K7 Is So Banging!

Friday, May 6, 2005 · craig

K7
Dudes, we are dropping these kicks any day at your local shop. There are four colors (only showing three for now). Our favorite is the Black / Red ones with the elephant skin toe and heel. (No, not real elephant skin.) Wait until you guys skate in these! They’re my new favorites, fo’ sure.

They kinda look like girl’s Phat Farm shoes. They’re decent. They’ll be around for a while, way better than the shitty K6’s. It may even be up in K1 or K3 levels. All I can say is, you need more/better colorways.

DVS?…like whoa. These are the first set of colors we are releasing besides the black red ones which we didn’t post yet. They look good in person and fit really good. As for the PJ that shit is on some top secret level. He’s been skating some samples. We have to make some changes but the PJ shoe is looking dope…clean and 100% skate.

The k1 was my fav but I think the K7 is my new fav. Like I said a while ago I’ve also been running the k6 high which I need to post up here soon.

Why do you guys hate the K6?

definitely not as puffy in fact we even slimmed the K6 down a bit. The shoe has got G2 in it as well as the STI Foam footbed. Funny you mention the G202 stuff cause we got some things in the works with that as well some other goodies.

The G2 stuff does make a difference right…

Yeah, why does koston releases shoes out so damn fast? Does he have that little to do? Design shoes… go watch lakers game.. drink a few beers with atiba… design upcoming shoes … go skate and film for chomp on this 2 … *sighs*

eS should stop relying on the name of the pro and more on elite designs like the Accels , make even better Accels , stop making all the other crap and just make ACCELS!! make so many that you have to liquidate your stock and end up selling them for 3$ a piece on the street to pay ur rent

Koston enjoys making shoes and he wants to make new shit for y’all to enjoy. Koston is a sneaker head so he takes pride in making stuff…between drinking beers with tibz’ and shooting flicks (hahaha). The accel is the best skate shoe ever made..you are right Caraquet but we gotta keep things moving and strive to make the next shit. It’s all about progression. “Sleep is the cousin of death”.

We ain’t gonna drop pro models cause those dudes are our inspiration as well as the love of skateboarding…beli’ dat dun-dun, holla-

i think they are cool!i’d buy them if they don’t cost that much!koston said in an interview that he wanted to make a shoe (k6) that wasn’t that expensive,while here in belgium you still pay like 100€ (=115$) for them!
willyou release the all pink ones? or glow in the dark? shit would be tight!

craig says:

5/7/05 at 01:11

like whoa…there’s some serious venom being spit here and there and that’s cool that’s why built this site so you can speak your mind…ok down to biz-

Yates- I was totally listening to Nas when I was writing that post. His early stuff is so good. The rest of the colors drop in June and then in Holiday. The best color is the red black ones but I’ll wait to post that one and the Pink ones are pretty sick (the same ones he wore at that Game of Skate).

k7s come out in June (that’s a month a way). Izze-we know about the shoe prices out in Europe and we know it can get pricey we are trying to figure out a solution but that stuff takes time.

The heel bruise Koston got wearing the k7s were a sample pair with out the gel inserts. After that he made sure that there was a gel insert in the heel…gnarly.

As far as the K7 coming out before Pjs shoe..well..Pj wanted to make sure he got some thing he liked. PJ is new to the shoe game so it takes a little longer. His shoe will be out next year. As far the G2 stuff goes it does make a difference when you are jumping down some big shit. I personally skate low stuff and flat so I don’t notice it.

Tyler-PJ 4 is in the works…nah I’m joking. We need to get the 1 out before we start talking 4 but I can tell you we are working on the 2.

Designing shoes takes a long time.

Double E- Koston is working on some simpler designs. The k6 was suppose to be the ultimate…simple and not as expensive.

