Yo, what kicks you skating, Koston?
This weekend at Kostons private warehouse, Bobby Worrest showed up and threw down some amazing tech skills. The session was a heated one. The one thing we noticed is that most of the dudes there were wearing the Accelerate. Any of you try this shoe yet? What do you think? Koston said he liked the feel, and the full gel made a difference. Like, Whoa!

this colour combination is bad. black/white is very good, but colour variance beside this text :_)
I hate the blue sole, disguststing! The other colourways are good though. És need to move away from the Accels, it's obviously the only decent shoe they've ever made that still sells, all there new stuff is rip offs or to tech, get some new designers!
eS IS THE HOTNESS. PERMITTING SLANG, BUT THEY ARE. GAME.
tHE TECH SHOES?
eVER SEE THEM IN KIDS SIZES? mAKES ME WISH i HAD SMALL FEET. sTOOPID.

Sean...you are truly a fool
Well I can take that, im entitled to my own opinion. Im liking the fact this place isn't full of losers like the Emerica forums..yet!
The blue sole is_the best part
keep maken accels!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello, colé rodrigo tudo bem?
ai vei sei que este model naum é seu mas eu nem sei falar inglês direito mesmo para fala sobre! então eu estou aqui para mandar um abraço para todos que são brasileiro que estão no EUA e os manos dai (americanos)tambem que andão de skate, pois skate é vida ,fui mano my name is Herbert da Salvador Bahia ,abraço.
ai se vc poder manda ai seu msn pra me de boua!
They look nice, but not in that colorway.
I like that colorway the best. Don't worry the all black will be out soon.
The accelerates are sick shoes for kickin it in, i think they are to heavy to skate in, the brown and white ones are the sickest i think the normal accels are the ones to skate in. you guys shouldnt hate on sean, hes allowed to voice his opinion too, just because it isnt the same as yours you shouldnt call him names and shit
my friend micah, he got them shoes and in two weeks both shoes blew out. the gel was blown out. this happened after he skated the double in fort smith indoor park. bad ass park. you can press on the outsole and its easy to push in. he still likes the shoe but theres no protection anymore. he'll buy more cus the full impact g2 helped him.
i have the black and white accelerates. its alright i guess. my favorite shoe. the protection is ok. i dont get heel bruises which is good. the shoe is awesome. lacing it like footballs make it look ugly.
clear soles are terrible, they look so weak and bad, the accelerates look sweet in the other colours though
Sean can say what he likes. We are down to hear the good and the bad. The Accel will never leave the line. In fact we improved the toe box and the mold so it's going to be even better. Cale loves the Accelerate to. We just got lunch and he was wearing them and talking about how good they are. He also blows them out mad quick but then again the dude is dropping off mad high shit.
We got some new goodies in the mix coming out that will get you stoked...don't you worry. We are shaking shit up here at éS. I just grabbed a pair of accelerates cause I never skated them yet so I'll let you know what I think...even though I can only do 9 tricks...hahahaha. Man I'm old.
Ok back to biz. Some of you aren't feeling the clear soles huh? Is it just pure looks or did you try them out
ok I think the clear soles are alright I'd sport 'em I want 'em bad though. the ones pj wears in th Ad are cool I think I'll get those ones.And the disighners are sick the tech shoes are cool they don't make them look all spaced out, so its cool. They should get some full impact G2 but the shoes should be light and have the heel crach pad like the Contracts' and don't rip like EK-01s' . And still look preety cool Oh and 4 sure they have to say eS on the Tounge.
the blue sole isnt bad id wear them for sure. right now my friend has the brown and white accelerates and he loves em but i got my eye on the accel plus because i can get them cheaper and whats not to like? accel + g2 + strap = the money. but i know i will eventually get some accelerates too. im ridin the contracts right now and they are good cause their light and have good flick.
You guys put an ankle strap on the accelerate and you will have the perfect shoe, eS Accelerate brown/tan are probably my next shoes.
The accelerate's are butter, and of course they are gonna blow out fast if you skate at least five hours a day everyday.es keep doing what your doing..because you guys are true to the game and don't have bikers or snow boarders on your team.
