éS Scheme Review

[@Riz2336]

Those are cool. Instead of white I’d go with black laces

@@Riz2336 the stock laces are navy, I stick with those.

The black grey colour looks amazing, they look very similar to the 298 they released but more puffy

@@Jblizzybaby I skated both the navy/white 298 and the navy scheme today. Vastly different shoes with different feel

Streamlining this model to the soles you see now means a fast, money-saving, simple design for the highest volume re-issue this model has seen so far (despite investing in new tooling from the last decade). Filling in the sole gaps that are just EVA foam and changing all the dimensions means longer life at the cost of a more rigid shoe and a noticeably inaccurate appearance. Using Nubuck, or in this case, PVC-coated Nubuck increases skating durability and saves the company from using expensive materials such as leather. But this ain't nothin' new with cheaply reissued highly profitable nostalgia these days. Skate them, beat them, they'll be fine. And yes, go half size up if skating. Casual wear, whole size up.
