Cushioning:
EVA
éS uses EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) footbeds for plush, cushiony support. Attached to all of our EVA footbeds is a removable foam arch support for a more precise, comfortable fit.
System O2™
System 02™ is a custom-built chamber of compressed air to cushion heavy impacts. Working together with phylon and polyurethane midsoles, System 02™ gently absorbs the huge forces experienced in hard landings, at the same time allowing the skater to maintain good board feel and control.
System G2™
éS uses System G2™ because it was designed exclusively for skateboarding, not basketball. Unlike EVA or other shock absorption materials like air bags, System G2™ cushions hard landings without giving up board feel and control. The new STI technology is also more responsive and lasts longer than anything else. System G2™ is the most advanced skate footwear technology available. Once you skate on it, you’ll also know it’s the best.
System G2 Full Impact™
System G2 Full Impact™ is the first full-length midsole gel insert. This absorbant gel compund minimizes the force of impact in the heel and ball of the foot, reducing injuries and providing the ultimate in protection and comfort.
