Is eS skate shoe brand REALLY closing down on us in March?
They just released Mike Anderson's pro shoe.

Tell me what you all think.

they still need to honor contracts and buyer agreements so even though it may seem weird that they keep putting shoes out, I think it's a legal thing.

bbk · « **Reply #2 on:** February 02, 2012, 04:31:30 PM »

they said right when they made the announcement that they would release the spring 2012 line...

goldman · « **Reply #3 on:** February 02, 2012, 04:40:19 PM »

but why would they release a pro model and then go under a month after -__- mandersons not getting paid or anything for it...

i'm sure they started working on his shoe long before they knew they were going out of business. they wouldn't tell one of their riders that he was getting a pro shoe and then randomly scrap it. or maybe they would, i really have no idea. i'm just talking shit.

goldman · « **Reply #5 on:** February 02, 2012, 04:45:54 PM »

i see what you mean, but Rodrigo TX had a shoe in the works too. Manderson had samples in Not Another Transworld Video. Fuck it. you have the best picture down there...

BraveUlysses · « **Reply #6 on:** February 02, 2012, 04:50:09 PM »

There are only three people left on the team page. Shit is real.

my friend & i were talking about this shit the other day. personally i think they gon come back "reborn" in like 2-3 years if the world as we know it still exists by then

Kristi Yamaguchi · « **Reply #20 on:** February 02, 2012, 07:14:33 PM »

They invested how ever many thousand(or million) dollars into designing and producing this stuff, do you really think they are just going to drop everything and say "fuck it" because they are going out of business? That's not how you run a business dude. They still are legally required to honor all of their prior agreements.

It would be cool if they wait awhile for the tech shoe craze to pick up again and then start releasing old school eS shoes.

Though I must say that their shoes were starting to look pretty good before they pulled the plug as well.