McCranks shoe comes out this holiday for all you McCrank fans

lmfao…is that the real Paul Rodriguez!?!?…haha…

the K7’s look better than the K6’s…I’ll buy those…if not I’ll rebuy the PJ Ladd Khaki colourway AccelPlus’ again…hehe…i love this shoe…haven’t used them for skating yet, tried a few tricks with em last nite and they just felt perfect. Fun to know that it’s the only AccelPlus with the G2 Full impact…right? correct me if I’m wrong though, just guessin cos my friends regular AccelPlus only has the G2 Heel.

Do the K7’s have the Flo2 Tongue?

Oh and about PJ Ladd’s first pro model…They should just make the PJ Ladd shoe exactly as the current PJ Ladd Khaki AccelPlus’s and on the Flo2 Tongue on top of the current G2 full impact and STI lvl Foambed inside. Then just remove the “B” and put Ladd’s signature outside cos hell the signature printed on the insole wears off fast and that sucks…Now that is the perfect Ladd shoe in my opinion…

Damn, those all look sick as hell. I honestly like all 3 of them. Is it just me, or do they look kinda high around the heel? Whatever, I know I’m gonna buy the white the moment my shop has it. I’ve had 3 pairs of K6’s (the best skate shoe I’ve ever owned), and I’m looking forward to having 500 pairs of these.

Oh and to all the kids who are pissing their pants in anticipation of Ladd’s shoe, do yourself a favor and completely forget it about until its out. It will be more satisfying when you see it for the first time. Hype does kill things you know…

I like the kostons 6s ive only had 2 pair but i thought they were sick, i like them to be puffy. Koston does release shoes too close together. It is a good idea to lay off releaseing pro model shoes for a second, i know Sparkles has got a huge bill to pay off for his caddy collection and his house but i would just re release the koston 3s before releasing the 7s kids love the 3s. Nas shit gets better with time, he put Jay-z into retirement

6.5s are coming out but it’s in Spring 2006..yikes. We used really nice leather so it might be more loot.

As for the YéS video it’s suppose to come in December but you know how skate videos go. The dudes are out there filming as I write this.

There are posts about the video on this site so you can revisit them.

K7…Style for days! The black/red/elephant skin is such a unique and appropriate colorway for this shoe. They almost remind me of the style of some Original air jordans from way back. Less puff is definetly a plus and I’m on Craigs side with his opinion on this being Koston’s greatest design (except maybe the K3)…Let’s just hope they skate as good as they look.

P.S.- So Hot- ACCELERATES…the accel times 10 with the G2 system full impact!
So Not- P.J. Accel shoe…the nubuck shit dose not belong on the accel!
Anyone Agree?

How come Koston always has 1 good shoe and then a couple of bad ones then ANOTHER good shoe and then a couple more bad ones?!? and the process repeats.

If you don’t like the g2 buy a shoe that doesn’t have it..how easy is that? It’s almost magic, right?

As for the Game of Skate in Canada I’m not sure on that schedule. I know they are doing them up there and I think the winner gets a chance to compete in the big Am game and the winner from that versus the pros. Last year the Am dude that won made it to the final 6…pretty gnarly.

As for Portland I don’t see it on the schedule on my desk. Ask your shop to get one going. They just need to contact us and we can look into doing it. The problem is time and man power.

Nubuck sucks?…That shit looks mad good on a shoe. Again, if you hate it don’t buy it.

After I’m done shredding the red curbs with the shoe dudes today I’ll go over and get a pic of the 6.5 so you can see it. We are still making some changes to it so it might not be the finished one.

How many of you think skulls are played out in skateboarding? If I see one more skull graphic I’m going to loose my shit.

speaking of skulls, I heard the new Zero vid is a rail killer. I loved Dying To Live though. It was like every single one of them did SOMEthing amazing for their part.

the problem with buying a shoe without g2 is that every new shoe that comes out has it

man, i was thinkin of colorways for some of eS’ shit. they beat me to this color combo

need not worry, i’ll be thinkin up some more shit.
that’d be hot if eS had a custom eS type thing.
do your own colorways n order em.

etnies? I’m not sure if I heard of Etnies. Oh wait, I did hear of them. Arto wanted to explore his options so he walked on over to etnies. Arto rips…his part in Menikimati is so awesome. Penny Shoes gay?…mmm I don’t think they are gay..they are mad tough looking especially the all white one and the red black one is banging. I run some custom canvas suede joints…only 5 pairs made…hollla!