I need to get some accelerates. The all black ones look smooth.
yeah i got the accelerates, there a hella sick shoe, the only reason i didnt like em is cuz i dont look good in black an white shoes. the brown and clear blue ones are sick
I've got the accel plus now. They're so rad to skate it. I really like the heel stabaliser, it feels like you have so much more balance with in. The only problem is the nose wears down pretty quick where it flips the board.
!!! IF POSSIBLE you guys at es have to put some hard plastic on the nose of the accels. I love EVERYTHING about the shoe expect that the ollie area wears out quick. Look at the material they use on the nose of the Adio kenny andersons v1. Put that same plastic on the nose of the accel plus and it is literally the most perfect skate shoe ever invented. PLEASE!
I havent skated mine yet, theyre just my chiller shoes for now. I skate in accels of course. cant skate in anything else. believe me ive tried..
I just bought the Accelerate last weekend, and these shoes made more of a difference than any shoe I have ever worn. I was just trying to get used to the shoes with some flip tricks and I landed a switch varial heel, I had been trying the trick for a while with the accel plus, but I could never even set it down. Also, I was skating at this gap called Hilton and it is like 6 feet tall but not very long at all. I kicked out when I went to ollie it first try but when I fell on the groud my feet did not feel shit, then I landed it next try and kick fliped that son of a bitch.
I love the accelerates but make more colors for them and never stop making accels
really good shoe keep it coming!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the K6s are a good shoe. Im waiting for Es to come up with something new. Until then peace out!
dude, ES is seriously the BEST shoe company for skateboarding. Most of their shoes are tech designed and built for endurance. The Accel Series is by far the best skate shoe I have ever used. Everytime I get new shoes for skating, which is about every 2 months, I buy accels. Yet I've only used the Black/Gum color, and the tan/gold color. I've had the Black/Red Accel plus, and many other accels. I'm looking forward to trying out the new Accelerates. the brown and whites are so freakin sick! Can't wait to try those out! the blue gum color is awesome. it's unique, unlike all the other boring shoe companies out there, like Fallen and Circa. BOO!!! Up with ES! Ese!
by the way.... sean, youre a dumbasse!
anyone seen the maccels on the other link they look different, and the standards on the same link are pretty rad, who is this craig guy who has lunch with nuske? can i get in on that?ill pay if we go to taco bell
Craig is the éS brand manager. And a super slick artist to boot.
the accelerates shoes are ok but éS needs to make them in more colors and different éS sign and they need to make some like the accelplus.
ok. éS you need to put the new System G2™ Full Impact™ heel to toe protection in the accelplus and you sould make black and red Leather accelplus....................
Thanks Josh for the love...you get a high five. We just finished picking some new colors for the Accelerates that come out in Spring 06. I'll see if I can sneek a pic of one on here. Cale picked up a pair of Standards yesterday and he's feeling them. I think he should stick to the Accelerate cause that dude jumps down some big shit. He's here for 3 months so I'm sure there will be some heavy shit going down. We might have to have a Blog Coloring contest or some thing. I'm thinking the crew that comes here and lurks gets to design a color and we call it the "Blog". Oh so epic.
im feelin the black and blue one. ive got them now and nothin but good things. the only bad thing is that my dog apperently like them also, so he decides to chew on them.
yo. i think es should make the new eccelarates all white.now that will be hella tight
im rockin the black and whites...hotness. bruised the ball of my toe a while back and have been limpin and these shoes not only stopped me from limping but let me skate again. my pediatrist was stoked. no joke.
Sean, ,im sorry for callin you a fool as long as we all have mad love for éS its all good.
king of bling such my wang u dumbass bitch i could never skate a nother shoe than accels that why i have liek 10 i havent worn in my room n case sum shit happens and i never can get another pair.
maby like ur mom eats them or suminn who know?
