes from the Accel family or Nike, and that's about it. So why not just capitolize on Accels and pro models instead of releasing mountains of dreary team designs? I can't say I understand your marketing here. Nonetheless, good luck with the new line: if they sell than great and if they don't then maybe it's a lesson learned.
Craig and/or Josh:
Can you list a rundown of what colorways from the new Fall collection are all synthetic? I (and others, I'm sure) would REALLY appreciate it.
PS
I picked up my first pair of Accel Plus (black synthetic colorway). Room for improvements, but overall the fit, cushioning, and boardfeel are great. Glad to finally have a pair on my feet.
all the shoes are heeeeeeeellllllllla sick and heeeeeeeeeeeella sick. the murrays look suuuuuuuuuuuper sick i would deeeeeeeeefinately skate them if they didnt have that sole. the rideaways are okay, i dont really like them now but ill probably grow to love them just like the radles. by the way, what happened to those shoes? they were out for like a season! oh yeah, the standard is god, and the black and white accels have the smudge cuz its just some shiny leather like they put on prada high heels!
That photo of the Black Accel is messed up. They are all black suede. That color looks like that in the catalog too. Must be the same picture.
Those new colorways r so frikin SIK as hell!!!
the best part........the the black accels with the white sole. those are the best shoes ive seen in quite some time.
what catalog
The one that shops get.
I take what I said back. That part is shinny. It just looks odd in the photo. I need to pay more attention. =(
All good but the murrays... they dont look good. I Love Every Color and style!
I want a chance to get the mack but they took them off the site and no shop or website have them...Hook Me UP!
The blue grey and white accel pluses are fucken hot. I want a pair so bad.
All of the new shoes are still gay a hell. And why the hell would a skate company make a shoe thats not for skating in, or some ugly ass shoes that look like the rest of the ones the world is making?! WTF! Accel's are a great example of eS's uniqueness and originality and they had to go and fuck it up with a show that looks like it was fucking made by DC and sold in fucking pacsun
i'll always skate eS but the can't do this, all the shoes were tight like the cradles and the k6's and then they got this mondo tech ass look and its retarded.... im just dissatisfied
I really like the Accel Plus. I got them at APB and skated out of the shop with them they were kinda hard but a few days of skating in them they felt great. It is the best skate shoe in the world. The Rodrigo TX brown n' orange looked like something I would wear. 'es should made the Accel plus in chocolate brown. : ) I agree with Austin why does a skate shoes company made shoes you can't skate in.That makes no sence I don't care if you're just chilln' damnit just wear the shoes you skate with what happened to just doing that? That's is what I do. Oh yeah tell all the SKATE shoe companies to stop making shoes that We can't skate in. I don't have the money to buy a pair of shoes to chill in I'm not Mr. Rogers! What?, now I have to change into a whole new outfit when I'm chilln' .Fuck no I'M NOT MR.ROGERS DAMNIT STOP TELLING ME TO BE LIKE HIM.
Shit I spelled Mr. Rodgers wrong.That's what I get for going on a buds bender : ( I wonder how many brain cells I killed.I think the only reason I stop was I ran outta buds And I hate paying for buds so I quit.
When does PJ's shoe come out? Spring 2006? I'll buy Pj's pro model shoes when they come out! Pj's SICK!
won't you be my neighbor?
Hey i reckon those pink K7s would be mad, their is pretty much no pink shoes like that out their and a fair few people would rock em' so i say MAKE THE PINK K7, ohh yeah
Not to brag, but that Mr. Rodgers shit is so funny. I don't know any of you foreign kiddies will get that joke.PBS KICKS CORPORATE TELEVISION'S BEHIND!!!
Oh yeah, don't stop making the Accel Plus. I mean business bucko!!
no one said you CAN'T skate in them...
The Cramer and the Maccel are way to similiar in design.
im really liking the standards.
Hey i kind of noticed that you got rid off my post? UH WHY? is it because i said system g2 sucked? its just an opinion maybe it lasts other people for years.
