All suede instead of plastic

Those are looking pretty nice.

Oh, when I said I wanted a CM901 reissue a few pages back, I meant the CM901 - not a piece of shit.

Summer one hasn’t been unlocked yet as far as I know…

[Shuh]

pre-order is open. rm719 (usd162.28)..don't know what's the actual MSRP from ES

I sort of that hate skateshop, but the owner doing that opened the door for accepting pre orders for other shoes.

Any éS heads reading this, reissue the K2 in navy/white, please

[Bigfoot is real]

If es is around in 2025, I will be shocked.

Look nice enough but gotta be careful with your outfit otherwise you'll look like a skin head. Multiple insoles is a good feature off the bat

From On Video Summer 2002..how CM503 was made. time 14:45 - 21:05.

Just got the OG-1’s in hand and they are very clearly not an “internal eva midsole” like stated in the catalog, it’s a regular old egg crate cupsole. Can emericatm explain why this kind of thing happens because it leaves a sour taste.
There’s a slim chance I’m wrong but I’m not willing to cut up some shoes to find out.

[Bigfoot is real]

I wish him the best, but I am not his target audience.

Has anyone pulled the trigger on a Muska pre order? $200 (CAD) 8 months in advance feels…a bit much. And I say this as someone who has heavy nostalgia buying history.

I’m really curious where y’all are seeing pre-orders open for these. My shop is gonna be stocking them when they arrive like any other shoe and aren’t making people pay for stock in advance. Seems like a strange sales tactic to me.
Edit: I also saw $170 (cad) so unless that’s $200 after tax I’d just wait if I were you.

[Mosritemike]

Couple Canadian stores have posted the pre order route. Honestly, if they were doing this to cover their overhead I’d be more down, I just get some weird vibes via es on this one….

Canadian reps haven’t been pushing shops to do pre-orders on these so I doubt it’s anything soletech/es are pushing. Es is weird but I wouldn’t let this effect how you see them.

Those look awesome but Emerica's, Globe's, Hours Is Yours' already exist with similar models in the same price range. I like that Doc Martin skate boot but it's been done.

This looks like one of the better attempts, if not the best.

If anyone is interested from a shop perspective:
Our shop just opened pre-orders for the Muskas. Sole Tech or reps are not pushing for the pre-orders. I had to email and ask permission to do the pre-order since the photos had already been leaked everywhere and other shops were already doing it.

From the perspective of a shop it makes a lot more sense to open up pre-orders on a $200 shoe (that's the Canadian MSRP, if someone is doing $170 they're undercutting as fuck) because that's a super fucking risky price of a shoe to just try and guess how many people will want. The fact of the matter is that dudes who want a shoe like The Muska will be happy to pre-order and ensure they are getting the exact size and colour they want, but the average customer walking in browsing for shoes isn't going to be like "Damn look at this crazy looking $200 eS shoe, I'll take it!"

Perfect example is the One Nine 7s and the recent MJ reissue. Neither of those have been selling exceptionally well even though all everyone out there talks about is how much they wish they could get reissues. Doesn't mean they're necessarily going to buy them. And then you're stuck with a bunch of throwback shoes you're trying to sell to the average consumer who if they like that shape would rather have an Accell or something.

Case in point, that new MJ reissue, between two locations we ordered 28 pairs of them and we only sold 1 so far. That would be pretty brutal if it were a shoe as expensive as The Muska. Honestly wish all reissue type releases were opened up to pre-order. It would be a lot better for everyone.

[pugmaster]

To be fair, the available mj colorway sucks. The consumers want a 1:1 reissue of classic colorways. Same thing with the 917, the sole was a boner killer.

The consumers will consume if what is being released is what they desired for consumption. Otherwise, it is a DX crotch chop from the consumers to the companys.

I agree with you about pre orders.

Do you have a bunch of DC Lynx OGs sitting on the shelf collecting dust?

No, those sold decent when we had them but we stopped carrying DC years ago.

This is brutal on the MJ re-issue.  I feel like these re-issues from Sole Tech come out of nowhere unless you're someone on these boards or follow shoe accounts on Instagram.  This feels especially true of skateshop day exclusives.  Like I knew about these both coming for awhile but did the average skater? I'd venture no

Adidas Superskate $100 usd drops February 25. They’ve been up on the adidas confirmed app for a couple weeks I think. I believe this model has been out for a little while now. I’m not sure how many colors they’ve done though. I only remember an all white one that ended up on the shelf at my local outlet
