its all just a ploy to get you to buy some eS's..   id still be more inclined to support eS than etnies or emerica. i like the eS design team. but, its all about the benjamins..  still - there must be several other shoe companies  bringing in far less profit than the eS sector of SoleTech..  i still dont buy it

I'm glad that they're releasing the Bobby part. If Es is gonna rock it for another year before they call it quits, for their last line they should just rerelease all of their classic shoes. I bet if they put out the Koston 1s, the Koston 3s, the Accells, and maybe some others, they could make some cash on the way out. Might as well since Sole Tech is still in the game, and you know the collectors would eat those shits up.

Do people just come into threads and not read any responses? Es will be continuing operations (having a skate team, putting out shoes, etc.) until they officially close up shop.

I'm glad that they're releasing the Bobby part. If Es is gonna rock it for another year before they call it quits, for their last line they should just rerelease all of their classic shoes.

please god yes. i would buy a few pairs of Koston 3's if they re-released them.

i plan on buying this shoe and the mandersons before es go under. If they re-released the accels i would love to get a pair, never had them before.

officially they say that they are going "on hiatus"  --  which, if thats even going to be the case, would mean they are temporarily ceasing operations - implying they would plan on starting up operations again at some point in the future. for all we know, they could announce at this time next year that sales have been great and they decided not to go on hiatus. eS isn't going under. sounds more to me like they are just downsizing and cutting production costs
Title: Re: Bobby VS Edgar coming out

I think they said "creative hiatus." Which makes me think that they will not be putting out any new shoes, touring to make new videos, etc.

As for how much profit they were making, in the business press release thing, it said that es was making the second lowest profit of all the sole tech companies. Altamont making the least... however, their profits are like doubling every year. And you know that shit isn't going to slow down anytime soon.
What's gay is that sole tech also has a snowboard boot/apparel company that they're going to continue to run. But I guess they gotta look at it from a business standpoint if that company is making more money.

yesss!! Bobby is one of my all time favorites.  Everything he has ever put out is great, as I'm sure this will be.  He fits perfectly on es, it's really a shame that they are going on "hiatus".
Title: Re: Bobby VS Edgar coming out
Post by: manbergur on September 14, 2011, 09:01:44 AM
i thought Altamont was making the most? they should keep Manderson, Mccrank, Rattray and Worrest.. can the rest. dont put out a new shoe but release a whole batch of re-releases..  anyway i guess this guy Pierre Andr� Senizergues runs the whole gig over at SoleTech, so maybe its all up to him in the end.

That's so true it's funny. I used to skate with a guy who rode for Globe but never even wore them because he didn't like any of their shoes.

I was in Costa Rica this past summer and nearly every surf/skateshop I went to stocked a lot of Globe's. Costa Rica has a huge surf scene with a growing skateboarding scene. A long with the SoleTec 3 Globe was the next biggest skate shoe there.