N E 1 know if eS have stopped making Accels with an STI insole & gone back to the EVA insole?, because the Accel description says EVA (which I prefer actually!)
Hey why dont we see White shoes using Suede rather than Leather. I'd love a pair of Accels in White Suede!!
Seriously what the fuck are those MACCELS???
SOme tech accel?????????Shit.....You guys destroyed the accel legend with those fucking sneakerrs.......Hope you guys be a little sensate and put some Pj or rodrigo pro shoes...
Not feeling much of anything besides the Accels and K7's.
Too tech for my liking
And I was so disapointed to see that stupid shiny plastic on the Black and White Accels, they just should have been black suede with a white sole.
white suede would not stay white
b0risbear LOVES ACCELS.- have you seen some white suede? white in suede doesn´t really look white and they get dirty real quick and it´s imposible to take the stain off the shoe and when you skate on them the white turns gray.
(no offense)
Craig and/or Josh:
Can you list a rundown of what colorways from the new Fall collection are all synthetic? I (and others, I’m sure) would REALLY appreciate it.
is it just me or are the maccels nearly INDENTICAL to the cramers? they look pretty much the same, hav similar colourways, and nearly indentical features. take a look for urself, im sure im right.
i would like to see the k6.5 and some more colorways of the ANTISOCIAL.
do you Guys (Craig/Josh P.) think you could do that not only for me but for everyone else here.
By the way when is the K6.5 coming out?
And are they gonna be the same colorways before?
I like the black/orange/green and white ones those were pretty cool but never found them.
Daim sam now you mention it there their pretty much the same shoe!
What I don't understand is why és are all 'were pure skate company' then they bring out non skate shoes...seems a bit odd, maybe there just in it for the money...replace maybe with blatently!
And whats with és having verticle toecaps on pretty much all of their shoes, my sources tell me the sole tech factory moved just before the ek-01 came out...damn you wrecked that shoe, its got like a verticle brick wall of a toecap on it!
i think you should put G2 in the rodrigos. i had some black rodrigos and they were awesome, really comfortable and lasted me quite a while, the only bad part is i got heel bruises a lot.
what is up with the murray?!? its not right!
What's up with that white sude bullshit is it some inside joke I was not included in huh?? What you don't want to tell me. So I'm I always going to be the person that never knows what's going on with the cool people. Damnit I wanna be cool too. I guess I have to become like Mr. Rodgers and be a manic that changes my clothes/shoes every time that I go out. AND YOU MR. $OOp3r dOOd why are you backing up some shoes. Damn there just shoes that you can't skate in. No one told me you can't skate in them you could tell by just looking at them. I have a question for you do you even skate?? I mean if you look at the make up of that shoe, it's unskateable. If I wanted to break my neck hell yeah I would rock those shoes. I got a pair of IPATH shoes they were called Ashanti, it kinda looked like the Murray. I don't skate in them. They're like platforms shoes. FOR REAL!! *** NO DISRESPECT TO 'ES LOVE THE ACCELS!!!***
PEOPLE: The Murray is NOT a Skate shoe!
Hey Craig or Josh, are there plans on putting out the all pink K7's that Koston wore at the game of skate at ASR?
yes i do skate or i wouldnt be here.
do the accelerates have the system flo2? just wonderin
o nevermind
the black/grey/dark grey plusses are tight. they look just like the old marine blue and grey ones!
is there still g2 and g2 full impact in accel plus and accelerate...its not listed in the features
i´ve realized that the koston7 in the display picture has a rubber thing in the heel part, and then the little colrway icons dont have it and also the picture of the pink koston7 have the rubber thing too.
is the rubber thing only for special guys like Koston, or McCrank, Penny, etc.?¿Can you explain this (josh/craig)??¿¿
when i write this stuff i think you guys at és take it as an offense but no offensés here.
