Takes me back!

I started skating as a teenager in the 90s and went through every fashion trend of the time but I loved the ultra baggy jeans and super plush skate shoes. I never had Accels though always liked the look of them. I've been skating in SB Dunks, Adidas, and other random modern styled shoes. After going back to super baggy pants my slimmer skate shoes looked stupid tbh. I wanted to get the old look back so looked up the Accels and found all the colorways. Started with this grey two-tone and it's so nice. The red and yellow and white RCA rings on the laces is a nice touch. Had to get used to wearing a relatively flat shoe again but very happy with them. They skate well and have worked for everyday wear. Ended up also ordering the animal colorway. Will likely be getting more of these as they wear out. Thanks for keeping them alive, eS!

Grippy and light

The rubber is very grippy for skating, these come small though. I recommend ordering a half size up. They don't fit like the rest of the 'es shoes at all. Definitely go up half a size on these.

Not clean when arrived

When I got my shoes I saw there were some stains on them. Especially the laices are dirty. I was able to get the shoes clean but the laices are still dirty.

es accel is BACK!

The reworked accel (that is intended to be more true to the original accel from ‘95) is fantastic. — THANK YOU KELLY HART!!! Great quality, comfortable, exactly what you’d expect. Excited to skate these for a long time to come. Looking forward to more colors. I would say that they fit true to size but slightly smaller. I always get an 11 since I have a wide foot and these feel like a comfy fit but not as long as other shoes, so you may need a half size up. But they’re awesome and I am so happy this shoe is, “back”. Looking forward to more colorways!

Accel 1995 Must have

I’ve been skating since the 90’s so I had all of these reissue skate shoes when they originally came out. The Accel 1995 is by far my favorite reissue so far, I have the black, Green/black and I just got the pink ones for my daughter. These shoes are great and I think you need these in your life especially if you lived and skated in the 90’s or early 2000’s

Ridiculously Good

Best shoes I’ve ever had period. And to skate in? Epic. I have Haglunds deformity and these support my really weird needs, which is tons of support, fitted shoes with arch support which most skate shoes don’t have. 10/10 shoes

ESSHOES IS VERY NICE

I've tried several different types of skateboarding shoes, but ES skateboarding shoes are the best. They're especially comfortable. They're also beautifully designed, and come in a variety of colors, so you can choose the one that best suits your taste. However, Korean importers often don't carry a lot of them, making them difficult to purchase domestically. That's why I buy them directly from the ESkateboarding website.

Modelos Históricos es

Ustedes son una marca icónica del skate, escribo desde chile y me declaro un fanático de muchos de sus modelos de hecho me he dedicado a comprar y buscar modelos históricos como las mas que mencionadas K3, he tratado por todos los medios volver a restaurar este modelo para volver a utilizarlos lo cual a sido imposible, incluso buscando la alternativa de imprimir el entre suela en 3D para reemplazar lo que por el tiempo ya entro en proceso de hidrolisis, como no existe una manera de la que la marca ayude a aquellos que atesoramos algunos modelos icónicos, como tal vez vender solamente las suelas para poder reemplazar las antiguas y volver a recuperar los modelos históricos de la marca. Tal vez solo a pedido con un pago anticipado y con despachos a distintos países.

Slightly disappointed

I mainly purchase ES skate shoes to collect them, I try to keep them in perfect condition. Upon receiving this product I noticed some sort of stain or blemish on the toe of the shoe. Wasn't to happy about that, But figured not to make a big deal out of it. Not sure if they were used or dropped, besides that I feel like its a wonderful shoe. Ashame my OCD picks up little faults like this.

Nice shoe. But…

Lacing up with the protected eyelets two pulled right out. Trimmed and glued them back in place. Another came loose from walking.
First time riding the cup sole adhesive began to fail. Other than that very comfy and precise.

Perfect shape

Honestly this is the shape I wish the OG would become. longer toe box, as well as the toe box is more low profile same puffy but overall fit is much better than the OG I replaced the laces with some 9mm oval laces.

One of the best shoes ever

They’re super comfortable and breathable, and look great with anything. Whether it be baggy shorts, baggy pants, or skinny jeans, or sweats, they look great. The light suede does stain easily but it comes out just as easy with a toothbrush. Overall, they’re great for anything, whether its getting tech on the ledges at the EMB, or going out for groceries, they’re very soft and light on foot.

Absolutely lovely shoe! A new favorite!

My first pair of these ”reissues”, but definitely not my last. Awesome look, light as feathers and great board feel. I was set on having to buy loads of laces, but after around 4 sessions I’m still on my first set, so the geometry of the shoe and length of the toe box seems to be very well thought out.
My next pair will be a suede pair, just because I suspect that it holds up to extensive flicking a little better. Super happy!

Hi Alexander!

Thank you so much for leaving this wonderful review for our Quattro shoe. We are thrilled to hear that it has become your new favorite! We put a lot of thought into the design and materials of our 'reissues' and we are happy to hear that it has exceeded your expectations in terms of look, weight, and board feel.

And don't worry about buying loads of laces, our team has definitely taken the time to perfect the geometry and length of the toe box to provide the best fit for our customers. We're glad you've noticed the difference!

We appreciate your feedback and we hope you continue to enjoy your Quattro shoes. We also have a suede option available for those who need a little extra durability for flicking. Thank you for choosing our product and supporting our brand.
