I like both of those shoes. Would I skate in them? Probably not. But not every shoe has to be for skating.

Yeah I guess so Josh, but I guess I can’t see anybody skating those, and I though you guys aimed for this shoe to be skated in instead of just a chill shoe. But I guess I’m wrong, maybe they skate good, you should review them for us Josh…

The Standards look great - they remind me of the MJ-3s. I am definitely getting a pair of the new Black Suede/Gum Accel Pluses, and some of those Black/Green/White Accelerates - those are some nice shoes.

As always there’s some amazing skate shoes in there, the new accelaerate colorways look sick. Three problems though, Maccel, why d’ya need a bad version of the accel when you already have 3 good ones. Rideaway, looks like a moon boot, and Murray, who designed it? it’s terrible Reebok tax.

Yeah, somebody just copid the feautres from the accel and accidently put them on the other pages - I’m pretty sure that the Accelerates still have Full Impact G2

What up dudes, been a while right?

Ok, Accel Plus does have the g2 heel and the accelerates have the full impact g2 system. If it doesn’t say it on the site some one forgot to write it in (hint to those who work here). The standard is a dope looking basic shoe..we figured we could make a simple shoe even better and we did. Cale skated in them and liked them.

Benny- We got some K7 lakers colors coming out so hang in there.

I just got one of Kostons old set ups. I’m going to see if he will sign it and maybe we can do a blog giveaway or some shit like that.

wow u guys really screwed up the accels with those new colorways, soo ugly, and those maccel just a tech. version of accels, looks wicked ugly, the retarded brother of the accels, the only good looking colorways i must say are the Penny 2s cuz he knows what stlye, nothing will match those new colorway accels u gotta think about what clothing u can match it with, looks wiked hesh and gay. And the Rideway, wow u might as well let it ride away from the productioin line cuz its horrific. Im not a hater, iv been supporting u guys since 1999. Please, keep it simple and not tech. leave that to Osris or Globe

I like most of the shoes the murray’s are a cool looking show that I would definatley just chill in if not skate. I dont know for some reason I like the maccel, but maybe its because I like the tech look. The rideaway I have mixed feelings on, I like the brown and the black but I dont like the grey textured stuff on the other one. I don’t really like the K7’s, not saying its a bad shoe, just not my style. New accelerate colors=awesome. And I just cant make myself say anything bad about the accels, because there.. accels, no matter what color they come in.

The new colorways are totally sick. I’ve always skated éS and with these new colorways I’m deffinalty ganna be skating them all this summer. The only thing that i’m hoping doesn’t happen (because you guys released the standard) is éS shoes will be sold in like Pac Sun or some mainstream shoe shop. Right now, if u you were éS it shows u care about skating and will go out of ur way to get the best shoes. If u guys sell it all like Foot locker or some shit then the posers will come out and eat these up. Thats lame and i just hope it doesn’t happen. Other than that, u guys scored with the new shoes and i’ll be skating es all summer!

What I think you guys at eS should do is have all of us vote for our favorite colors of past accels and accel pluses, and whatever wins you bring them back out for a season. The accel colors could be better, but you already used up most of the good colorways in the past years.

hahaha i think my g/f would not use skate shoes i mean never she thinks they are too wide wich they are.

i think it would always go well to see the sole of the shoe because i always like to see what is underneath my shoe before i go all the way to a skateshop and then realize that the sole is not really what i expected, im saying kind of like a 3D spin thing like the one Vans uses (i hate vans ).

Murray = Holy shit! A non-skate shoe from Sole Tech that isn’t made by Emerica or Etnies! I like them, actually.

Standard = Why does every company need to have a shoe that looks exactly like this? Oh yeah, because they sell good. And because it’s a damn good design.

Rideaway = Horrible fuck up, didn’t you notice that all your other over-techy looking shoes didn’t sell well? Or did they sell great and I’m on the wrong planet?

K7 = Just as mediocre as all of his other shoes.

Maccel = What makes this version of the Acccel so special that a shoe this ugly with such bad colorways needed to be added to the eS line? Does it skate amazingly or something? Because that’s the only thing that would save this design.