MAKE THE TOM PENNY 2 LOWWWWWW!!! PLEASE
i agree with anna. the mr rogers was funny because its true. my skate shoes are my "chill" shoes, my work shoes, and my church/dress shoes-duct tape toes, tied up broke laces and all. but the accels are all nice, the maccels arnt too bad in my opinion, pennys and tx are good but i dont think i would wear em. kostons never interested me after the second ones, i think they just kept getting worse, but the new ones look like they would be cool after they got all messed up from skaing in. standard is just what the name says. just your standard skate shoe. im not really into teck stuff so the others arnt really my thing either, and the murry? what were you guys thinking. i hate to say it but i dont think the designs are going down the right track as of now.
oh ya and a low top penny and some choclate colored accel pluses would be cool
fezzie: actually they are making a Tom Penny 2 low at least thats what they show and say in the section of
"koston 7 is so banging" there is this guy "ÉS_China" that gave a link to all the éS shoes and there is a black/gum low penny 2 and also a brown gum i think but doesn´t have the lycra heel cup.
This was just in case you didn´t know.
and what wuth the radle?rover? contracts?
taking off the contracts means no more éS contract T-shirt contest?
fezzie: some picturéS here http://photo.163.com/openalbum.php?username=lzly8882001&_dir=%2F8063336&page=2
yeah dog whats up wit no contracts? or radles? or rovers? or ek-o1? oh yeah and is the standard fat like the rodrgigo or skinnier like the accel or are they in the middle cuz i have a really skinny foot and if the standards are fat i will die because they are god

http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=92245&item=6774620623&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW
y the fuk did u bring out this new range of shoes especialy the murry do you seriously expect any skateboarder to buy them?? Now the only decent soes out are the accel, accel plus, and the accelerate. SORT IT OUT
the muarry is relly ugly
the standard is ok
and the black with gum EK-07 r cool
and the maccels are ok
i think all the new seasons shoes look pretty good and the new colorways on the classics are rad. kinda sucks the ek-01s got taken off those were deff. classics. I like the way es is moving towards different kinds of shoes, almost a nike look,
Josh p and craig -keep up the good work and dont listen to the haters
i agree with adam foreal... hes foreal...lol
whats better the K7 or the accelerates cuz i cant decide what i want
I like the Accelerates in green and black the accels look good too. You know how you had Pjs' colorway you should have that for all the team members
As long as they keep making solid color Accel/Plus/erates (gotta keep it simple), Ill be fine. I dont really like any of the new shoes, except for the green Accelerates and the grayblue Pluses.
Damn Rick McCrank is dropping hammers in the Cramer ad., backside tailside shove-it,made me wet. Oh by the way,I love the name of the shoe. Kodos to the person to that name the shoe. Sigh,I love Seinfeld...
http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40665&item=8309351750&rd=1
I really like the tan/green accel +
I think its sad that the maccels even incorporate the name accel within them they look like something somebody with flatfoot would wear same with the rideoffs/rideaways whatever they are called.
Personally I think that K4s were a really good shoe. They weren't too beefy like other shoes, they had the right width and tongue. The foam at the heel was really comfy they felt like you were skating with hardly any weight on your feet yet they protected all those little bones. And the rubber moulding at the front of the shoe was super tough same with the little strip of wierd stuff at the side of the shoe I don't know what the hell that was but it was crazy.BRING THOSE SHOES BACK- you shouldn't just take it as my opinion what do all you peeps think?
http://cgi.ebay.fr/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40665&item=8309351750&rd=1
PJim-Hey, if you had such a good experance with the k4 you get my vote to bring them back.Oh,Josh P. can you please relay this to 'es... uh, I never got to try the EK-01 I really wanted to try them out. Maybe my local shop still has them. I guess I better hurry!!!!!
Murray: I dont like it at all, but maybe its good for hanging out...
Standard: its good that és has this kind of shoe. I guess its cheaper and the colorways arent bad...
