Could you do a video for Kastel shoes? Super old school, not well-known, but a classic.

[@irv_gotti7814]

Well Since you’ve covered the other 2 Sole Tech brands might as well do Emerica 👍 a lot of history in that brand !

I love Emerica soooo much, I've worked on a script, but just have high expectations for it!

TJ Rogers is putting ES back on the map single handedly. I also really love the fact that Penny is back on es. I wish he would again have a pro model but even a colorway would be really well received.

[@ShredzShop]

Agreed! He fits the brand so well, and is ripping hard right now!!!

[@sk8erx0877]

Wouldn’t say single handedly when you have guys like Wade desarmo and Tom asta repping the brand for years and years …Tom especially

[@thinkforyourself5672]

Well Penny has a shoe/Colorway Now. Your dreams have come true lol

[@richardcard82]

I owned the original Muska shoe in white back in the mid 90's, they were the coolest. I also owned the Koston 1's in black with red. One of my all time favorite shoes. Years ago eS released the Sal 23 shoe in limited quantities I still have a brand new pair of the white ones and browns that I've never worn. Also in black. Recently I bought the One Nine 7 which a re release of the original Koston shoe. They're gorgeous

[@ambrotype_dj]

Menikmati simply blew me away back in the day. Also interesting to see the és actually derived from Etnies. As always, great video! ❤️

That's sick! Gonna try some Accel slims, can't fully commit to the puffiness of the OG access, although I love seeing people skating them! Hyped you enjoy the vids in Finland!! 🙏 That gets me stoked!

[@tropicalpnch4549]

My favs were the Koston 1's, Accels (navy blue with red inside), and the Schemes may have been the most comfortable shoe ever. I'm glad you mentioned that Koston's models started to look like Nike's and ironically they got into the skate shoe business later with more traditional designs. I'm currently rockin' Quattros and they are nice!

[@BalanceOvOpposites]

Koston 1 in black/grey colorway.. Loved those things to death even w the huge hole in the side

[@scottdavies8675]

Grey schemes were the best

I love es so much, i still have some of their shoes and shirts from 2000-2005 in my closet, along with 4 boxes of their recent run of accels in all brown. I don’t think I could ever go back to wearing a different shoe

[@ShredzShop]

Nice! I'm gonna try a pair of accel slims! I've been curious for a while now.

[@rvaughan1523]

És were my favorite skate shoes back in the day. My favorite styles were the Diode in white, red and black and I loved those soo much I got another pair in Navy blue, baby blue and black. I also rocked a pair of bumble bee yellow Schemes and I even bought a pair of Koston 3’s to play middle school basketball in. I had those in black and red and they were soo cool! Thanks for bringing back some of my greatest childhood memories!

[@nachyomoney3598]

Had a few pairs of muskas with stash pockets as well as the brandon turner osiris shoes that had the stash spot. The stash spot never got me into trouble but it sure did get me out of trouble a few times.

I remember I had an ES shirt that black with a bunch of neon green symbols on it. I loved there moto, "Es the best part of yes"

[@ShredzShop]

try em out!!

[@SkateSkateAndFun]

The Koston 1 where released in black gum without the airbag for a really short time, a friend had them. I had almost only És 2000-2010. Must say the koston 2 is a favourite even though the durability was poor.

[@ShredzShop]

I was a hardcore és fanboy at that time as well. Could never get accels because they were always sold out. But I’d skate whatever I could get my hands on.

[@fab9727]

Koston 2 was nuts! But like you already mentioned poor durability which lead to using shoe goo all the time. My favorite shoe were the Creagers. és was that brand at that time even here in Germany.

[@benllewellyn1887]

Black and gold Tribo's were my favourite skate shoes ever.

Nice video, cheers. First pair i had were the white Koston 1 and my next were Burnquist also in white. Later on i got Creager in grey and a pair of blue K2. after that i was mainly buying the Accel (my faves).

[@D34ThL1VeS]

The eS Accel Slim Mid will forever be my favorite shoe I've ever skated in. Slap some really good insoles in there and that shoe is good to go for a whole year of epic skating.
