Not my photo but I’m skating this color eS symbol.
Literally the worst lacing system I have ever experienced in my life. My lace holes weren’t cut right so it was super hard to get my laces through them. Then I accidentally put a lace through the wrong hole and had the hardest time ever trying to pull it back out. I almost tore apart the whole side panel trying to get the lace out. I almost ended up just cutting the lace but finally got it out after destroying my thumb.
Least board feel of all the shoes I skated in 2019.
Took the longest to break in out of all the shoes I skated this year.
Now that they are broken in, they are good and comfortable.
Probably won’t buy them again mainly because of the lace holes.
Also instead of tongue straps they have some weird thing where tongue straps should be and you HAVE to also put your laces through it. I had to rip that shit also because the holes also were not cut properly or big enough for the lace to go through. Giant pain in the ass.
eS pls how could you wrong me like this, your brand is part of my name
I really want the Accel OG red bodega next.
Edit: after about a week of ska to g they are fully broken in and they are comfy and board feel got way better.
Basically just the lace hole thing is my only gripe.
They are on par with Lynx OG and Etnies Czar and the width/puffy ness is between Lynx OG 2019 and Kalis Lite
