ES Menikmati was the first video I saw, so it shaped my view of skating pretty heavily.
For that, I will always look at there shoes and feel a draw to buy them.
Unfortunately, they do some kooky things some times which makes it harder to support them.
I actually like watching Schmatty skate, but I don't think he adds to the ES that I like. He was good looking skating Adidas.
If ES is gonna retro shoes, I wish they would stick with the clean/classy styled shoes instead of the extra sporty tech shoes. Good leather, good fit, and durability should be key instead of trying to keep up with the DC Lynx. I honestly think they should campaign to get the Accel OG back to its old popularity. Just release a bunch of clean colorways and get riders to back it. Everyone loved that shoe because everybody skated it. The puffy/slim stigma is fake and just a trend.
