When I found out ‘eS was back in business about 2 years ago I was so stoked. When I was a kid I would seriously just look at any new pair of skate shoes I got for hours. ‘eS were always my favorites. Now that I’m an adult and I can spend my money on whatever I want, I went crazy lmao. I have over 40 pairs of ‘eS shoes, and I bought a ton of hoodies, shirts, and pants. It’s all really high quality. I always get compliments from older skaters. I hope ‘eS can keep growing and compete with the titans of the industry. I’ll keep supporting for sure!
In the same boat now lol. Gonna try to buy all these old shoes I'd fawn over in ccs catalogs every day. Great having money to buy these but I'd trade it all to be 15 again and skate around with no pain and worries about the future😢😢😔
Went to barcelona last week, skated with tom at parallel , such a genuine humble man! to see him still ripping and now getting to see this got me so hyped! Getting these for sure! ❤️🙏
@@Provemerightthx I "met" him there once, just walked into a random corner store to buy a bottle of water and there he was. He saw I was carrying my skateboard and just gave me sort of an affirming nod and that was that. Nothing needed to be said, didn't want to bother him, I knew him, he knew I knew him. Just a memorable moment in time.
I started skating in 1995. Well technically I started Skateboarding in 1989 when my nieghboor gave me a Santa Cruz board. But I got a popsicle board around 95. In those days it was a good way to make friends. You could just get your board skate around and you would find people to skate with. We used to meet at a parking lot and do 3 minute runs. Everyone would get either a 1 minute or 3 minute run to skate whatever was around. And then they would get a number 1-10 on the run. I learned all my skate tricks doing this. Learned pop shovit, Ollie 180 , 50/50. nose and tail slides, boardslides on the curb, impossibles, some flatland tricks, and almost landed kickflips. I also learned how to ollie 2 to 3 feet in the air. I feel kind of bad for kids with the internet now, althouigh its amazing having all of the knowledge in the world at your fingertips,, we actually had to make a real effort to talk to other skaters to actually learn how to do tricks correctly. The good skaters would always give us some advice on things, and it was usually things we had not idea about, A kid we skated with had Europe 1995 411 VHS, and let me make a copy. This was when I fist saw Tom Penny skate Radlands park, he won the contest in the video. He and Simon Woodstock had really defined styles that were the legendary in the video. I cut my hair like the Tom Penny type bowl cut in the video, thought a lot of people had the bowl cut at the time. And I had a pair of Duffs Strombolies shoes at the time, then eventually ES Accel, and of course the ES Koston. I think I had 4 pairs of accels over the years. My favorite where the cream and black sole with the red interior. Very similar colorway to Kellys pro shoe.
Great chemistry between Kelly and Steezus!👍🏼 Need more close ups of the shoes when you guys are explaining stuff like reverse stitching! Fun episode!🔥🔥🔥
When I decided to get back on a board during the lockdowns and now in my 30's I was instantly drawn back to the OG Accel in the brown/gum. For one, I always wanted a pair when I was a kid but never was able to get them. For two, being older I wanted something puffy to protect my feet!. Now that I've been back riding for a while I think I'm gonna give the Accel Slims a try but they gotta be brown/gum. Something about the way the brown/gum looks on top of the black grip is just sick and always will be. So thank you éS for keeping it real and making the best skate shoes you got a life long fan with me.
There’s just something special about the OG Accel. Favorite shoe of all time and I hope it never goes away! I rep these hella hard and am always stoked to pull out a fresh new pair after the current is roasted!
its hard to skate any other shoe after the ogs , even nikes or new balance i dont like they either feel to narrow or not enough cushioning , og accel all the way
Those brown/gum accels were the holy grail of skate shoes back when I started skating, never had a pair of that colorway but had a bunch of others and they were some of the best shoes I've skated. Don't think I could skate in them today though, I've gotten too used to slimmer shoes so I would just feel like I'd betrayed some mobster on every session if I skated in them now lol. Sick to see that they got the reverse stitches now too, the toe cap was always the first thing to blow out on them.
Had accel's backin the day blackgum , tom is an inspiration to us down in plymouth , kellly Big J keep doin it, love the content, 1 luv NINECLUB - SFSF4Life
