I mean, they never use the OG tooling on those new retros (aside from the legacy, lynx, osiris d3) its always a variation on the OG tooling which costs just as much to produce molds for. Might aswell design something new if your already spending the money. But I do want to see a company hit the sweet spot with retros, not too bulky, all the original details and materials, and a longer toe. Id like to see eS redesign the Vireo or the Tribo. And a proper retro of the creager, not that god awful swift 1.5

I have heard that the Legacy and the LYNX from DC are all new tooling. Don't know the reasons why.

Because most of the molds are pretty old and some werent kept, so you need to start from scratch and open new molds. Sometimes that might lead to not be exactly how it was before...

Had the OGs and they were great, could only get a hold of one pair. Might have to get the black/white/gum pair.

Not that this makes it a stacked team, but I noticed that Chris Cole was wearing white accel slims on his insta stories yesterday.  Probably just skating whatever he wants til he lands somewhere, but if it is indicative of a new sponsor it's an interesting move.

It's been like almost two years since the DC thing right? I was thinking "til he lands somewhere" for awhile too but it's been a looooong time

i have a pair of Lynx from 15 years ago and I have the reissue Lynx OG. I am not an engineer. They appear to be identical.

Of course they do, there's a lot of 3d scanners that can help to create new molds based on old shoes, but even that is not creating an 100% exact replica, is just a shortcut to help the process and get a base to work over.

I found this picture the other day, as you can see groove in the side is shallower in the reissues. Also it looks to me that the topline on the OG's tappers more to an thinner/pointier toe.
As you said, they look identical, but not exactly 100% the same, so I'm pretty sure they opened new molds.

Still no white/gum Reynolds sigh. I think eS omitted the word poop when naming that shoe the silo.. although, I  do applaud bold designs and hope they become more present in the near future. I think a lot of that wardrobe is interesting as well, definitely would have been all over that sh*t in highschool. I like that eS is slowly returning to the more athletic vibe they had in the early 00's. I've always felt they should have embraced that fully and left the tonal, vulc stuff for emerica and etnies.. but obviously I get it, trends = money etc. etc.

As much as those eS Silos look like some bootleg Jordan’s, I actually kind of like them. Those brown Accel plus don’t look bad either. Kudos to eS for at least trying to come through with some varied cupsole options. maybe it’s just me but as a consumer I’m actually pretty bored with the current shoe market. A lot of these companies offerings are overall pretty bland with a few exceptions. It would be nice to see skate shoes develop more of their own aesthetic again because now it seems like it’s all about making everyday retro or lifestyle models skateable, as opposed to making skate-specific models from scratch

He seems like a super nice and well read dude who also rips and has a good eye for spots and trick selection. I wonder why he can’t get legit sponsors? I feel like he’s too smart to have on teams full of high school drop outs making him unrelatable.

Those Dickson slip ons look great. Definitely getting some shoes from that catalog.
