They look pretty cool not in screen grabs. It's a fast break lo but with the embossed logo as mentioned. There's also less paneling, mesh on the tongue backing and some other tweaks. I'm looking forward to them, but i wouldn't say it's a fully distinct model. Just a fancy fastbreak

I feel like having all the separate containment threads for each shoe company has really killed this thread. Now it's just random ass companies or the ones that are trying to make a come back...
[close]

Thread hasn’t been the same since Tate passed honestly. The containment threads don’t help but at least we get actual company workers like rothmeyer and emericatm in those ones to answer questions.
[close]

I do agree that the other shoe threads cannibalize the other releases

For the most part I never have any interest in the brands I post in this thread, except ice creams

That being said, be the change you want to see. I see post about how there’s nothing interesting in the thread. Post what you want to talk about. Share the new shoes you like.

I feel like the industry has slowed down so much with new models.

Also, Jake and Cromer both deserve pro models.

Would love to try those if they weren’t near impossible to find in the US.

From Cromers IG story. Not sure if it’s something new or some deadstock cons that he is always wearing.
[close]
They’re probably new because I saw a story or post with both Jake Johnson and Shane Farber wearing those.
[close]

Are they some sort of fastbreak variation? A bunch of the cons team wearing them on a recent tour.
[close]

It's a Jake Johnson fastbreak lo
[close]

It’s a Jake Johnson pro shoe supposedly, not explicitly a fastbreak variation.

Feels weird to give Jake a pro model now when he’s basically retired

Definitely should have kept the stitched on logo and probably done it as the dark color paneling to break it up.

It's strange, since I've been a big proponent of the Fastbreak mids for years now, having 4 pairs under my desk right now, but these lows just look awful...

The other Fastbreak lows didn't look bad...

Maybe it's just the angle...

Or the colorway...

Just not for me...

At least I ended up watching 'A Golden Egg' by Chris Atherton/Jesse James again today during work, so good...

You really have to try hard to butcher the Fastbreak like that. Low or mid.

i was thinking karhu because of the colorway and those lace loops, i forgot that am95s were like that too. they reminded me of that etnies snake shoe as far as the paneling goes but i think you might be right. that humara toe piece is pretty much identical to this es shoe as well. i still don't think they look that bad though

Definitely look like some trail shoes. I almost feel like they should keep it simple cause the all black looks great but the colored ones are a little much.

They kinda weird but a good way to utilize their model of paying for a specific sole mold while still having new shoes. That said can we give wade a shoe already? I thought one got leaked a while back?

I have to admit that eS is slowly improving its designs.