I think the accelerates are mad good for skating--there the best shoes I've ever skated in...these are the one shoes you guys really wanna get.
k i will go get soem tommarow
dutch skater sucks, bro your turning this thing into the message board like emerica has. all those people just hate on each other and shit
yeah hating is heinous
i know man wer talking about accelerates not emericas
i have a pair of accels i have been wearing for about 6 months now and im probably going to buy a pair of accelerates or another pair of accels. they are the best shoe in the biz!
the shop I got to out here doesn't have the accelerate yet because there're late gettin them in but I'm gonna get me a pair when they get here, I want the brown tan and white ones those look so tight
i have the black and white ones, they lasted me a good while i havent had a problem with the g2, its worked wonderfully, in fact so good that i just bought another pair of them and their on the way i got em in black and blue because i like the idea of the clear sole, being able to actually see what protects your feat is fucking sick
I just laced up my pair of blue blacks and I didn't realize how much a difference the gel makes...seriously...and I FUCKING WORK HERE. At first I thought oh these are a bit heavy but you don't even notice it once you start skating. Eric started working on some new shoes and he's running the similar set up into his next kicks....craze
Oh and there is an all white accelerate coming out this Holiday by the way. PJ was skating them last. That dude skate shoes until they completely fall apart...he's "keepin' it skate".
We just got the Accelerate in Toronto... I haven't got a pair yet, saving up, but I got a pair of Accels right now, can't wait to try a pair!
Can't wait to see some new acce/accel plus colourways!!!
The Accelerate's felt nice in the shop, but I haven't had a chance to actually skate in them. eS, I hope the Accels never go away.
I'm feeling this whole blog thing, seems like our opinion might actually matter.
By the way Craig, aren't those clear soles supposed to last longer? That's what DC claimed with theirs on the Mantecas a while back.
I actually like the clear sole, it's something different, but I hear that they become yellow quickly.
cock and balls
I have the black/blues and they are really good. I killed my heels skating in the Reynolds 3s and the accelerates have helped my feet heal. I just hope the full impact doesn't die as quick as normal g2.
NICK SHAW DID WROTE ThAT^^
The flick is gone on mine, i just got them 4 days ago
There were good for 40 dollers though
Where did you get them for 40 dollars?

I'm anticipation the pj shoe. Get those out as soon as you can guys!
they are out spring 06
I heard the pj shoe might be ugly because of what pj saying it was going to have an athletic look to it I think, my friend told me this, but I know for sure they'll be very good skate shoes considering all the accel series success.
is this colorway synthetic?
this colorway
http://esfootwear.com/footwear/accelerate/black-darkgrey-gum.jpg
Yes it is.
Brendan- I don't think the clear sole lasts any longer than a gum sole. We have been running all sorts of test on them and it seems to be the same.The sole does discolor but not horrible to the point where you like, "fuck this shoe is ugly". We are doing tests now to make sure the clear soles don't change color. All soles get dirty and turn colors eventually. You gotta watch what DC says. Those dudes are the kings of claiming shit, We actually have been running test on their kicks and a lot of the shit they say isn't all that they are claiming. In the end it's up to you dudes to call people out.
PJ's first shoe is pretty awesome. It's real clean and looks banging. We've even started on his second shoe. I'll see if PJ wants to talk on here...he likes to keep a low profile though as I'm sure you all know
GET PJ ON
i think i might get the accelerates if they had different colors, try a color scheme with black overall and then colored ES and colored gumm like A blak/red/red
almost every poser at my school has these
Hey Ryan. Did you see the Black/Grey/Gum colorway?
http://esfootwear.com/footwear/accelerate/black-darkgrey-gum.jpg
to bad they tear easier than any shoe i have ever skated.......
but i love the g2 full impact. :)
awesome, i think i'll get these after my accels are done (which may be a while)
the accel are great but i'm obligate to buy a new pair a month cause the sole is always fucking scrap. Please stop trying to find new colorway and just put a better sole. Think quality first
Billy Bob- We are in the process of developing longer lasting soles that still grip and allow you to have the board feel.
That sucks they tear for you quickly Eric L. We could put rubber toe caps on but those suck...no board feel, to slippery etc etc. If you are ripping them fast try putting crazy glue on just the stitches. Before I started working at éS I use to do that to my shoes and it made them last longer. You can also use shoe goo but that shit makes your shoes all jacked looking
i dnt care wot u ppl say i recon ther fit man ther like the most up2date technology is sk8 boarding and thr just gud lukin it cud use a strap like but ther still prety sweet, by the way the es teem r like one of the best teems iv seen, tom penny has an awsom style and nyjah huston is a sk8in killer he kills spots him.
yeah i have the accelerates in brown and tan one of the best shoes i ever skated! the g2 full impact... words can't describe good it fells, add an ankle strap and it will be perfect!!you guys should come up with better colors
yo craig.... the blue soles lose grip kinda quick on them accelerates... maybe cos its not gum... im yet to try out the other coloways... bu8t i would like to say that an improved version of the accel with g2 or whatever without a strap would be great. its just right...but evenm better would be ciceros or breaker mid/lo with the g2 in them... that would be Fantabulous! please bring them out...then i wouldnt have to buy any other skate shoes! also improve the colorways please! keep em simple..like light grey suede... mmmmmm schweeet!