Rideaway: Pure shit. I dunno if it skates well but i dont think so... and the colors are awful
Maccel: Another accel-type o shoe. Are they running out of ideas? Colorways could be better
k7: Not bad, it will probably skate super. Colorways should be better
and one more thing: where is the ek-01. its a classic, bring it back!

G2 IS THE WORST BRUISE PREVENTION TECHNOLOGY THERE IS I GET WORSE BRUISES THAN WITH SHOES WITHOUT IT, I AM DEAD SERIOUS IT SUCKS, ACCEK=LERATE IS THE WORST SHOE IN THE WORLD INVENT SOMETHING BETTR TO HELP R FEET BECAUSE YOU CANT FEEL THE G2 IT JUST DOESNT WORK! BELIE VE ME PLEASE! MAKE SOMETHING BETTER!
Strangely enough, I was about to post something similar to Ryan, only more coherent. For some reason I'm getting heel bruises with the Accel Plus, but only in my left heel. The left heel G2 always felt kind of soft compared to the one in the right shoe, so I'm not sure if it's a manufacturing fault or what, plus I've had the shoes for over a month so I can't exchange them for another pair or anything.
Another thing is with the insoles of the shoes. My insole is literally falling apart in 2 places under the pressure of my left heel and ball of my left foot. This has never happened with any other insole, so I dunno what the hell is going on. The insole literally wore away to the point where I had to actually sew some foam in there myself.
I'm beginning to suspect that this is some sort of manufacturing fault as the insole in the right shoe is still perfectly intact, it's only the left one that is falling apart.
I would appreciate it a lot if I could get in contact with you guys and you could send me out a new insole or something, cause if I keep using this one it'll wear away beyond repair.
Thanks in advance,
Jack
OR MAYBE ITS A SCAM!!
ryan i can understand if you said the g2 in the accel plus isnt very good cuz it doesnt do much and its only the the heel, but the accelerate does have like the best cushioning in the shoe world.you can even feel it before you put your feet in. unless you got some crappy mail order or shop insole. i had that on the accel plus and it lasted for a week so i had to use some crappy osiris insole.
hey to anyone who has the k7 or craig or josh, is the k7 skinnier, fatter, or the same width as the accel? cuz i have a skinny foot.
Has anyone tried out the REYNOLDS 2, they suck for skating and for hanging out and your foot swims around a lot and its kind of wierd because i got very wide feet.
IS THE KOSTON 7 LIKE THAT?
alex, i might just be stupid, but what you just said made no sense at all to me
okay well I've heard yes and I've heard no, but does the K6 have G2 or what? (according to your page, it doesn't)
K6 has G2. I'll try to get to the other questions later.
i think the black/gum k-7 r awsome
the new accelerate colorways are cool
the maccels are like a mix of the accels and cramers-i don't like it-but they are cool seperate
the maurrays are just plain ugly
the rideaways are just plain ugly
the standards are ok-but are they relly flat like that???
the accel and accel plus r still cool as ever-especialy with there new colorways
and i heard some rumor that the penny2s will be made into a not so boot-like shoe.-is this true?-if so that would be awesome.
wow new colorways and shoes are terrible
whoever made them must have been on krack
what the hell is up with the murray those have to be the gayest shoes ever apart from the purple bams.....
where's the radle?? and what the hell is a "maccel"
the rideaways are cool....if i was goin hiking
for all you koston 3 lovers i know a shop that i can get the k3's but only in yellow they are size 10 im me if you want them my sn is ydocrenots and screw the new shoes bring the k3 back and the eos but mainly the k3 for the people like me that didn't skate when they cme out im me if you want the shoes
maccel could use some more colorways but is a dope shoe that im going to get soon... there is still no posting of the k6.5... murrays look like running shoes but have a sick tounge... standard is dope except the toe has no protection and i hate that look of just a bland toe... rideaways need better colorways but they're still sick... you guys should create a part of the site where you can go through the history of és and see all of the shoes that you guys have made over the years, as well as all the old team riders and storys and shit like that... és for life bitches...
