Wish eS would make some of their vulcs again

[Youoverthere]

who is actually buying eS that also remembers when they weren't corny?

me

Wish eS would make some of their vulcs again

I have positive memories of the Square 1. It was serviceable, but maybe not worthy of a reissue.

The Theory, on the other hand. Holy shit, sign me up.

If éS can bring back its classic cupsoles, there's no reason not to bring back some vulcs!

[foureyedjim]

Or black/grey again

Sorry Tate, but these are ugly as hell.  There’s nothing that stands out about them and the seam placement leaves way too much awkward open space

[Bubblegum Tate]

It was the only eS EOS pairs I had skated. Two of the black/grey. I don’t remember if they skated well or not.

Probably just a nostalgic factor that they are coming out again.

[EmericaTM]

Emerica TM, how's the fit for those new Gammas? Some models like the Reynolds G6 my typical 9.5 is unbearably tight but any vulc model was fine in that size. Would I have to go with my regular size or go up half a size?

I haven't tried them on myself but from what I've seen they're true to size.

I just had to google it to find the name, but Bobby Worrests' shoe, the 1st blood, was great. It flopped out and became so flimsy after the first trick, but as a flimsy vulc lover it was the best. I used to work at a skate shop and stole so many pairs of the checkered laces they came with.

They were really comfortable and they lasted me quite a while. I still have a pair of the original release blue/yellow/black pairs that I kept when eS went under

Tell me you were in a ska band in high school without telling me you were in a ska band

[MyUserName]

I can’t name one ska band and I had those...

Edit: Did some Googling, I have indeed heard of the name “Reel Big Fish” and was aware there was (is?) a band named the “Mighty Mighty Boss Stones.”

Haha it was Bosstones as in Boston/tones (in case you give a shit)

It’s just one of those shoes like the Brian Sumner Adios with the Union Jacks that just look/were adopted way outside of skateboarding because of its bold design or colorway.   And that plaid design is def something I could see being that way.

Looking at those eS, I immediately think of Save Ferris and their cover of 'Come On Eileen'. Lol One of my first intros to ska as a 10 year old actually.
Never had those

[wake and bacon]

the eos was sick and i'm glad theyre bringing it back. but all suede only for me please

[concerned_parent]

i liked these looked great with brown corduroy and oversized matix sweater



square one was ok too also went well with brown corduroy and oversized matix sweater



but man anything these guys have done in the past few years has not been appealing and definitely would not look good with brown corduroy and oversized matix sweater

Honestly, I love that es is back around, but yeah the shoes they have put out the last year or two have been pretty disappointing, I get it’s imaged to a certain skater, but I’d love to rock some thin accel’s with a good color scheme, not some crazy flashy flair. A vulc accel would be great like how they used to have, or just some simple accel slim colorways would be good, nothing crazy

Definitely need boot cut on those cords.

I know that the Menikmati/Koston era is what people usually reflect on when they talk about eS but this is honestly the era I'm most nostalgic for. Their shoes and team were great in their later years and they were honestly one of my favorite brands. It's hard watching what a shell of its former self it has become.

They come in normal, solid colorways all the time. Right now you can get a few different black colorways, all brown, grey, white... check the site.

I own brown cords and they look great with the black Accel Slims, would look even better with some white ones.

[Bubblegum Tate]

Last year or so I was cleaning my garage and I found these. Now I don’t know where they are.

I just remembered they skated great.

[JugeL]

I really miss those 2010ish more padded vulcs

Maybe few more years and they start reissuing those

I also genuinely miss when they did stuff like put things like a primo guard in the sole. Loved all that tech stuff. eS Arklow.

Has this already been discussed? Seems like someone started a brand and didn't realize getting people to endorse your products who haven't been relevant in skateboarding in decades never ends well. On top of that, you'd think if you're trying to associate your brand with skateboarding that you wouldn't name your main shoe after one of another major brand's best selling models... wow. Even did a Wino slip.

Edit: I'm a noob who didn't realize that's actually the name for that style of shoe in general.
