eS Reissue Possibilities

[cricketclub]

I was going to make this post as a reply in the UPCOMING SHOE thread where we were going back and fourth about eS's choices for reissues but I don't want to further derail it from the intended purpose of that thread.

I went to http://skateboardingstartswithes.com/1995/ to look at all of the eS models '95-'11. I looked at the non pro-model shoes that weren't completely heinous that would function for skating.

I will say I was shocked how many horrible designs there were and just how many redundant redesigns with new names there were.

Here is a compilation of shoes they could re-issue in my humble opinion - obviously some are much better than others. (They obviously should also stick with the Accel, SAL 23, and SLB - although the SLB deserves an real OG retro):

1995 - Aventi



----

1998 - Vector



----

Eos - 2001



----

Accel Plus - 2003



----

Breaker Mid - 2003



----

Rover - 2003



----

Discover - 2004



----

Accelerate - 2005



----

Script - 2006



----

Square One - 2006





If any of these actually are pro models let me know. Some of these could definitely get you hate'd on for sure but they aren't as bad as the Omega, Sparta, etc. There truly are some horrifying shoes on that site.

Script - 2006

That thing in this colorway sure is pretty.

Leaving out the stylus is a disgrace.

[cricketclub]

My apologies lol. I considered it. It was before my time of buying real skate shoes so I have no nostalgia for it.

Arto leaving out the Arto

Arto leaving out the Arto

I think they specifically left out pro models

[Allen.]

The Cassette is a TX model.

[sus]

i might be the only one on here that would want these/a modernized version of this again

[Ex Lion Tamer]

Old Arto footage always makes me want a pair of these

[kneebone]

A bunch of the OPs suggestions aren’t really “iconic” which is why they’ll never be reissued, but I’d fuck with that Aventi

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

aventi is a good one!
Arto 1s and Koston 1s and one other shoe that I can't seem to remember the name of, it was in the early tech days (think pre-muska) and was black leather with a clear sole

I think these came out 2 years too late. Skate shoes from '97-2000 had a much thinner feel to them even though they had a similar profile to skate shoes of '00-'04. This shoe was way too bulky, stiff, and heavy for what it was. The Reynolds 1, which is a similar looking shoe but designed a few years prior, is a much less bulky feeling shoe than these are..

Can we just have some sort of proof that someone has told Kelly directly that the reissues are bogus? I want to see his reaction.
Anything you can possibly think positive about eS has nothing to do with the Scheme or anything like the new Silo.

I get you don't have a lot of money to keep making sole molds, so quit spending it all on the damn Scheme mold and then coming out with 3 shoes that use it. Fix the Accel OG, fix the Accel Slim then add a strap for an Accel Plus Slim, reissue some lower cost models and boom eS is actually buyable.

Solist is the one you’re thinking of. I back that one too

Andrew Reynolds designed the Solist according to Skately?



 

[Second Division]

Was always a fan of the square two



And Bobby's shoe the First Blood





But agree with the accel plus and the accelerate for sure

[moonordie]

I would kill for a pair of EOS

[Garth Marenghi]

There's a sufficient amount of reissues out already. Scheme fulfills one's need for a synthetic marshmallow with bad durability. Accel, Accel Slim, Accel Plus, Contract and Square three are revamped versions of older models and Swift 1.5 is basically a modern, functional version of Creager.

What I'd kill for would be an ENTIRELY NEW design for a shoe. Silo was fine except it's as flimsy as a vulc and just not durable.

Nah these are sick.

Would def fux w  reissues of the Stylus and the Vector too.

In a dreamworld, I'd kill for reissues of the muska and the creager too, but mostly the Koston 2. I've been perving at pics of them online for the past few months

[The Woodsman]

Artos
Pennys
K3s

Also I second the breeze

[Krooked antihero]

Old Arto footage always makes me want a pair of these

Best shoe ever!

1995 - Aventi

If they did this in a high top it might make me willing to skate something other than a jordan or dunk high

[Torre]

How could you forget the Koston 3? It’s the most iconic Es shoe, perhaps after the Accel imho. I would certainly buy the remake

[cricketclub]

I didn’t forget it. It’s a pro model for a skater who is on Nike now.

Plus they are releasing a model “inspired” by the K3.
It’s different for sure though.

[Donald Rump]

Would be good to see Kostons 1-3 (without his name on them of course)

[Deepern0ah]

Looking through that site/timeline was tough. Minus the pro models, most shoes look terrible. I can't see reissues of any more team models being a good idea.

[unpop]

Breaker Mid - 2003 is nice.

Arto leaving out the Arto

I haven't bought any reissues but would probably get these

I don't recall Arto really wearing these though, seemed like he strictly ran Accels and Koston 1s. Maybe his pro es model was during the Really Sorry injury period.

[hip bruise]

They lose me around 2000.

Anybody remember white and navy vectors? Not sure If I’m confusing them with ethalons.

Do you know if there are any pictures anywhere of that “inspired” K3 shoe you speak of?