oh yeah... craig or josh or whoever... why does the PJ pro model keep being pushed back to different dates... last year és stated it would be out sometime this year, now it appears we have to wait till 2006... whats the deal with that, also, is rodrigo making a TX2... and is Nuske going to design a pro model soon... he definetly deserves it. keep pimpin
sorry about my last comment i was real tired, i didnt know what to wright, so i was kind of stupid at that moment
i got my K6 last year, they are Black/gum with no STI foam do they have G2 ?
and i remember reading one timeat the news section that E.Koston was so tired of heel bruisés that he decided to put G2 to his K5 and K6 is this true also ?
i took the insole out of my koston 6 and they seem to feel softer on the heel part than the midsole, i guess they have G2 in the heel part only is this right ?
the black and white acell's look so sick keep up the good job
Hi!, I have a descent question.which month will the fall gear come to the shops? great new colours on accel/accel+ between =)
tell pj to finish his shoe and give me a gazillion free pairs , 5050store.com dudes brizzle rprznt
Those black and green accels.. Didn't they have those already? or maybe they were slightly different, but I swear I saw a pair of accels with almost the same colors.
Hmm...Lots of people ripping on the new models. At first glance, I didn't really like the new shoes, but by just looking at the pictures they're starting to grow on me, haha. Change isn't always bad, people :)
Here's my thoughts on the new models/colorways:
Accelerate: Great new colorways.
Accel: Grey/lime/white and the P.J. colorway are probably the only two colors I like (and black, of course). I prefer them in leather :(
Accel Plus: All of the different blacks are nice (camo is just weird though), and blue/grey/white is TIGHT!
Murray: Definately not skate shoes, but I definately plan on getting a pair for walking/work. Nice job on designing these...
Standard: Meh, can't see myself wearing them, but OK looking I guess.
Rideaway: Look a tad bulky, but can't say for sure by just seeing the pictures. Love the look of the black/white/red ones though.
Cramer: Didn't look great at first, but the black/white/red colorway looks great. Just kinda looks like the type of shoe that might last a bit longer...
Bah, rest of my post didn't work. Too lazy to do it again :(
well... I dont know what they were thinking when they decided to put something like the murray on a skate shoe line, that shit belongs on reebok or sumthin... it looks like you could kill some one in that shoe, why do you need a second pair of shoes just to chill in? i bought the cradles I love the lycra foot thing.. cuz i dont even need shoelaces:) and the toe is completely blown out... like you can see my sock through the shoe, but u dont here me sayin im guna by a pair of shoes just to hang out in. And the rideaway... well are those skate shoes or hiking shoes?? But everything else is pretty much sick, like the accels and accelerates and pluses, the cramer is nice, the maccels are a little too tech, i like the yellow and black ridrigos. The penny 2s are nice, i dont mind the standards but i probably woudnt by them. but except for the murray and rideaway, youve got dam fine line-up goin on here.
i like the new accel and accelerate colorways alot. the one thing that bothers me is what happens when people that are new to the game or dont know too much about shoes go to buy some shoes to skate and just get your "chill" shoes. they dont know any better and they just want to skate and they get scammed into buying a pair of new balance hybrid hiking boots.
the murray could be skateable if there was some rubber on the sole where the toe cap is.
also, i bet koston will be the next background guy for the blogs, with his new show coming out
I love you're shoes thank you 'es much love,mahalo!!!ALOHA!!!!!!!!
marc ive had the accelerates for about two months and it kills wen i come off of high drops and long gaps it almost makes me not want to do them.IT SUCKS!!
nice shoes for 2005 eS. the white/gum K7's are hott.
i heard you guys are making a penny 2 low cut, is this true? i like the mid cut alot. i got the brown ones and the white and elephants they are awesome looking and even better for skateing.
dam, I've been away for a bit and I missed all these comments and questions. PJ's shoe hit's stores next year. As for the foot bed problems go back to the store you bought them and see if they can give you new footbeds. They'll contact us and we'll try and take care of it for ya bro.
hell I have chill shoes. I have 2 EK-01's, Lakai and DC for skating, then some grn/ylw Rodrigo's for hanging out
erf, all the shoe features should be 100% correct now. sorry about the mistakes. craig: please dont fire me!
