Got these yesterday (olive colorway). Very comfortable straight out of the box, love the reflector details, puffy but not too puffy, breathable (wore them all day today), look great - plus this colourway is animal-friendly. Grateful you made these. Kostalgia.

To make it short: I don’t get the design decision to the change the outsole. The outsole of the original shoe was such a characteristic design feature. To change that means changing the complete shoe.
I was stoked when I found out they would retro the K2s because I couldn't get them back in the day.
When I saw the first pictures of the retro I was just disappointed. I’m still not decided if I should buy a pair. It just doesn’t make sense to change the shoe in such a drastic manner and then market it as connected the OG.

Same OG feeling and feels perfect for any flip tricks

Huge fan of Es. Love the accel, all styles. Have owned multiple pairs. As a Koston fan I was stoked to see the “koston reissues” come around in the one nine 7 and the two nine 8. Have to say I was slightly disappointed with the Two Nine 8. Felt about a half size too small. Toe box is extremely stiff and tight. Feels a little bit more like a shoe to wear casually rather than a skate shoe. Still love the design and homage to the Koston 2, just wish it performed a little better.

Got these in multiple colors and I love them so much I don’t want to skate em. This is one of my favorite reissues. These fit true to size for me too.
