new shoe styles and color ways for returning shoe brand

The skate community was shocked in the fall of 2012 when éS announced it was going on a “creative retreat.” Many of the people in the skate community thought the company may never return.

During the hiatus, éS saw a constant demand for its product, most notably in Japan. The Japanese market really wanted the iconic Accel, so éS released four color ways of its classic shoe in November of 2013.

These shoes were only to be sold in Japan, and it became the number one shoe brand in the country immediately. People in the U.S. and Europe caught wind of it and started asking as well. All this culminated in the decision to drop something for February 2014.

On February 14^th one of the most iconic shoe brands came back to the skateboarding community. After a two year break, éS returned with a limited run of three shoes in two color ways.

éS is just putting these limited shoes out there to see how the skate community reacts. No decision has been made on if or when the brand will permanently return.

The pairs of shoes that are going to be available in local shops will never be produced again.

The question on many people’s minds, “Is there going to be a team?” Well the answer is, there is no official team, and there are no plans to release more shoes than this limited run.