SO DID THE K6 HAD THE SYSTEM G2 WHEN THEY FIRST CAME OUT????
OR IS IT ONLY A NEW THING THEY JUST PUT TO IT THIS YEAR?
I Like what i'm seeing. Good job Designers
what happened to the k1
Shame to see the contracts disappear. And the K1s. Accelerate are good, but not Macell. K7s look nice.
Accels and Accel Plus are classics - keep 'em coming.
Anti-social's look good. Sure do miss McCrank 2s, though...
will they be some oportunity to bring back the EOS or the K3 i think it ccould be some good classic for koston and the EOS you could just change the sole with some Accel sole or something like that i started skating when those shoes were gone i started skating a year ago but got some Burnquist 2 and saw the catalog that it came with, and thought they still had the other shoes and went to the web page and see they didnt have them no more, so i was so dissapointed to see they didnt have them.
please bring back the EOS and K3.
Wow a lot of people are really hating on your shoes. I dont get this at all, every company has good shoes and has bad shoes. I think probably everyshoe excluding that backwards tread thing is decent. A lot better than all the DC shoes. I personally like the accel family and the penny 2. I had the rodrigos but they were a little to clunk. Keep making rad shoes.
I love all the new accel, accel plus, accelerate colors. the k7 are sick as well. there is one suggestion on the accelerates brown/gum. i think the shoe should be all brown with just a dark e'S logo instead of the whole middle. Just a suggestion. I would also like to know around what time the e'S video ye'S premier will be, in other words when will it be released? PJ Ladd is the BEST!!!
does tom penny make a shitload of money considering hes the designer of the Accels
Craig - is an Accelerate Plus in the works? (accelerate + strap)
Also, do you think you could sneak a picture of the Rodrigo 2s for us?
Ryan - where did you hear that?
Anyone know the release date of the WHITE/BROWN K7's???
I think there the dopest Kostons next to the K3's. Black and elephant skin oOoOo weeeeee! thats the Jordan 3 all over again (in skate form).
-PEACE!
Do the k7 and the standard have the same tongue? I was looking at them, and it looks very similar.
i miss the creagers...hehe...
I was wondering if they is any way to udapte your es shoes and some graphic on it, like some special edition, with some artist ? What do you think about those ?
I'm doing some graphic design stuff and i want a update some of my graphic on you ES shoes because it's the best shoes ever
THANKS NIKO
Guys, etnies is sold in the mall what if es goes to the mall that would be freaking bull and I can say that my shop would NEVER support es if they go to PacSun!!!! so let's hope it stays in the real skate scene
Release date on the BROWN/WHITE K7's?
Bobby - This month or next.
K7 or Jordan III ?
Bring back the Radle instead of the cradle !
YOU ARE THE BEST, I'M AMATEUR SKATER, AND I WANNA BE GOOD AS YOU.
i might get some accels i think does are good or some k7 maybe some penny 2 and bring back the K3 and EOS
Righteous! Good Lookin Out Josh! and yes Jordan III, also a dope shoe. I skated mine and it was lovely!
K3 = Jordan XII. I think Koston loves his Jordans.
-PEACE!
Does the K6 have system g2 or did someone screw up with the K6 features and K7s features because they are the same?
Also does the accels come with a silithane heel crash pad anymore or did they screw up with the features of the standard and accels?
crap, sorry two posts.
fixed.
