éS Two Nine 8 – A Skateboarding Legend, Reborn

Originally dropping in 1998, the éS Two Nine 8 was an iconic favorite that left a lasting mark on skate culture. Now, it’s back and better than ever – refreshed with modern updates while staying true to the original’s design that made it a skateboarding staple. Get ready to step into a piece of history with a shoe that combines retro style, innovative tech, and legendary durability.

Key Features:
• Classic Chunky Cupsole Design – The Two Nine 8 stays true to its chunky cupsole silhouette, delivering a durable, responsive feel underfoot. It’s built to withstand hardcore skate sessions, just like the original.
• Reinforced Toe Cap – A triple-stitched and reinforced toe cap takes the brunt of impact from flip tricks, ensuring long-lasting durability through hours of skating.
• Rubberized Ollie Area – The rubberized ollie area extends from the toe, offering extra protection against wear, so your shoe lasts longer even during intense sessions.
• Reflective Mesh Underlays – Stylish and functional, the reflective mesh underlays not only give the Two Nine 8 its signature look but also add breathability for comfort during long sessions.
• Lycra Ankle Pillow – Hidden in the collar, the Lycra “ankle pillow” ensures a snug fit and prevents heel lift, making for a secure ride and added comfort.
• Full-Length EVA Foam Midsole – The EVA foam midsole cushions impacts from big drops and gaps, ensuring your feet stay comfortable all day long.
• 400 NBS Rubber Cupsole Outsole – The 400 NBS rubber cupsole provides the perfect blend of grip and durability, ensuring the Two Nine 8 can handle even the most technical skate tricks.
• Lace Protection System – Keep your laces intact with the hidden internal loops, or lace traditionally for that classic look. The Lycra tongue straps help keep the tongue centered and in place throughout your session.

Modern Comfort, Retro Soul:

The Two Nine 8 brings together old-school skate style with modern tech. Its sleek yet durable construction keeps it lightweight without sacrificing protection or comfort. Whether you’re hitting the streets or sessioning the park, this shoe delivers the perfect mix of performance and style.

Whether you’re reliving your 90s skate memories or experiencing this classic for the first time, the Two Nine 8 provides everything you need: superior comfort, performance, and an undeniable throwback aesthetic. Lace up and take your skating to the next level with a shoe that’s been designed to handle everything from technical flip tricks to big drops.

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.

Good shoes

These are good shoes. I haven’t used them for skateboarding yet, I will once I finish my Es Quattro.

I love these shoes

I love these shoes. I think it’s great that y’all are doing these re-issues. I’m stoked these are vegan. I’ve been liking all the vegan color ways that you guys do. I got the Muska as well, in the sand color. The only thing I really have a gripe about is the durability of the sole. I just feel like these sole wear out really fast compared to the last shoes I was wearing, which were the DC Kalynx. Even so, you guys are really the only ones doing the sick, vegan color ways, but I would say that it would be cool for the 197’s to be released in a vegan color way. Also I couldn’t find the Quattro in a vegan color way. I know they had the sand color before, but those were sold out online. That vegan suede really holds up, and I just wish there was a vegan suede color way of all the shoes, really. It’s just long-term a lot more sustainable to be using man-made materials. It would be nice for me to be able to skate a consistently available vegan model. Really though I like the chunky shoes and the Sophisto is not chunky enough. I’ll say it again, but the Quattro would be good in a vegan color way because I just feel like that’s one of the most perfect silhouettes. It reminds me a little bit of the legacy 98 slims, which are my favorite shoes from DC and I’m pretty upset that they discontinued them. Thanks for killing it for all these years. I just watched Menikmati the other day! ✌️
