Probably one of the most legit reissues ES has done so far. I like the preorder way of doing it. That way they don't sit at shops. People who want it, can get it. Es can make them legit. Then onward. Everyone is happy.
@DavidBluetile Жыл бұрын
It's definitely been hard for us. So many sole tech products just sit until they go on sale... the pre-sale vibe is hard to do until the shoes actually arrive because shipping sometimes doesn't work out as planned and we dont get everything we order. I would love to grow this part of our business though. I love the endemic skate brands and I just wanna see them thrive again
@LifetimeShred Жыл бұрын
@@DavidBluetile For sure. I have some of these on preorder at another shop. I know for me, I'm down to pay ahead, even if it is 3-6 months out. Just want them to be done well and fit somewhat true to size. If I were ES, I think I'd simplify their line a lot and do paid preorder only for anything else. They would need to ensure availability if prepaid. Have a lineup of the Accel, Accel OG and a current pro shoe or 2. Everything else made to preorder. That way inventory doesn't sit and have to go on mega sale.

The 90s were really the best era for shoes. The black ones are winning me over, especially with the yellow laces. I'm so glad ES listens to customers unlike other companies. Just got a pair of Strayes and now I see these... The 3M on the toe box ...chef's kiss! I agree with you 100 percent these shoes have got to last well with the rubber and the triple stitching. To answer your question, I'm older so it's a sense of nostalgia. You have a few years on me. Might have to go a half size up. As always, thanks for the review! All the best. Gabby from DC!

You were spot on with sizing. I'm half size up on accel, true to size on penny 2, half size up on creagers. I'll also add I'm half size up on one nine 7, half size up on quattro, half size down on emerica og-1. True to size on most if not all vans for reference. Hope this info helps.

I am definitely curious on how long the 90s revival can last. Dudes pushing their 40s and 50s buying skate nostalgia.. is there a market for this product that will follow the nostalgia market? that's the big question..... will there be a renaissance of new skaters falling in love with this style of shoe? ive yet to see it on a large scale but curious what the future holds.

@@DavidBluetile I don't know, man. Believe me, I've met a lot of young skaters who don't even know these shoes existed, and some of them just don't even care about the skateboarding scene of our time, or who the best skaters back in the day were. They only admire those who rose to fame from 2012 to present. It's just sad. Back in the day, skaters look like skaters. Nowadays, you can't even tell if these kids actually skate until you see them skate. And if we ever manage to bring back everything that defined the skateboarding scene of our time, I don't think it will last long enough.

There are other differences. I had the Navy/Grey/Red ones in the 7th or 8th grade. I have both colors now. The difference I see are the tongue is a different shape. It was slimmer and curved over your foot. The lacing isn't as wide as the OG ones and the grey part on the heel pull tab used to be 3M as well. If you watch the 9 club with Ronnie you can see the difference when he gets the OG ones to talk about how he got the shoe on éS.