Being an late 90s early 00's skater, aside from either koston 1s, Reynolds 1s, or Marc johnson 1s, you just had to have a pair of accels, you just had to at least at one point otherwise you were almost shunned out of the skater group in school. I even picked up a pair a while back just to relive that history of my youth in skating, hell, Penny legit is the reason I wear loose fit clothes to this day 20+ years later also. It's awesome
Back to the roots, like a plant in a new season, it reflowers newly beautifull, eternally iconic. The 90's Excel's reminded me of the Sal 23s that followed my memory of the Etnies Natas with velcro lace protection. Can not wait to see let alone slip on a pair of these! Vans-a-holic bro.
So one thing I notice that may or may not have been brought up before is the gum color of the outsole...I'm used the the brown shoes having more of that orange gum color like the Kostons, Sal 23s, Reynolds 1s and the OG Accels from what I remember...
wish es would brind back the kevlar pad on the accel. loved the full black, brown gum, and the original grey with the kevlar patch. accel slims now are my go to cupsole
I once found a brown pair of accels with a black soul and a feather with a circle around it on the back of the heel. Does anybody remember these? Oh I found them at the Santa Barbara Salvation Army for $7 by the way😊
first thing that blows on the accell is the stitching. on all shoes i super glue the stitches in the high wear areas before i skate them just so they keep their shape and will keep the panels together.
Keep up these shoe videos PLEASE! I love it! I used to obsess over skate shoes as a young 5th grader skater kid and I still love skate shoes soo much. I only wear boots or skate shoes. Being from IA
Is Es associated with Etnies anymore? I stopped skating in 98 abouts, but I remember the Es Koston high top with booty inside. I had white ones. But I think back in the mid 90s the leather MC Raps were the sickest shoes.
Would love to see the Creager come back in the white with blue accent with the air bubble. Not sure if there are restrictions on those but those are hall of fame.
Have you done anything with the heelcup? I'm one of those people who slides their foot in, and the Accel ogs are chronic for brittle heelcups where they shatter. I still have some mint reds from the initial Japanese reissue, and they're mint but for the heelcup which is in several pieces floating around in the heel... Big fan of them, but always found that super annoying.
Can’t wrap my head around caring about a shoebox, and tissue paper lol. My homies and I went through a bunch of Accels back then, thanks to guys like Penny & PJ
PLEASE DO THE OG JANOSKIS. And get the original black and white ones with the leather laces. Legit the greatest shoes of all time for so many skaters. The best vulc skate shoes ever made in terms of skateability, durability, and style on and off the board. The best shoes that came out in the modern era. All other vulcs paled in comparison. I know they're discontinued but i'm sure u guys know where to find a pair or two for the show. Not everyone has reverted back to wearing super baggy jeans for the puff shoe resurgance some still wear more normal fitted jeans.
As a kid skating since 94 I always skated in vans… these shoes were great tho I got a couple of these when they came out. So fun seeing these classics come out
Got both colours and the Creme white inverted stitching pair are So fresh that everyone in my small town Ask where to buy a pair. I was shopping the other day and a hot chick came up and took photos of my Creme colour Penny Es sort of flattering.
The first accel had an insole with a blue gel heel cushion and blue arch support, as did the es Sal 23s. Without that insole the shoe isn't the same. I had 10 pairs of the one with the blue padding under the sole. It completely changes the entire feel and puts your toes on point cause your arch is totally supported. Es needs to remake the actual og accel and Sal 23. The og suede was incredible, all made in Vietnam. Best shoes. Contact the og factory. I can look at these through a phone and tell the suede is not the og formula.
The 'es Rodrigo's were the best 'es shoe ever made. If they made that shoe again I would buy 10 pair. But I haven't heard from Rodrigo in like 15 years. It's not just about Rodrigo. That was just a beautifully designed shoe... Just make another one like his without the name, the sponsorship
éS are the Jordans of skateboarding.
And Tom Penny is the Jordan of skateboarding
None of that makes sense at all
I’d have to say vans
@@saratjgill2469 vans look nothing like jordans tho.. like look at the és stylus 🤷 show us a vans shoe that looks like a jordan but is not a jordan
@@saratjgill2469 no disrespect but.. vans can take a step back