The accelerate look pretty sick and if they are even half as good as the accels then i'm going to get them
yes i did Josh P
craig whats the difference between the k6 and the 6.5 other than them being mids. i was lookin at picking up some k6s some time so id like to see whats different.
dude i kept hurting my feet super bad wich is wierd for a 12 year old and i already have screwed up knees so when i heard about this shoe i bagged my brand new gay emerica ellingtons that hurt my feet and the day my skate shop got them in they were mine now i do higher stuff and it does make a HUGE HUGE difference and it has good board feel
please come out with solid colors for the accelerate,
and put the hidden lace loops under every eyelet instead of just the bottom two
one word.....heavenly
I resent that rubber toe cap remark, haha. The Reynolds 1's are still the best shoe I have ever skated in my life.
I have a pair of the black/blue are theyre sweet no problem at all i like them a lot im also getting a pair of t he brown/tan/white they look nice too =)..no problem with the colorways i think they are perfect the black blue and the brown white. The blue sole is_the best part!
I have a pair of the accelerate and accel plus I like the feel and cushioning way better in the accelerates though. I think that eS should put and ankle strap on the accelerate. It would just complete the shoe. also why is it so hard to find the white/red colorway accelerate?
The accelerates PJ's wearin on the wallpaper is mad bangin! Keep up the good kicks, k?
well, i got the accelerate the day it went out here in holland, it's kinda like the accel but just way more advanced, u guys at éS must keep the accel in! accel are selling great in holland tho. but i like the accelerate, i have the ones pj is wearing.. i think he likes them, cuz in the demo capitals tour holland(sucked tho) he was wearing the eos
Make Them In black suede with a gum sole, I got the Accels in that colorway and I would buy the accelerates in that colorway
Can I get some confirmation on that synthetic accelerate question that rasalibre4life asked? [not to diss Josh P, but I'm not sure who you are and if you'd know that info for certain]
http://esfootwear.com/footwear/accelerate/black-darkgrey-gum.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://esfootwear.com/footwear/accelerate/black-darkgrey-gum.jpg>
and while we're at it, what about these jonks:
http://www.esfootwear.com/footwear/accelplus/black-gum.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.esfootwear.com/footwear/accelplus/black-gum.jpg>
I'd be friggin thrilled if these are synthetic, but at the same time: shoe companies need to get with the program and stop making their only synthetic colorways all black. There's no reason why you can't make an all synthetic shoe that is just as stylish as a leather/suede model. Look at Fallen for proof.
Dude, this is really the best shoe i have ever ever have had. After all this time they came out with a shoe that rules now I can jump of huge stairs and ledges THANK YOU ES!
I'm thinking of getting these bitches. They look mad steezy. The full foot G2 is a plus also. Looks like an over all awsome shoe.
Mr. Tips, both those shoes are synthetic. The little red speach bubble to the left of my name means I know what I'm talking about. Well this time at least.
Also Internet Explorer will screw up the red bubble deal. Get firefox.
i agree with what mr. tips said
more synthetic colorways, please
g2 in the heel alone is all you need, but this is probally way better. i bet it makes skating big stuff like skating small stuff and skating small stuff like skating flatground and skating flat ground like skating on pillows, and skating on pillow like, well nobody skates on pillows.
hey rasalibre4life, this was reynolds_11 on the EMB. That board sucks ass
oh, and Craig, try to post some pics please! i want to see this stuff that you talk about. It all sounds kick ass.
Mojo- You are right about the clear soles getting a bit slippery but we only noticed it being slippery on super smooth concrete..kind of like the concrete at the Etnies skate park. On regular asphalt it held up good but of course it's not as good as traditional gum. We are making some new ones with just parts of it clear so it can remain grippy. The other Accelerate models are pretty grippy though. Bobby Worrest has been running the blue clear ones and PJ was running the all white ones for a minute. Most of the dudes have been rocking the black white ones. We finalized some new colors for 06 and I think 06 is the year we start snapping necks in the skate shoe world.