I like the idea of a shoe archive. It’d give us sneakerheads something to look at when it’s raining or when boredom sets in. What the fuck are you thinking, taking the Koston 1’s off the line? With eS taking up the rear in the Sole Tech sales department, you’d think that It’d be time to NOT make any more bad designs and keep the classic old ones. So what do you do? Add one terrible shoe, three mediocre, and one good, and take out your best shoe and probably the best design in Sole Tech history. I’m a fan of eS and hate to see you guys making errors like this. Around these parts everyone wears shoes from the Accel family or Nike, and that’s about it. So why not just capitolize on Accels and pro models instead of releasing mountains of dreary team designs? I can’t say I understand your marketing here. Nonetheless, good luck with the new line: if they sell than great and if they don’t then maybe it’s a lesson learned.

PS
I picked up my first pair of Accel Plus (black synthetic colorway). Room for improvements, but overall the fit, cushioning, and boardfeel are great. Glad to finally have a pair on my feet.

I really like the Accel Plus. I got them at APB and skated out of the shop with them they were kinda hard but a few days of skating in them they felt great. It is the best skate shoe in the world. The Rodrigo TX brown n’ orange looked like something I would wear. ‘es should made the Accel plus in chocolate brown. : ) I agree with Austin why does a skate shoes company made shoes you can’t skate in.That makes no sence I don’t care if you’re just chilln’ damnit just wear the shoes you skate with what happened to just doing that? That’s is what I do. Oh yeah tell all the SKATE shoe companies to stop making shoes that We can’t skate in. I don’t have the money to buy a pair of shoes to chill in I’m not Mr. Rogers!

i think you should put G2 in the rodrigos. i had some black rodrigos and they were awesome, really comfortable and lasted me quite a while, the only bad part is i got heel bruises a lot.

what is up with the murray?!? its not right!

What’s up with that white sude bullshit is it some inside joke I was not included in huh?? What you don’t want to tell me. So I’m I always going to be the person that never knows what’s going on with the cool people. Damnit I wanna be cool too. I guess I have to become like Mr. Rodgers and be a manic that changes my clothes/shoes every time that I go out. AND YOU MR. $OOp3r dOOd why are you backing up some shoes. Damn there just shoes that you can’t skate in. No one told me you can’t skate in them you could tell by just looking at them. I have a question for you do you even skate?? I mean if you look at the make up of that shoe, it’s unskateable. If I wanted to break my neck hell yeah I would rock those shoes. I got a pair of IPATH shoes they were called Ashanti, it kinda looked like the Murray. I don’t skate in them. They’re like platforms shoes. FOR REAL!! *** NO DISRESPECT TO ‘ES LOVE THE ACCELS!!!***

i´ve realized that the koston7 in the display picture has a rubber thing in the heel part, and then the little colrway icons dont have it and also the picture of the pink koston7 have the rubber thing too.
is the rubber thing only for special guys like Koston, or McCrank, Penny, etc.?¿Can you explain this (josh/craig)??¿¿

when i write this stuff i think you guys at és take it as an offense but no offensés here.

i agree with anna. the mr rogers was funny because its true. my skate shoes are my “chill” shoes, my work shoes, and my church/dress shoes-duct tape toes, tied up broke laces and all. but the accels are all nice, the maccels arnt too bad in my opinion, pennys and tx are good but i dont think i would wear em. kostons never interested me after the second ones, i think they just kept getting worse, but the new ones look like they would be cool after they got all messed up from skaing in. standard is just what the name says. just your standard skate shoe. im not really into teck stuff so the others arnt really my thing either, and the murry? what were you guys thinking. i hate to say it but i dont think the designs are going down the right track as of now.

Personally I think that K4s were a really good shoe. They weren’t too beefy like other shoes, they had the right width and tongue. The foam at the heel was really comfy they felt like you were skating with hardly any weight on your feet yet they protected all those little bones. And the rubber moulding at the front of the shoe was super tough same with the little strip of wierd stuff at the side of the shoe I don’t know what the hell that was but it was crazy.BRING THOSE SHOES BACK- you shouldn’t just take it as my opinion what do all you peeps think?