Ok, I went over to the shoe building and of course forgot my camera. I’ll put some thing up tomorrow.

The K7’s are sweet but not as cool as the new green/black/white accelerates. Accelerates are the collest shoes made they just need some lace protection.

5/10/05 at 06:21

what would it take for eS to get that custom thing goin on for the public? i imagine it takes a hella lotta work lol that’d be real hot tho. i’d get on that like no other. i got like 6 colorways for the accel plus i wish were out

nubuck is cool! i was at my local shop and i felt the pj, and it felt cool it just doesnt look like it would be good. but it looks cool. but doesnt it like rip really fast?

gravatar of eS blog commenter, craig

craig says:

Truehead- We are working on bringing some of special one off color ways to a few shops. Some shops make their own colors like Active, Fast Forward etc (when shops do that there are only like 300 pairs or so). We got some cool things in the works. We like the crazy stuff but some times it’s to crazy but you’ll see some good stuff coming out soon.

Marc- The nubuck doesn’t rip any faster than suede or leather. The cool thing about the pj colors is that when they start to wear out it doesn’t look that bad. I rocked mine for a bit before I skated in them cause I wanted to keep them fresh for a bit before I started skating in them.

Jason-Wait to you see the other color ways we are working on for Accelerate…so banging..subtle and dope

that would be sick designing your own colorways? i really really really like the black green and white accelerates thats for damn sure you guys did a great job with that shoe keep it comin’ its about time i ordered a new paor i was thinkin bout the tx’s in black and white (my accelerates are shredded to hell) what do you guys at es think?

gravatar of eS blog commenter, Josh L

Josh L says:

5/11/05 at 09:50

ya i like em. they look a lot stronger than the dam k6’s. i might buy them if they last like the accels. its crazy that koston keeps getting new models out all the time.

gravatar of eS blog commenter, craig

craig says:

5/11/05 at 10:17

It is crazy but it keeps thing interesting besides Koston can run shit like that.

James the Rodrigos are tough as hell with those lace loops and shit. If you haven’t tried them they are worth trying for sure. The black white is a sick color. I’m kind of feeling the black red white ones just because it looks different. I haven’t skated in the TX but I know dudes here that skate in them all the time.

those kostons are pretty dope. sike. maybe its just the colors.. you guys make the colors so techy sometimes.. but sometimes you guys do it good. like all the EK01 colorways are really nice. and the accel plus’s are cool. koston makes the best shoes ever, in my opinion. keep it up koston your the shit!

well thanks for the advice craig im going to put in my order today, ive been wanting to try a new shoe for a while now i really like the accelerate, which is what im skating now, but its so heavy, i want to try something stronger too, and if the rodrigo is as strong as i think it is i think itll be the perfect shoe for me

for the P.J shoe and when it comes out in some mag paste it in here.
i think that is a good idea

well éS shoes are made in china (at least my TX’s and EK-01’s are) so isn’t it possible that those are the real K7’s? Those are probably just the prototypes that got made and some dude took pictures. They’re not really released there.

Man those K7′a look awsome. Hope they aren’t to expensive. Sucks about the k6.5’s coming out next spring, by that time the k8’s will proble be out. Also people need to stop bitching about the PJ1’s., just wait till they come out.

do the k7s have a full length internal eva midsole? must have cz the heel g2 bt i only skate shoes that have that like the accels and etc. i just bought txs and theyre really stiff i gotta break them in but i regret it lol i shouldve gotten another pair of accels since i like the feel the midsole isnt as thick and doesnt take long to break in with all the good padding in the right areas except i think the heelflip area and its nice and squishy cz the eva midsole