Clay- The k6.5 is just a mid top with a thinner tongue and some nicer leather. Eric wanted a mid/high top shoe for a bit more support and of course style. The difference is in the styling. Eric wanted you dudes to have options. If I'm not to busy today I'll take some pics and put them up for you to check. We are still working on some minor details but so far they are banging.
Synthetics- We are working on more synthetics or at least offering one synthetic in each shoe. Most synthetics look like shit though. Not to talk shit but Fallen kicks look mad budget and they are so basic. We've tried numerous synth' colors but they just come off looking super cheap and they don't last long. We'll get it dialed though. 06 is our year fellas' and the colors/materials we are making are amazing..you'll be stoked.
hey craig put full hidden lace loops on accels(instead of just the bottom 2) in '06 if the shoes are gonna be so good
dutch skater is gay and a stupid ass mother fucker ass bitch yea thets right bitch
Can't wait til '06.
Y?
Suncerly, i would like to have a real conversation once in a blue moon. I know your all so fuckin funny man, now listen up !! if you think your doing me some kinda faver our something by liveing such amazeing lifes.Do me this faveour, and try harder on finding out what you relly miss, thats so fucked up for some dude that really is liveing in sercomstances, and bearlly getts by with out you!!! its sooooooooo fffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkeeeeedddddddddd uuuuuuuuuuppppp of you all
are the koston 6.5's the shoe koston is rocking in the March 2005 of transworld? in the story about the girl and chocolate tour
Thanks Josh. Figured that red bubble meant something.
Craig, I'm not sure what your definition of "mad budget" is exactly. I've only skated the Rivals (2 pairs), but those things have been some of the best shoes I've ever had (which I never thought I'd say about a shoe coming through DC). I started taking a towel with me when I wore the brown/chocolate pair, since there would always end up being kids drooling over them. I'm anxious for the new Fallen lineup because I know Jamie is going to offer me more than another computer help-desk steez colorway to skate and chill in.
So yeah, it's great that éS has more synthetics planned. And if you think that what you've got planned beats what else is out there, then that's all the better. But you've got to come correct with some real colorways this time. Don't take that as a diss, either. Take it as a challenge.
Tips- All good. "Mad budget" refers to the cheap materials, the budget look and the crappy feel and the blown out last (foot shape). I hate talking shit and I try not to but them shits are just direct bites off of other tried and true skate shoes but lack the quality. Jamie is awesome and the shit he does is awesome. I'm just saying the shoes are junk and bring nothing new to the table. It's all good and I can care less what the others are doing out there. The colors/fabrics will be amazing for 06..you'll see. I just got here and the shit we are running for the new kits are going to crush heads...believe that.
Hey Jake- The shoes Koston is running are actually the k7s in that issue.
Full hidden lace loops?...Is this some thing you are all into?
yes
you already put the hidden loops on the bottom two eyelets of the accels it cant be that hard to put them under every eyelet !PLEASE!
bring back white suede accels please!!!
synthetic shoes are full blown gay, don't bother...kill more cows
i want accelerates bad! do they have rubber under neath the toe like the accels do? i think you should put cushion inside the shoes infront of the toe cuz when i skate my toe smashes against the tip of the shoes and it hurts alot!
dO WE EVER GET TO SEE THE KOSTON FOOTY IN HIS SECRET WHEARHOUSE
accelarates in black/gum are cool but all the other colorways are ugly
i saket any koston shoe holla
Wouter- No filming goes down at the warehouse but www.skatefairy.com might still have a clip from the early days when MJ, Eric and some others shredded it up. They just built some new obstacles that are straight up amazing and so much fun. Berra is part owner of the place and I know DVS has been shooting photos there for a catalog so you might be able to see some flicks from it soon-
Full lace protectors are always a nice option to have, thought most of the time I don't use them. But hell, throw them in there, what can it hurt?
