JUST ordered a pair. My friend in middle school had these and I was super jealous. NEVER skated these because we couldn’t afford them. I would get my older brothers hammy downs for everything; boards, shoes, trucks etc.
Thanks for the comment on the sizing. I am size 8.5 on the muska and wasnt sure which size to go on these and i will go half size up as you mentioned. Cheers
@@carlosaltamirano2419 I was skating them yesterday and I really do enjoy them a lot. I’ll probably skate Muska’s or Creager’s or maybe the Tribo/Vireo next session.
You also have the black red white colorway dropping early 25 and the grey navy with yellow hits at the same time... Wish i could post a pic here of them... The navy white and the black red were my favorite colorwats i had of the K2 so I'm hyped for em...
@@RealLifeSkater get the Shop app and snag a pair. I’m sure there are PLENTY of shops that have your size. Remember they haven’t hit the éS website as of yet
@@enjoy_the_board just got it and can't wait for it to arrive. I should also add that This review did help so thank you for helping with my decision for a new backpack
@@noah7026 I appreciate that, homie. I hope you like the bag. I remember talking to CCS like 2 years ago and they wanted to make the bag then but they were having issues picking a manufacturer that would use quality materials but keep the price reasonable. I hope the new bag is as good as the old one
@@enjoy_the_board I'll let ya know how it is after I use it a bit. Surprising that there's not a lot of reviews on it either. The bag is about 70 bucks (free shipping as well) so that's not too bad in my opinion.
CCS Catalog Spring 1998 with Koston on the cover. Doing a switch backside tailslide on a school picnic table. Was golden. This one has most of the same in it. It’s a little bit different. ✌️
@@enjoy_the_board Yeah tried both times the dropped the cop one and it sold out too fast both times haha, here is hoping for a third chance. Snagged all the signed Rosa decks at least
@@victorperfecto7472 that should work, I’m a 9 in the fatter accel OG and an 8.5 in the newer version. Idk if for this season it’s just the Le Dome and Year of the Dragon accel OG that have the slimmer fit though.
@@cte same sole which skates great! I had the Asta Evant colorway; the 298 is a vastly different shoe, fits and feels way better on my foot. It skates better than the Evant IMO, and you get that “feeling yourself” vibe in the 298. There are more colorways coming later this year and early next year so def hop on those
I’ve bought 20+ pairs of eS shoes over the past 20 years. The quality and materials has taken a significant dive in recent years. I’ve been disappointed with most of the pairs I’ve bought in the past 5 years. Ive always loved eS. Sadly, not so much anymore. 😢
Man i had two shortys boards when i was a teen back in 99/00 and i remember the tail feeling shorter than most decks that i skated. I got used to it but ill always remember the shortys shape
I like how they have a mellow concave and a medium kick. the nose and tail are kinda pointy compared to Flip and a couple other brands I like to skate.
Skateboarding peaked like 99-2004 everything was so sick nowadays they re issue the old fire graphics but do it no justice. They shrink it down and put it on a wood stain deck . I hate the way boards and graphics are now.
@enjoy_the_board Thanks. Can you tell me how these fit compared to the éS tribo x vireo x chomponkicks. I got these in a half size up and got an 11 and wondering if 11 will work for the tribo or if the toe box will allow for a 10.5. Again thanks for the help!
@@enjoy_the_board white gum sole, just like yours in the video, I even bought them from the EU site a month ago, while the beige/white ones I bought December 2023
@@NuclearcoreSkeletness see that's where my frustration is; they change the sizing and the "fattness" without letting us know so the sizing is off and you don't know until they're on your feet.
@@enjoy_the_board Yes, but I also noticed this with DC Net, I have black DC Net that have a thick tongue, and I don't even need (almost) an elastic tongue centering straps, while with my white DC Net, I have to tighten them really tight, to the point where they don't even look like skate shoes. Although I'm not a skater, just a hip hop head, but I don't like to wear shoes with a small silhouette like Nike, Adidas or the other hype brands
@@NuclearcoreSkeletness I prefer tongue straps in every shoe, they're not in th eS tribo/vireo and the puffy tongue slides off center all the time. I don't notice it functionally, but it just looks weird.
ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S9eet4N7iSs.html around the 8:25 mark, he talks about rebuilding them like they were back in the mid/late 90's
@@enjoy_the_board that’s legit. I never had any of the other colorways of this shoe, but I heard all of the ones leading up to these were too small. Then some of the people that were reviewing these shoes pointed out that this colorway seemed to be more TTS. I can’t be for sure because all I have is the white/navy blue colorway and it fits me TTS.
You have to keep into consideration that different materials used on the same shoe silhouette end in a different shape in the toe box. Normally leather and synthetics you need to half size up. On suede and nubuk its mostly tts
Definitely hoping they make some dark green and other neutral colored accels in this new style, I enjoy the old 90s style padding it reminds me of the Etnies snake in terms of padding, which I have really enjoyed skating.
These are thicker than the Etnies snake. I saw the Spring 25 catalog and there’s no green, but there’s going to be a really nice navy/royal/grey pair and a black with green accents
@@enjoy_the_board it’s definitely a shoe I am excited to look at in person, a bit more padding compared to the snake should be nice. Also that’s very exciting a navy royal grey accel would be very cool, can’t go wrong with green accents on black shoes either, thanks for the info!
Shorty's was huge in my area when I first started skating (late 90s early 2000s). We had Church Of Skatan which was run by Shorty's sadly it's gone now, the headquarters was in downtown Santa Barbara and me and my friends went in there the people working there gave us stickers there was a gigantic poster of muska doing a hubba lipslide. Sometimes they would do wherehouse sales where you could get clothes, hardware, bearings, decks for dirt cheap. Good old days of Shorty's, I guess it's kind of a dead brand now which sucks
I could see that being a better fit; thin out the collar/achilles area a little but keep the tongue puffed. I just want them to taper the squared off corners of the tongue and make them rounder like the OG version.
So are they like the Le Dome or the other pair? My shop homie is getting a special run of shop select accel OG in the fall so I guess I’ll find out how that batch fits
I really like the reissues they've done (I have the creager and muska) but the kostons suck dude both are half the original shoe. I had the k1 and 2 ogs back in the day and I'd like to have the same outsole as they had back then it was a big part of the look and feel of the shoe when skating them
I hear you, and you're saying what a lot of people are saying and I agree with you. For some reason, this is what they gave us. I don't hate the Evant sole...I'm not a huge fan of the Evant shoe as a whole though. What sucks is that éS is making a new accel (Accel Fit) with a new sole mold for Spring 25 when they could have gave us a real Koston 1 or 2 OR 3 sole.