Murray: I dont like it at all, but maybe its good for hanging out…
Standard: its good that és has this kind of shoe. I guess its cheaper and the colorways arent bad…
Rideaway: Pure shit. I dunno if it skates well but i dont think so… and the colors are awful
Maccel: Another accel-type o shoe. Are they running out of ideas? Colorways could be better
k7: Not bad, it will probably skate super. Colorways should be better

and one more thing: where is the ek-01. its a classic, bring it back!

Strangely enough, I was about to post something similar to Ryan, only more coherent. For some reason I’m getting heel bruises with the Accel Plus, but only in my left heel. The left heel G2 always felt kind of soft compared to the one in the right shoe, so I’m not sure if it’s a manufacturing fault or what, plus I’ve had the shoes for over a month so I can’t exchange them for another pair or anything.

Another thing is with the insoles of the shoes. My insole is literally falling apart in 2 places under the pressure of my left heel and ball of my left foot. This has never happened with any other insole, so I dunno what the hell is going on. The insole literally wore away to the point where I had to actually sew some foam in there myself.
I’m beginning to suspect that this is some sort of manufacturing fault as the insole in the right shoe is still perfectly intact, it’s only the left one that is falling apart.
I would appreciate it a lot if I could get in contact with you guys and you could send me out a new insole or something, cause if I keep using this one it’ll wear away beyond repair.

Thanks in advance,

Jack

ryan i can understand if you said the g2 in the accel plus isnt very good cuz it doesnt do much and its only the the heel, but the accelerate does have like the best cushioning in the shoe world.you can even feel it before you put your feet in. unless you got some crappy mail order or shop insole. i had that on the accel plus and it lasted for a week so i had to use some crappy osiris insole.

the maurrays are just plain ugly
the rideaways are just plain ugly
the standards are ok-but are they relly flat like that???
the accel and accel plus r still cool as ever-especialy with there new colorways

oh yeah… craig or josh or whoever… why does the PJ pro model keep being pushed back to different dates… last year és stated it would be out sometime this year, now it appears we have to wait till 2006… whats the deal with that, also, is rodrigo making a TX2… and is Nuske going to design a pro model soon… he definetly deserves it. keep pimpin

Hmm…Lots of people ripping on the new models. At first glance, I didn’t really like the new shoes, but by just looking at the pictures they’re starting to grow on me, haha. Change isn’t always bad, people :)

Here’s my thoughts on the new models/colorways:

Accelerate: Great new colorways.
Accel: Grey/lime/white and the P.J. colorway are probably the only two colors I like (and black, of course). I prefer them in leather :(
Accel Plus: All of the different blacks are nice (camo is just weird though), and blue/grey/white is TIGHT!
Murray: Definately not skate shoes, but I definately plan on getting a pair for walking/work. Nice job on designing these…
Standard: Meh, can’t see myself wearing them, but OK looking I guess.
Rideaway: Look a tad bulky, but can’t say for sure by just seeing the pictures. Love the look of the black/white/red ones though.
Cramer: Didn’t look great at first, but the black/white/red colorway looks great. Just kinda looks like the type of shoe that might last a bit longer…

well… I dont know what they were thinking when they decided to put something like the murray on a skate shoe line, that shit belongs on reebok or sumthin… it looks like you could kill some one in that shoe, why do you need a second pair of shoes just to chill in? i bought the cradles I love the lycra foot thing.. cuz i dont even need shoelaces:) and the toe is completely blown out… like you can see my sock through the shoe, but u dont here me sayin im guna by a pair of shoes just to hang out in. And the rideaway… well are those skate shoes or hiking shoes?? But everything else is pretty much sick, like the accels and accelerates and pluses, the cramer is nice, the maccels are a little too tech, i like the yellow and black ridrigos. The penny 2s are nice, i dont mind the standards but i probably woudnt by them. but except for the murray and rideaway, youve got dam fine line-up goin on here.