I wanna know-when are the pink K7s out???
october for pink with black cover outsole
EK01!!!!!!!!!
when are the k-6.5's commin out!!! you guys need another mid-top
first of all tom ace shut up ur the guy that argues with craig on when shoes come out
u were wrong last time. most of the new shoes are weird looking except the standard which looks a lot like the K6 the worst shoe you have ever made is definitely the rideawaybut the murrays are kindof cool i wouldnt skate em though
And you should definitely show us the new tx i bet its mad hott
if u dont like g2 idont know y u wouldnt but if ur stupid and dont get some dr scholls and then u can be all like "im gellin like a felon, want some melon?"
Yeah, don't listen to Tom.
Hey. Why is the A.Social not in that line yet? Aint' ready yet?
You should get some pastel colorways for the accel line. That would be sick.
The Contracts were soooo cool why would es be stupid enough to get rid of them and brung in the reebok classic ripoff murray. WHY!!!! The standard looks like the etnies callicut without the "E" with some extra lines and a goofy shaped tongue.Once again why would you sacrifice a great shoe like the Ek-01 for this crap?The Maccel has the same sole as the cramer (which is a cool shoe) and looks super bulky. The Rideaway I think looks pretty good it could use some better colors though the only thing about it I really don't like is the sole bottom from the side makes it lk like a reebok classic. I'm just glad that they kept the k6, rodrigo tx, cramer, penny 2, accel, and accelerate. They really need to bring back the k5, EK-01, Penny's 1st shoe, the accelerate in black, grey and white (that was the best looking accelerate I think)and most of all the contract whish I wil allways like they need to also get working on the penny 2 lo top for all the people like me who don't like mid tops. Now that eS got rid of all the shoes and colors I liked I'll have to wait til they make some deccent shoes and colorways until then I'll be rockin' Vans my first love. i just hope eS doesn't keep making duds like the K7,Maccel,standard,accelerate plus, and most of all the murray.
Accelerate plus? next time make sure the shoes you are dissing actually EXIST.
I read some other post and I agree I hoepe eS doesn't become like etnies where everyone has them and they end up in the Buckle, Pac Sun and Journeys that would be soooo horrible then eS would lose like all respect like etnies when half the people wearing um had never even ollied or set foot on a skateboard. eS please stay skateboard don't go New Ballence/Reebok running shoe on us terminate all the new shoes (except the K7's and rideaways) and bring back the 04 and spring 05 collection it'll make evry one happy.
The Anti Social comes out in Oct/Nov. That's why its not up yet.
i said it once and i'll say it again, the K7's are super dope!
-PEACE!
HEY JOSH P. IS IT TRUE THAT THE CICERO2 ARE GOING TO BE IN THE OCT./NOV.LINE BECAUSE I SAW THEM ON EBAY IN BROWN AND TAN PLEASE BRING THE EOS BACK THANK YOU
No Cicero 2's. There were these:
http://www.esfootwear.com/news/2005/3/
Kinda close I guess.
well, i did see the cicero on ebay for the euro oct./nov.line and as soon as i get a picture as soon as i can and why don`t ya`ll bring the EOS back for the october/november line that would be pretty cool.
You were pretty much on mark with the rodrigo tx's. Those things are perfect. That sock liner should be incorperated into other shoes also.
accels + sock liner = big seller
I think the active exclusive accels are the best ones out right now. The black/white/green accels are awsome.
yeah im with danny supa the murray and rideaway have to be the ugliest shoes ive ever seen released by u guys and i love all the shoes that uall make, and yall are my favorite company but dude seriously, they're gross
Those new colors for the k6 are tight...but wut happend to the black and orange ones with the green sole??Those weere tight...ya'll need to put those back on the site...the accelerates in black/green and black/red/tan are tight nigga!...so is the standard(all colors)...dude wuts up with the murray?!...they gay!...but still...oh well...es is still my fav
Tom Penny is leaving es for KR3W shoes and Tosh is leaving Emerica for Element shoes and Erik has already left Emerica for KR3W and remember about es going out well they have come up with a solution for that and it'll happen next year, just ask PacSun
element and krew shoes are u insane? that would be so gay
Wow i think someone here has some problems.
i never heard before of K.R.E.W shoes much less element where did you hear this ??(J)
http://www.skateboarding.com/skate/news/article/0,23271,1066568,00.html and kr3w shoes has been mentioned as well
www.skateboardrumors.com i know its called skateboard ''rumors'' but guys i swear these guys have been right before
and Alex i think u have some problems urself
BrANDoN - Every six months we release new colorways. That colorway is over a year old now.
