The evants need to stop.

They remind me of my favorite movie

Lemony snickets a series of unfortunate evants

eS is such a weird company. They’re so upfront about wanting people to remember when they were cool to the point where they don’t even try to do anything modern or exciting anymore. Even on their social media I see them post clips of ex riders at about the same rate as they post their current team. It’s kinda sad. It’s like a nostalgia company, but at least with other nostalgia companies there’s usually people who were actually there during the peak.

This is exactly my feelings on es but i think the accel slim and swift 1.5 are great and feel they could pull their heads out of their ass and release excellent shoes at any time. Will it happen? probably not but I can dream

Actually think the silo looks not too bad but I would never wear them personally

No one that was in Menikmati even skates for ES any more ( except for Ronnie , if he is flo or whatever), but yeah those Koston 3 monstrosities are just uncalled for.

They at least added a new team rider recently in Marcus Shaw, he rips. Great fit.

Honestly, the sole on the Evant is what kills it for me. I saw this sole-swap on IG:

It looks so much better with that sole.

This whole es 2.0 experience has induced much more nausea than nostalgia.

Got some more pics from eS summer 2020 - with the full shoes this time

First video, Favorite company.

Boy is this a mess. Honestly, go watch Menikmati once and watch what shoes/colorways show up the most, make some of those colorways.

I'm complaining about es once a week at the rate they're messing things up.
They think that the Accel Slim is going to save them, but the shoe sucks, and they finally had to add a better insole and promote it because the shoe was thin as paper before.
Swift is a good shoe, but isn't that great looking.

They're putting all of their eggs into one puffy-ass basket.

I've seen up to Holiday 20 eS catalogs. Be prepared to complain every time.

Agree. Somehow the only take away from one of the biggest skate videos of a generation is that the box art was black, white, and red? Fuck man.

It's weird cause I feel like a couple years back they were coming out with some new original type shit like the Sesla that a lot of people were stoked on. Guess they just gave up on that for the nostalgia wave tho.

If Es put out any of those colorways that skateshoedreams comes up with, i would instantly buy a pair. This dude is doing the work for them, handed to them on a silver plater and they are still fucking up.

The white Carolina blue is too hot. Damn.

The renderings below also look better than anything they’ve brought to market.

Core companies need to make a significantly higher quality product. I am sure that will have a lower yield in profits, I just don’t see a different path. Just make better shoes. It’s possible.

JudoOrigami · « **Reply #36679 on:** April 13, 2020, 02:13:56 PM »

How are these companies supposed to give jobs to all their worthless buddies AND come up with new innovative products that look good. You guys are asking way too much

All black Splines looking good

wake and bacon · « **Reply #36681 on:** April 13, 2020, 05:10:48 PM »

i just still can't fathom what all the designers were thinking with the evant sole. it's bad enough on its own, but when you have a mismatch in color between the sole and the upper like in those menikmati ones, it is atrocious, ridiculous, and disgusting. i can't say enough bad things about it. they fucked up so badly

WideFeet · « **Reply #36682 on:** April 13, 2020, 05:23:34 PM »

How is the OG Accel not apart of the Menikmati pack?

A Top 5, maybe even Top 3 shoe of all time, and they don’t include that shoe in the pack.

That shoe was in its prime when that video came out. I’m so confused.

Building on this, why not re-issue a shoe from that time period with the launch of this pack? Seems like the perfect PR opportunity.

Koston 1, Koston 3, and Creager were the big ones in the video. Accels went through their boom right after during Sorry and Yeah Right when Koston went through that weird longish hair phase

Also, the box was Black, Dark Grey and Red VHS

Es messing up their re-releases is like Vans not having old skools/sk8 highs/half cabs for sale, then when they go to re-release a classic they pick the Willy Santos 3.
We're more amazed at their bad taste at a time where skateboarding could use their skater owned-ness.
