Really digging the Quattros that came out in the last eS drop (white with grey accents), can’t try them on locally but the consensus was to half size up yeah?

just got the vegan quattros yesterday. tried them on and they seem tts, but im a US 13 and find that sometimes “half size up” reccs dont apply to me

Those will be dropping next month so sometime in the next couple weeks. In the meantime we just dropped 2 synthetic suede color ways featuring the Toy Machine slip-on and a black/black Temple. This is the first time in a while that we've dropped some synths and am pretty stoked that our vegan collection is growing.

@EmericaTM yes, great job on the slip on and the temple, particularly the later. If I go back to vulcs I’ll be keen to cop, in the meantime I’m waiting on those Quentins…

the synthetic suede Accel OG's are up on the eS site now. I'm so torn by these...I'm fairly certain I would never wear them but I still want them so bad, for purely nostalgic purposes.

Thanks for posting this.

I was thinking my next pair of shoes would be the Temples, now I'm not sure. I remember having accels in the early 2000s and thinking they were the magic ingredient to shredding. But, I haven't skated anything that puffy in over a decade.

I'm set on the Temples once my Joslins wear out, but these are some good looking jawns. I don't know if I could handle that much puff though.

I'm looking forward to the synth Accels, don't remember really seeing any as a kid but maybe there were a few? There must've been, right? Hopefully it's the same fake suede as what they've used on the current range of shoes as that is very suede like in many ways.

I still have this colourway in a box, never worn. Actually look quite dope consdiering it's a weird camo colour.

Temples look so good, don’t know anyone who has skated them yet … or whether I can do vulcs. Quentin is also dropping soon so that might be the better option for me but the grey / orange Quattros are also calling me. 2022 is looking up for the vegan shoe game

@EmericaTM it seems like there's something funky going on with the emerica site. You can find the vegan Quentins at the very bottom of the "vegan" search below all the sale stuff, but they don't appear anywhere in the "new arrivals" or team shoes page. Are these purposely being buried (maybe for a special launch?), or just a glitch on the site?

@EmericaTM Also, the Quentin (Navy) description says "SUEDE/SYNTHETIC"; is it SUEDE/SYNTHETIC or is it SYNTHETIC SUEDE?

@EmericaTM lets page him in here!
Yeah, it’s under the vegan shoes but the description is a bit iffy, same with those grey Etnies widrows; not sure if actually vegan or not…
Anyway, please let me know who is getting these Quentins in Japan!

It must be a glitch. Could be because it's the only Quentin on the site and are still waiting for several other colorways to arrive.

It's synthetic suede.

Such a great color way AND a cupsole, I was ready to buy them as soon as they dropped …

I almost ordered the Cykles since they were on sale but couldn't pull the trigger. Just ordered the OG Accels instead, which i'm really stoked about. Had quite a few pairs of those in the late 90s/early 00s

I wanna try out the NB420s, but can't find them in 13s. Seems like the highest they go is 12

Thanks for reply. I’m fine with vulcs, currently. LRAB hard to get rn. Guess I’ll just wait.
I really like my nb 1010s. So I’ll glance at the 420s.
I need to do some deep dive, but I’m assuming that CONS being a huge corp does something pointless to chuck taylors, the 70s, etc to make them not vegan. Probably the same for pf flyers, and vans: unneeded heel patch of suede or some dumb thing.

My Favs in order:

The OG eS Everstitch, sometimes they pop up on eBay.
The Etnies Windrow x Sheep.
The Nyjah Freeskate, they're a good shoe, but ugh, Nyjah.

A lot of the newer eS's and Etnies fit my feet terribly (evidently women typically have narrower feet?), they're quite wide and chunky feeling.

Ok · « **Reply #1527 on:** March 14, 2022, 11:42:38 AM »

Hot list!
I’d never…but the nyjah 1’s or 2’s are vegan?
Some of those sheep shoes look sick. Most are sold out. I’ll keep an eye out.
Holy fuck the Etnies site is not rad. Fumbling it.
Anyways, thanks all for the recs!!!

The Nyjah 1 and 2 Free are vegan. The Nike Free SB (non-Nyjah) is not vegan. The Nyjah's run really narrow. Might be a shoe to try on before you waste your money on something that doesn't fit.