can u guys get some pics from the 06 line up in the blogs
u should see about putting Tom on es apparel and get some penny steez out there
about synthetic shoes looking bad, all i have to say is rowley. every single one of his shoes have been 100% synthetic in every colorway, and they have been some of the most poular shoes out there. i really don't care tht they don't last long by themselves 'cause when you put some super glue on them at the high-wear areas, and it seriously lasts forever. i'm all good as long as you've got some synthetic colorways on the line, you guys are doing a lot better than most shoe companies are
the Accelerates are one of the best eS' shoes goin around while you people are going on about how crap they are and stuff like that why dont you shut up and actually try them before you say shit! people like that piss me off it just like when people go on about how shit a board is but they have never skated that board or that brand of board. all eS' shoes are good especially the Accelerates oh and PJ Ladd is sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Accelerates are definitly a tight shoe...without a doubt. I really like the new insoles and the full gel part in the sole...no hurt feet after skating long hours...like in a pair of blown out Accels...Don't get me wrong, I'm not knockin' the Accels, they 're my fav sk8 shoe until now since they got competition from the Accelerate. Anyway, for eS...you guys keep up the excellent work making great products, and for the team, you guys are inspiring and I think the best in skateboarding ...TONS of talent...can't wait fot the new vid!!!!!! Go Skateboarding!!!!! Peace!
i skate the brown and white accelerates and they are the best shoe iv ever skated! im gonna get the black and white ones next.
i got the black and white ones a
week ago.their fucked up now,but they were VICIOUS.they have sooo much control.
me personally i prefer the ek5 and the ek 1 even tho u guys dont make the k5 anymore :'( but you cramer shoe looks awsome cant wait till my local sk8 shop gets it in (4seasons madison)
i got black/clear blue accelerates...the full system g2 is nice....SHOP DWELLERS
im skatin the brown.gum accels right now but there gettin chopped. im thinkin about gettin the white.red accelerates for the gel shit but those white.purple.gold accels are callin me. i dunno tho.
both if i got the scrilla
these shoes are poo on a stick the heel protection does fuck all and the blue sole looks like it would glow in the dark plus when you where them it feels all crap like u've got water in your shoe. p.s the spare pair of laces are a shit color
if e's keeps on making tech shoes no one is gonna skate them but the acells are the best shoe the old designs are better
ALEX IS A POSER FAG hey alex wtf do u sk8 etnies callicut WTF YOUR GAY EVERYONE KNOWS eS is THE BEST BITCHHH GO FU>CK OFF YOU WHORE
u r a stupid moron who doesn't know fuck all if u looked at what i said u might realise that i never said es shoes where shit so ur the gay poser fag not me and if u must know i sk8 white accels which are better than accel plus and accelerate and a pair of white es rovers so why don't u fuck off and get the balls to post ur name faggit
hey skate dont hate dudes................. i give hella props to rasa and craig an josh p cauz those guys arent yeah. sick dudes!
take the g2 out and make better colorways
accelerates are great shoes, they've got more support so my arches don't kill me after a while. I'll definitely be picking up another pair. accels are all I skate nowadays.
isn't there another accel based shoe called the maccel that's coming out pretty soon, too?
i just got the blak/white accelerates and they r amazingly comfy and flexible also good board feel only flaw is that the white is leather instead of suede i would rather all suede but thats just me i give it an "A"
i always wore the Accels, any McCranks and, of course any Kostons
Koston, your next shoe better skate like these. They are swag man.
Ive seen Sam Winters skating those shoes. Hes on Es flow right.
im kinda pissed ive owned a paird of accelerates for a while now theyre great shoes so i ordered another pair, well its week 3 and my shit isnt here im just gonna cancel the order and get a new deck
make the accelerates black suede gum or something like that synthetic is bad.
Some guy about three years ago was wearing the accelerate shoe with the crystal gum thing. I told him if the shoe was new and he told me that, that shoe wont come out to bussinnes. He is a liar, hooo by the way he works at the STI. He was at the Vans Skatepark some where in Santa Ana or Orange, I dont know!
i think 'eS shoes should make some more light weight shoes. More like the accel.
i havent skated the shoes yet, but they do look amazing, i bet skatin them is like butter.... full gel sounds real good too.... cause i remember when i had the normal accels i got MAD heel bruses like the first day.... thats the only beef i had with them... but ya, good colours too
ya i like them i have a pare of them i think they should not have the es on the side but there soo good to skate.
yea guys i was so phsyched about the g2 in these cause you guys ('es) make it sound awesome but wen i got em it really didnt make a difference invent somethin new
hey is this shoe synthetic or leather?
