FAQs
What is the difference between the éS Accel and Accel OG in this collection?
The éS Accel OG is the brand's classic low-top silhouette with a vulcanized construction that gives immediate board feel and flexibility right out of the box, popular for technical street skating. The standard Accel builds on that shape with a slightly updated cupsole-style construction for more cushioning and durability under repeated impact. Riders who want maximum board feel for flip tricks tend to prefer the OG, while those doing more stair sets and gaps often lean toward the standard Accel for the extra impact protection.
Which éS shoe is best suited for technical street skating versus heavier impact skating?
The éS Two Nine 8 in this collection is a slim, low-profile vulcanized shoe built for maximum board feel, making it a common choice for technical flip trick skating. The éS One Nine 7 and Penny 2 offer more structured cupsole-style support, which suits riders doing bigger stair sets, gaps, and drops where impact absorption matters more than raw board feel. Choosing between them mostly comes down to whether a rider prioritizes feeling the board or protecting their feet on hard landings.
How does éS shoe sizing typically run?
éS shoes in this collection generally run true to standard US shoe sizing, similar to other skate shoe brands like Emerica and Etnies since éS was originally founded by some of the same team. Riders between sizes, or those who prefer a snugger fit for better board control, sometimes size down a half size, while those wanting more room for thick socks may stay true to size. Checking the specific model's reviews or size chart is worth doing since fit can vary slightly between silhouettes like the Two Nine 8 and Accel.
What makes the éS Muska a notable model in this collection?
The éS Muska is a signature model named after professional skateboarder Chad Muska, historically known for its distinctively bold silhouette and durable construction built to handle heavy daily street skating. It remains a recognizable retro model within éS's lineup, appealing to riders drawn to its specific styling as much as its performance. Riders looking for a more low-profile, technical shoe would typically choose the Two Nine 8 or Accel OG instead.
Are éS shoes in this collection built specifically for skateboarding, or are they general streetwear?
Every shoe in this collection is built specifically for skateboarding, with vulcanized or cupsole outsoles designed for board feel and impact absorption rather than general everyday comfort alone. Uppers use suede or durable synthetic materials reinforced in high-wear areas like the ollie zone, which is where the foot repeatedly contacts the griptape during flip tricks. While many riders do wear éS shoes casually off the board, the underlying construction is designed around the demands of actual skateboarding.
