The guy that ran muckmouth was pretty vocal about veganism so I'm pretty sure those eS collabs are a safe bet.
Even better, check this: https://www.muckmouth.com/stylus.html

Interesting details about the Muckmouth Stylus. I'm partial to Soletech shoes and don't recall seeing any concrete info those were vegan when they came out. I stand corrected on it, so thanks! @Gray Imp Sausage Metal & @PuffinMuffin  👊🏻🤙🏻

Shame they never made synth Spanky G6 from what i recall. Maybe they'll do one for the Spanky Hi?

They were under the animal friendly section on the eS site and most shops’ product descriptions mentioned it.

Spanky G6 got replaced by the KSL G6 which had one synth colorway (black/black/gum?). Spanky Hi replaced that but only had 3-5 colorways that were all suede before getting replaced by the KSL III.


Add the blue/black colorway of the Val Bauer Surplus from Globe to the list. Textile upper and lining on the tag, even though the Globe site didn’t list them as vegan. They fit long like CTAS, so I had to exchange them for .5 size smaller.

Fall ‘25


does anyone know how to see the winter and spring offerings?




Etnies catalog is all carry-overs, didn’t seem worth posting

(Edit) pretty sure those prices are in cad before anyone gets scared

[close]

looks like we'll get a few more synth (cupsole) models from emerica...
Do I spy a synth (grey) OG1?

[close]

Does anyone know if the light grey/grey OG1s on the emerica site right now are the synthetic/mesh OG1s pictured in this?

[Gray Imp Sausage Metal]

OG-1s are confirmed 🥑

[pedro_mayn]

Ordered some of the Accels that are listed on the EU éS site with the 'animal friendly' tag. I believe are the proper OGs closer to the pre-2004 reshape or w/e.

Seem pretty decent, nice colourway that isn't garish and have a vegan tag attached on one of the shoes.

As I tend to skate more bulkier shoes I just stock pile anything like this now, as I almost struggled on a reup of some daps last year.

nice! The grey/ blue colorway right? Let us know how they skate/ fit because the OG accels they’ve been putting out all these years look almost comical …

[rolling is good]

Where is the features list on the és site ? On the accel page I see nothing.

I'm able to go on the és site thanks.
I still don't see a prescise description list of the shoes like they used to have, where they'd mention the material.

[DarkPools]

Es Swift 2.0 in the Dark Grey/Light Grey colorway is Vegan.

Though, the US website doesn't state ANYWHERE that is from what I saw. Not sure if any shops selling it know it's Vegan until they see it in person

Got these in a 12 and they are SNUG! Too tight for me, which is odd because a 12 in Accel Fit (same sole) and nearly all Accel OGs and the '95 Accel fit me well. Fair warning these Swift 2.0 may run a tad small depending on your foot shape/preferences

Anyways, I'm confirming another Vegan shoe/colorway exists:

[noxiousPond]

I finally got my first session in the new Nyjah 4’s. I’m not a Nyjah fan exactly and have never liked his shoes but this is the first model I actually like design wise.  I gotta say I’m really loving them. Super flexible out of the box but still tight around the foot where I can’t see it becoming floppy over time. There’s definitely less grip than your typical skate shoe but I prefer it. For me it’s absolutely the perfect amount of grip. Really genuinely surprised how much I like them. Not to mention they are ridiculously durable.

Edit: posted a screenshot of some NBs that Andrew Cannon was wearing but he confirmed in dm they’re not vegan. Whack.

ha! I messaged him about them too…
He told me about his reasoning, which I won’t get into here, but I feel like those NBs aren’t the only supportive cupsoles out there; those swifts that @DarkPools posted look like they have ample support to me 🤷‍♀️

Which reminds me:
@DarkPools have you skated yours yet? I’m hoping for an all black/ gum vegan colorway

I really want to but they feel too small/cramped in the toe box in the size i got. :/ I don't think I'll skate them,  sadly.

They do feel cushioned from heel to toe, but are also quite flexible. Similar to how many running/lifestyle shoes are: plush/squishy underfoot, except it's not overly soft and there's ample give for skating in them.

I have the Accel Fits (same sole) and they are great to chill/walk around in, so I'm eager to skate those

I think I liked the top down pic better...

I just received the Village PM 1.00 in Camo and the sticker shows animal hide on the upper of the shoe.
Bit bummed now since i thought village pm confirmed they're vegan.
Anyway i'm returning them and buy the 1.30 now.

The UN440VBB should start hitting stores and our web soon for those looking for a new synthetic Numeric.  The stock just hit our warehouse so they should be shipping to stores that ordered them now.  I see them live on the NB Canada site already actually.

Brown with the black toe cap?

[Fitspire]

FWIW i dm`ed Village PM and they responded pretty quick that the Camo 1.00 is definitely vegan.

There's some testing going on for another model currently but nothing in production right now aside from this.

The zipper pocket where the Half Cab branding is looks like real suede.