UUGGGHHHHH! i got my K7's today (black/red). they are the dopest. there's a couple of minor differences from the pics on the ES site and the actual shoe, but it's kool. oh yeah, why is Koston wearing the K6's in the picture on the box my K7's came with??? weird...anyway, can't wait for the BROWN/WHITE K7's, July right?
-PEACE!
fuck yea, i think the maccels look amazing. very comfy looking. the rideaways and murrays are disgusting.
as for the...
standard: ugly and unoriginal
cramer: not bad.
cradel: never worn these but they remind me of cross trainers or runners.
rods: comfy, but those are some ugly ass colors. the previous one were awesome.
penny 2: impractical for boarding but they look nice.
k6 and k7: boring and boring.
as for the ek-01, i have them and they are quite the comfy shoes.
J : your right, my bad, sorry just that never heard about that stuff.
Ha.
i want some accels!!!
hey i was wonderin how true to the photo the blue/ grey/ white accel plusses were. like for a while the brown/ gum colorways were darker than pictured. i was just wondering if the blue was the same or if it was more of a royal blue
wait does this mean craig is gonna post a picture of the pj ladd shoes
6.5's?????????? when!!!!!
hey people at éS, my birthdays in like 2 weeks, you give presents to your friends for their b-days right? send me some new shoes and ill forever thank you
3 of the newest shit from eS :
standard
murray
rideaway.
what the fuck is happening to emerica, etnies, and eS ?
Josh P- I herd that in ccs it said " Designed by Tom Penny the accel is the best shoe to come out this year with etc." that's exactly what it said, now is that true? y don't u ask him?
its true element is starting a shoe co. and ther probably gonna do good becuz all the posers r gonna buy ther shit. element suks at making bords how do they think that they can make a shoe co. thats so gay
but the krew shoes... unh unh no krew shoes thats a lie plus even if ther were ellington wouldnt leave, he just came out with a new pro model by emerica
put the PJ shoes up!!!
and as my last blog the K7s= G-unit shoes which=GAY also Emerica shoes r totally beter than es and the accelerates r the worst shoes in the business
http://photo.163.com/openpic.php?user=lzly8882001&pid=232528070&_dir=%2F8063336, what shoes r these?
cuz ther sickkkkkk!
alot
im such a loser
i love eS it is way better than emerica im sorry for what i said before im such an idiot
i dont know shit about skating
i dont know shit about skating
ryan shut up
I wish I had system G2 in my ass so it doesn't hurt when I fall.
the K7's are super dope and are nothing near a G-Unit shoe. If anything, it's close to a Jordan (Jordan III to be exact) which are also dope shoes. I got my red/black K7's already. Getting my White/Brown K7's tomorrow. Please don't compare these to a G-Unit shoe. Don't compare any shoe to a G-Unit shoe, becuase G-Unit shoes are in there own class of ugly/lame/"gay" etc. Thank You.
-PEACE!
um actually its like the exact same design
http://i.pricerunner.com/img/u2/0/2/0/i20029060s.jpg.100x100 now tell me thats not just like the k7
uhm...no?
i cant decide between the black synth. and gum accel plusses or the black gum k7. theyre both awesome so its reeaaally hard....damn i wish i could get both. o well...any opinions/advice???
fuck it im gettin k7's
Honestly, the new colors and stlyes are a little out there. What you guys need to do is bring back the Ronnie Creager model shoe. The gray and reds. And by the way bring back the K3 and forget the color pink.
where can i get the accels with the white bottoms?
i cant find them anywhere...
where can i get the accels with the white bottoms?
