Anybody else think eS etnies etc. have a fighting chance in the market if they reissue 90's and earl 00's shoes?

I could imagine those kostons on some dude with sweat pants and leather 5 panel and Herschel backpack or some shit.

Yea for sure, not strickly re-issues but like the Accels, K3's, Penny 2's, SLB, that'd be awesome.









fuck it, let's throw these in as well...

Luckily the only eS' carrier in my town held a tan pair for me. They said they started with 40 pairs today and only have about 10 left. They also said the next run won't have accels.

NNNNOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

There will be non limited release but don't know when. I also suspect that we will see red and white colorways (that were part of Japanese release).

Is that retail? All shops that have them online are sold out.

I didn't get a chance to see how much they were.

They were $65. They're going for around $100 up to $250 on ebay depending on size and condition. Unless they quit with this limited run shit I'm not fucking with them anymore.

Their release model is fucking stupid. I don't give a shit about "aloha coffee camo drops". I want a fucking unlimited inventory of brown Accels. It's not like they didn't expect demand for one of the most revered shoes ever.

Pissed I missed this. Figures I unfollowed eS Instagram a month ago.

it might be possible that in their "rehabilitation phase" they aren't financially capable of pumping out a shit-ton of pairs of every model and are somewhat forced into pulling this whole limited release schtick. with that said, the limited release schtick is pretty lame. their lack of suede, and pretty-boy colorways, don't much appeal to me either.

Yes it's true.


Insole is glued with some weak glue so it is easy to take it out.
It is glued so that it doesn't start moving in the shoe with time.

These "OG" Accels feel great (fit true to the size), very comfortable, much better than those last runs from 2011 an 2012.

EDIT:
I forgot to mention main thing. Tongue is bit shorter and less thick than in previous Accel models.
