Supra was the worst thing to happen to Ellington’s creativity his first 3 emericas all look great everything else he’s done horrible emerica should put out his 3rd and call it the dropout

Wish I could’ve skated this shoes but I’m a tad too young :(

Kalis lying out his ass he had NO input in Sung Choi’s design 😂

How bout some new episodes?

Those First Ellingtons were so Nice

Best shoes man...that black and white color way too..whoooooyaaa. Would love to be able to get all those on the reg again

The dopest shoes Emerica ever made. Reynolds 1 a close second.

DOPE AS...

I like The kalis over muska - Muska's career is too short, Kalis is still killing it.

99 bucks in CCS I had the Green ones In 2005

Love n ever Green respect...u more than great

Now look at Ellington at lining breaking into china can’t wait to skate them

Now Ellington is breaking boundaries by signing with a brand like lining and getting the first china pro show can’t wait to skate em

I've been trying to find this shoe for so long... It was my favorite. I had the black toe with the white mid.

It's getting fucked watching the people who influenced my passions growing up become the thing counter to skateboarding. Ellington is hollywood and lame as fuck now .

Supra went from being the best shoe with the double es to literally the gayest thing out there. Fuckin high tops and whatever else gay there is supra did

The original ones are the best shoes I’ve ever skated

Honestly what's strange is I didn't like the Ellington, BUT I LOVED the brown color way. The light and dark brown looked awesome. My friend had a pair and despite not being fond of the other colors I loved the brown pattern

I had exact those 2's and tore them up and regret it everyday. Can't find them anywhere anymore

Best shoe's ever so comfortable..best for chillaxin

Love this dude Josh Kalis style is lite 💥💣🔥👌🏾🤙🏾

No RippedLaces with the Ellingtons!

Top 3 skate shoes of all time in no particular order: 1. Emerica Ellington (preferably red/grey OR dark brown/light brown colorways) LEGENDARY SHOE FROM ELLINGTON! 2. IPath Cats (preferably black or the brown/orange colorway) 3. Es Accels Honorable mention: Osiris D3 (strictly for durability, not looks)

Wanna hear something funny Kalis.. My first skate shoe was your pro model.. guess what shoe a ran to for years after.. your pro model lol.. Then I got on my Stevie kick and had a lil more in common with his style so I went with his pro model after that for awhile but both were straight heat then and now!!!

the OG black and grey suede emerica EE 1s were my favorite skate shoes of all time..

dope as fvck

The quality of DC shoe's nowadays sucks though.

@ 0:14 Love that 9th wonder boom bap instrumental it made this video absolutely monumental and the shoes are 🔥🔥🔥

Where the heck can I find these?

Got my Lites on the way. Looking forward to skating them! They got me hype to rip!

muska for deathwish!

Dc needs to bring the kalis truth back

Funny to hear him surprised at people skating the Lite’s back then, it’s probably the model he skates the most now!

Idk kalis i would want a 69 camaro to drive like a camaro or even better but the ogs still lookin better lol

I remember airwalk

i love the kalis 7th ...

My ellington 2’s lasted a year of hard skating! Of course some shoe goo was involved but shoes were so much better made back then

Now i know what it is

A true legend ... style on and off the board. Got me into Slayer as a kid

the difference between having your own shoe in 2000 vs 2020 is astronomical. Not every rapper, pop star, and athlete had their own shoe back then. It was like Jordan an asss it.

I have a pair of Ellington 1 right in front of me

Will the 99 duros work on rough asphalt (pebbles,cracks)? Thnx everyone

For me I like the look of the shoes and the style but as a skate shoe DC just aren’t my style, I find them too big, the new vans ultra range are so comfy and light weight and easy to skate in

Old Emerica shoes looked so much better than their current design language.. Padded up in all the right places with catchy colorways... I feel like es has taken up the mantle of what Emerica once was.

I think the Rick Howard 2s are the best looking pair of DC shoes ever made.

Really dope shoes I got the black pair and the blue butter goods pair

sickest dude out

SLB 23 hands down one of the best shoes to skate in but Kalis had some of the best looking skate shoes

Those 3s would've been sick

Fuck i loved those 1st Ellington's. Id love to get my feet in a pair of those. Out of any shoe its those