http://www.esfootwear.com/footwear/accelerate/black-darkgrey-gum.jpg
cuz thats like the only accelerate with gum and synthetic is gay but if i had a choice weter or not to kill a cow id say dont
synthetic, leather is for fags
yea its synthetic
Synthetic sucks and looks like crap make them in black suede with gum sole please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WHEN DO NEW COLORWAYS OF THE ACCELERATE COME OUT????????????????
i own accels and accelerats and bin sk8in em both they both have sum rele gd points, accelerates feel a little strange when u first sk8 em coz they dnt have much board feel but once u sk8 em 4 a while they r rele nice especialy when sk8in big drops or stairs. the accels are also great coz they r more raw and have more feel 2 em they r the best shoes ive ever sk8ed and es should never stop making em the reason i like em more athn the rates is coz you can actually feel the board and they just feel right when u r sk8in in em nothing is an effort.
dude seriously, when are you guys coming out with new colorways for the accelerates? most of these colors are sick like the brown tan, white red and blue black but there soles suck.i tried to ollie over this curb grass curb flat gap thing with the black and white ones and if slammed hella hard cuz the board came off my feet. make some with the gum sole that isnt synthetic cuz synthetic rips too fast
fuck synthetic, fuck leather , 'Es make all of your shoes suede
Yes! You need to make full lace protection! I must know at least 10 people around here that will only buy a pair of shoes if they have lace protection.
All the shoes I have ever worn have been leather, and one pair of Nubuck. Now my friends tell me that suede sucks, but it sounds like everyone likes it.. what do you és guys say?
ALL WHITE IS SWEET
Justin sued seriously sucks huge wang
dude suede is the best seriously its so much more comfortable and soft and everything like that the one thing leather has that suede doesnt is it lasting just a little bit longer
yeah and black suede turns blue so thats hells sick
i like leather, but ive never had a seuade shoe in 5 years, so i wouldnt have a good judgement.
I can't belive this shoe is on the BLOG!
this is the shoe that i'm getting next!
But the colour combo I want aren't on any websit 2 buy!
can U plz fix that?
Jason, what color are you looking for? It's probably a color that comes out in June.
I think the clear sole looks bad ass. Sorry, I'm a little late, but I had to say that in defense of this colorway.
Is tan/gum coming in june? Dude I just made fucking beef stir-fry! With juicy bell peppers and ireland green color broccoli! Also, a hint of time, which perks up the flavor of the U.S.D.A. Grade A Beef. It's a good thing.And to top it all off, I'm twelve so i can look forward to having a future as a guest on Emeril Live. Or on his evil twin brother's show, Let's Make Emeril not Live, A.K.A. Kill Emeril's Little Lessons(KELL).
nevrmind G2 makes a big diff in skating its a keeper
Tan/gum comes out in June.
I work in one skateshop and they came out two weeks ago...I taken them in a while and now i have them on my feet..soooo comfortable !
i just got some brown accelerates and they are sweeeeeet!
the g2 is really nice. i fid them hard to heelflip in though
Doh! Forgot about the April shoes. What else came out.... Lakers color K6's! And some other junk I can't remember off the top of my head.
i just got these in the pj colors their fucking sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet
I am probably about to get some brown/tan ones, that or some black/white ones. One question though - are you guys coming out with an all black suede/gum colorway anytime shoe?
how much is it ?
when do those all brown accelerates come out?!?!?!?! i MUST have them!!!
and whats the word on the maccel, it looks tight, any info on colorways, price, or when its coming out?
The Maccel comes out in June. Colorways are: Black/Dark Grey/Gum, Black/Orange/White, Navy/Grey and Brown/Tan.
When is the Accel Plus going to get the STI Foamâ„¢ Level 2 footbed cushioning system like the Accelerate, or is that just a fancy name for what's already in there?
The Accel Plus has the STI Foam footbed. Most of the new colorways should have it.
i think the accelerates are cool but they havnt got enuf board feel with the g2 gel and the sti foam....... the new accels with the sti foam and the g2 gel are cool but they feel loads nicer just with a normal accel insole in them more board feel but with a cusion so it stops heel bruise...... but the accelerates have notheing on the accels...
they r one of the best looking és shoes ever
