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.
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.
Hi Sasgot,

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 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! ✌️
