Looks like an overly ambitious intern to me

Hey guys check out some accel slims before we fire everyone with no notice again! #POUNDITBRO
-
I stocked up on some Sals a few months back when I found them on sale for $25 each and I'm digging them.

Nice.
Definitely not the way to handle this article. I'd say Jenkem did a service to core brands by giving some good insight into the minds of young skaters. You may be enraged by their thought process on shoes (I am), but they are your demographic like it or not so better start catering to them with flimsy cheap slip-on sweatshop garbage sold through Amazon.
I started wearing eS again when they rereleased the OG Accels. I loved that shoe and love it again now. I have several pairs stashed in the likely they stop abruptly being produced. I do realize that most skaters these days aren't into beefy padded shoes without giant logos like I am.
I seriously don't know how everybody skates in Vans Slip-Ons and Chucks.
-
Es Accel was one of the best, but that is off putting for sure.
Looks like "plz bi our shooz ... no srsly ... plz"
-
been skating only vans for the last couple years, but id go back to my younger self and skate some accels.. so long as it comes with a personal thankyou/please god buy more note from whoever is running their instagram
-
the accel slims and swift 1.5 are both great
Buy some es guys!

I've tried on some Es in the last couple years and they never seemed to fit right. Usually too narrow but I've been happy with Emerica in the past. I just got a pair of G6s and they look great. It's very tough to having enough buying power to work with quality factories and have competitive prices while only selling to skaters. If you have 1 shoe in 1 color and you need to stock 12 sizes with a 200 shoe minimum per size you see where you can eat up a lot of cash really quick.
-
I've tried several times to contact them regarding sizing questions and they never got back to me. I'm assuming their customer service is non-existent. It makes me wonder what other aspects of the company are neglected.

Try IG. They seem pretty active 8)

I can picture Kelly Hart enthusiastically tapping out those comments with sincerity.

I think yall reaching. To me it feels like a grass roots tongue in cheek way of marketing your brand.
-
If the remakes of either Sal have the old sizing, I'd buy those. I don't want slim lookalikes

i haven't skated a pair of eS in almost 10 years but they were my favorites back in the day. i'm stoked to see they're doing something and would definitely try a pair. i can see why the kids are into the simple aesthetic cause i dig it too. i always wanted to skate small vulc shoes like slips and shit but most often that kinda shoe just hurts my feet. the figgys are my go to for a shoe that's simple but also supportive. these kids just dont know how good emericas are
my fave eS:

-
I had a pair of 'eS with a defect, wrote their FB, and they shipped a new pair to me in about 3 days. They're okay in my book.
-
last time i bought Es was 2002. McCrank's shoe. i have to say it was a good shoe at the time.
-
These were my faves. I wonder if Kelly is a virgin?

Y'all are hating. I'm going to buy these next.

Not a single shoe on the es website jumps out at me. They all look mediocore at best in my opinion. They really need to come up with something new, when have you ever seen a company succeed that never evolves? If you don't change with the times you will fail.

yo those penny shoes were sick i totally forgot about them! i had em in black/black. thanks for that

This is actually pretty accurate.
-
Did they let some summer intern get a hold of the social media account? Jesus Christ “ check us out of you get a chance” is the number one phrase of sponse kids and lifestyle brands annoying others on Instagram
-
drunk texts from your éx

I was completel swept up in the release of the OG accels, but simply can't shake that they ditched their entire team only to reboot a short while later.
-

I'm pretty sure they are, Sal had a post a few months back about if you liked the slim tongue OGs or the puffy tongue one, so I assume they're working on that.
-
I hope Jenkem publishes something about wheel brands so we can get some prime IG comments from Wayward
-
Wrong OP, if you thoroughly read the Jenkem post eS isn't posting like a kook at all. It's all in context if you actually read it. Thanks for wasting my time double checking your work. You work for Nike?

No but Nike feel free to slide me a box for this.
A bigger waste of time would have been me posting the entire comments section.

"your first task will be to drop a few subtle Instagram comments here and there on some of the most popular accounts, just for visibility's sake; the main idea being that people should keep regularly seeing our brand's name, and never forget about its presence. here's the password"

Defenitely feels like theyre getting legit feedback from old pros like Sal and creager, which makes it more upsetting Jamie put the kibosh on his emerica shoe getting a new release. I wonder if they just don’t have a team cause they don’t want to screw people over if sales go south.!
-
eS was one of my favorite companies before their hiatus, and like a lot of others it left a really bad taste in my mouth that I haven't been able to let go of. I was really on the anti-corpo train as recently as a few months ago, but the couple brands that are still going for it just seem so out of touch when it comes to their marketing and image. It's making it much harder to be hyped on what they're coming out with .
-
skated a few pairs of sals recently and have been pleased with them. they need to rerelease the koston 3 and i’ll be back for life. they can just take his name off it call it the kostone or something.
-
Got a pair of those SLB mids, loving them. Gonna run some of those SLB 2s after I think.
-
I think yall reaching. To me it feels like a grass roots tongue in cheek way of marketing your brand.

Looks like an overly ambitious intern to me
funny because I'm pretty sure it's a balance between Don Brown (head guy in charge at 'eS) and Kelly Hart (team manager) that runs their instagram, and these all seem like Don Brown comments

our national distributor has a shop dedicated to clearance items and I bike close to it to work everyday so I can check it out on a whim. They do carry nike, but their shoes don't make it to clearance that much so I have a wide choice of core skate brands and I have not been forced to buy a nike shoe yet.
-
So Creager will put out that rail part ?
Will they make pro shoe ?

I was completel swept up in the release of the OG accels, but simply can't shake that they ditched their entire team only to reboot a short while later.
in their defense, they didn't just ditch their team and sale out to department stores. They completely shut down and restructured. They did relaunch with a crew that included Carlos Ribeiro, Rodrigo tx, and some other kids who were poached. Kelly, Wade and Asta are great, but they need some higher profile folks

What are you talking about rodrigo got on adidas way before the es relaunch. Losing Diego so quick was a definite loss though and you can tell Kelly’s still a tad salty.

ok well Don Brown needs to find something else to do with his time. does seem a little over-eager on his part, less might be more in this case.
