UNBOXING éS Koston 2 (Two Nine 8) *IN DETAIL* | Classic 1998 Skate Shoe 

Thanks!! LOOK ^^^

The red on the tongue does as well

I had a feeling 😬

Thanks! Appreciate the watch

The reissues been killin me I’m getting them all! Haha. For me a cupsole is still hard to skate. At least the Axions I tried recently were

@@RealLifeSkater i got the axion genesis midtop and even to walk around in they feel pretty hard to break in and like more elevated than my other cupsoles. i have a bunch of old emerica g6s that are cupsoles but way slimmer than the reissues so im getting used to it that way

@mattmendoza7193 I have the genesis mid too! Ok so maybe it’s just these… I’m not gonna skate my residues though haha. It would be cool to look down and see a 90s shoe while skating though

Hell yeah

Hell yeah! Was def a vibe. And so, so different for that time. Especially for a skate shoe

They’re clean man. Yeah the other colors look dope but I couldn’t wait… had to get em now haha

Those do look clean actually. Something about the two tone on the side of the white/navy or the grey/yellow ones really resembles the original K2s more to me though. Overall, those colors don’t look as good as the white or blacks, but they just remind me of actual K2s more idk why

@RealLifeSkater just an amazing shoe all an all. Ahead of its time back in the day. Shame I didn't get them I had the k1 and k3 never the k2

@edwinguzman2456 Ah! Damn. I had the K1 and K2 and never got the K3 haha. Yeah def ahead of its time. I never thought about it that way. I guess that’s why at first it was hard to swallow, we just recognized it was super “different”

damn whens this colorway dropping ??? want these so bad

Nice! Two pairs?

Just got gifted a pair of the navy , theyre pretty cool . Lead me to this video actually.

@denzelperez7933 Awesome! Wait, the navy Two Nine 8s are out? Link?

@@RealLifeSkater nah brother , tj rogers was at this event i worked recently . after the event he left them near me when i tried to give em back he told me to keep em lol so after realizing theyre too small i decided to learn more about them , only to discover theyre a sample pair (stitched on insole ) but ill have to wait to eventually buy a pair lol . id post a picture but youtube dont know how lol

Rockin’ em right now out to breakfast. Feelin’ fresh 😁

I'm trying to find a shot where I took it out lol

@@RealLifeSkater😂😂

@GasGotti 🙃

Good idea! You’re def right. I might try that

I noticed that with the laces too! Forgot to mention it. There was a small part that was stained red a little but I was able to hide it and twist it so it wasn’t seen. It’s def a stiffer shoe. I don’t remember the K2 enough to recall if it was squishy or not but I’ll take your word. I mean, the time K2 came out skate shoes were making tons of $$$ and éS probably reflected that in the materials they used. Maybe had to cut some corners in 2024, idk. I agree the nostalgia is there and really that’s why I got them. I love éS too. The Muskas seemed spot on… but I can’t tell if they (Muskas) were stiffer than the original ones or not. I feel like maybe the new materials they use these days aren’t as high quality

And yea, my 197s in 11.5 fit better than the 298s at 11.5. But they’re still wearable

Oh damn! Thanks for that. They look good.

Yeah they do. I just ordered a pair. I didn't realize they were coming out until I noticed a email that they were released. I got it around 10am but didn't notice it until like 3pm. I wasn't sure if they had sold out by then. But I checked and they still had a lot of sizes left.

I’m a size 12 and got my 197s in 12 and 11.5. Both fit good. In the 298 I got a 11.5 and it’s a TAD snugger than the 197 but still fits fine. I’ve never heard of anyone going UP a size in any of these éS reissues but maybe I haven’t heard that info… ? I’d say stick to your size. BUT if you’ve been going up .5 in the reissues and like it, then maybe that’ll work for you on these as well?

@@RealLifeSkater thank you your advice helps a lot. I will get them in my true to size 9. Thanks again.

Happy to help

Yeah once again it’s the midsole 🤦‍♂️

Hahaha. Fave comment on my entire channel

Say whaaaa