Seeing Tom in the wild is like spotting a unicorn, you kinda have to do a double take

"Check ya footwork" should be the name of this segment. Keep up the good work Guys. 🤝❤
I grew up with this shoe, and it was so sick back than! But i have to say, im glad they made the slim version, fits more with my style today.
Yeah same I still have both lol
eS was my favorite as a kid, and is my favorite now as an adult. Best skate shoes hands down!

Jordans are the éS of basketball
That PJ shoe was the most fresh. Bring it back!
That signature! The way the "NNY" flows together with the same waveyness... That is so proper!!
Stezus and Kelly. Always great together..
Really the og dunks
There’s just something special about the OG Accel. Favorite shoe of all time and I hope it never goes away! I rep these hella hard and am always stoked to pull out a fresh new pair after the current is roasted!

how about the DC LYnX Og ?

I love chunky shoes
My go to skate shoe in HS. Shredded in every colorway. But the black and all gum is the legendary ones
My favorite skate shoes. Rocking the brown and gum right now.
So one thing I notice that may or may not have been brought up before is the gum color of the outsole...I'm used the the brown shoes having more of that orange gum color like the Kostons, Sal 23s, Reynolds 1s and the OG Accels from what I remember...
please keep making these episodes! i absolutely love it!!
Also funny how boards got wider and shoes got thinner over time. (thinkin about that basketball/skate shoes analogy)
wish es would brind back the kevlar pad on the accel. loved the full black, brown gum, and the original grey with the kevlar patch. accel slims now are my go to cupsole
I just opened my 9th straight Es shoe!! Perfect timing! I skated the OGs last winter
15:23 pause it wtf is that sticker job lol
Hell yeah loved this love penny
Wade 1.5 Swifts are some of the best shoes I skated
Keep 'em comin ol' buddies! T'was a delightful watch as the whole house smelled like bacon.
I once found a brown pair of accels with a black soul and a feather with a circle around it on the back of the heel. Does anybody remember these? Oh I found them at the Santa Barbara Salvation Army for $7 by the way😊
I def gotta get éS for my next shoes
Love Es, been skating them the past year and I love the accel slims
I bought OG’s back in 2018, I still wear the same pair nearly everyday. So extremely comfortable. Way more comfortable than a pair of D3’s I have.
That Pic of penny came from ACT Australia tuggeranong skatepark........... pop shuv
i love these! just bought the pacific blue Accel OG's.
first thing that blows on the accell is the stitching. on all shoes i super glue the stitches in the high wear areas before i skate them just so they keep their shape and will keep the panels together.
been wanting this content since the shoes were announced!
Dope ass shoe! 👞
Keep up these shoe videos PLEASE! I love it! I used to obsess over skate shoes as a young 5th grader skater kid and I still love skate shoes soo much. I only wear boots or skate shoes. Being from IA
i actually wear it right now :-D the slim brown one.
when the video begins with a Mean Girls reference i know it's gonna be legit
Haha. That went over my head until tou pointed it out
Probably should note somewhere on this "review" that Kelly Hart works with éS - so it does kinda feel like an ad more than a review.
Such a much more quality shoe then some of the non skateboarding Nike that come out
Fuck yeah thanks so much guys.
Tom Penny pop shuvit was in Canberra Australia
Sickness! Got these in Brown. Say Yes to éS
That Mean Girls reference though 👌
Them PJ Ladd Boston was the shizzy had 3 pair
Really cool skateboard shoes guys!
LOVE THISSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
somewhere in the world there is a lady wishing Kelly would look at her the same way he looks at Tom Penny's shoe... haha
Small suggestion for upcoming reviews, please also talk about the sizing. Keep 'em coming ❤
More more more of this, please!
Is Es associated with Etnies anymore? I stopped skating in 98 abouts, but I remember the Es Koston high top with booty inside. I had white ones. But I think back in the mid 90s the leather MC Raps were the sickest shoes.
Random question, but is the Accel Slim similar to the Square 2? Had that one back in the day and hands down best skate shoe I ever had. Awesome video!
I think the square 2 was vulcanized
Hey dude! They're somewhat similar other than square 2 had a vulcanized sole and Accel Slim has a cupsole!
@@KellyMHart sick and good to know, thanks for the reply! 💯
I've sat through this entire thing with a smile on my face.
kelly stop n chat
Got the Penny brown gum Accels, and receive my Creme color Penny Ogs next week, Summer shoes SORTED.
Penny is a One of a kind Mastermind.
I’m hyped! Accel Slims are more my speed, but I’ve gotta show love for éS. Sole Tech, forever.
timberland tom, true to form
Would love to see the Creager come back in the white with blue accent with the air bubble. Not sure if there are restrictions on those but those are hall of fame.
The ogs gum are still my favorite shoes i ever owned, so much shoegoo was used to try and keep them alive!
why is es selling accels for over $100. when are we going to get spare laces with our shoes?
My dad loves these shoes 😂😂
Do those heelflip like the Sal's? Or is it just bigger
What's the difference between the rs and the regular ones besides the 10 dollar difference 🤔
Im just glad the brand is still around. I skated the hell out of them. They didnt get funky looking like dc did
Just ordered mine!!!!

The originals had two layers of material around the toe
Love all that, rad, next sal runs, yeah the 97s are sick
been loving these reviews
I know you guy are going to drop some retro Creagers.
Please just comment the colorway....

The stitching looks dope! I actually never bought a pair and seeing that kinda has me wanting to cop a pair.
I made a comparison video on my channel
You won't regret it. Been rocking em since I was kid. Still got two pairs.
sitting here just listening to this sneakerhead chat, lacing up and admiring my 2 new sets of accel ogs n just living that life
OH SHIT U MENTIONED BAGGY BRAD YOO
And you rip laces like no tomorrow.
Fuck man we need 1 a week.....I could watch these two talk shoes for hours
Good ish nine club!!!
Man, that shove-it silhouette
As a kid skating since 94 I always skated in vans… these shoes were great tho I got a couple of these when they came out. So fun seeing these classics come out
i def would like ya'll to check out some of the new globe stuff? i wonder how it is. i normally havnt liked globe but it'll be cool to catch up on it
You should put an affiliate link in the description, you’re missing out on some bread. I was looking for where to buy
Got both colours and the Creme white inverted stitching pair are So fresh that everyone in my small town Ask where to buy a pair. I was shopping the other day and a hot chick came up and took photos of my Creme colour Penny Es sort of flattering.

Love these shoe reviews, defo do more of these
Great job 🎉

You guys should do a game show style series where you try to guess the shoe by the silhouette
Love it!

very nice review of my favorite skater's pro model shoe!
Been around so long they added the OG to it 😎
You two are looking a lot more fit these days 💪
