Two Nine 8

Love the shoes they feel and fit great, the extra pair of green laces are super sick. And the shoes feel super sick. My only complaint it's not really a complaint but the insole where the es logo is on the heel is rubbing off and making my socks heel red but it comes off.

Got these yesterday (olive colorway). Very comfortable straight out of the box, love the reflector details, puffy but not too puffy, breathable (wore them all day today), look great - plus this colourway is animal-friendly. Grateful you made these. Kostalgia.

I've tried several different types of skateboarding shoes, but ES skateboarding shoes are the best. They're especially comfortable. They're also beautifully designed, and come in a variety of colors, so you can choose the one that best suits your taste. However, Korean importers often don't carry a lot of them, making them difficult to purchase domestically. That's why I buy them directly from the ESkateboarding website.

Ustedes son una marca icónica del skate, escribo desde chile y me declaro un fanático de muchos de sus modelos de hecho me he dedicado a comprar y buscar modelos históricos como las mas que mencionadas K3, he tratado por todos los medios volver a restaurar este modelo para volver a utilizarlos lo cual a sido imposible, incluso buscando la alternativa de imprimir el entre suela en 3D para reemplazar lo que por el tiempo ya entro en proceso de hidrolisis, como no existe una manera de la que la marca ayude a aquellos que atesoramos algunos modelos icónicos, como tal vez vender solamente las suelas para poder reemplazar las antiguas y volver a recuperar los modelos históricos de la marca. Tal vez solo a pedido con un pago anticipado y con despachos a distintos países.

To make it short: I don’t get the design decision to the change the outsole. The outsole of the original shoe was such a characteristic design feature. To change that means changing the complete shoe.
I was stoked when I found out they would retro the K2s because I couldn't get them back in the day.
When I saw the first pictures of the retro I was just disappointed. I’m still not decided if I should buy a pair. It just doesn’t make sense to change the shoe in such a drastic manner and then market it as connected the OG.

These are good shoes. I haven’t used them for skateboarding yet, I will once I finish my Es Quattro.

I love these shoes. I think it’s great that y’all are doing these re-issues. I’m stoked these are vegan. I’ve been liking all the vegan color ways that you guys do. I got the Muska as well, in the sand color. The only thing I really have a gripe about is the durability of the sole. I just feel like these sole wear out really fast compared to the last shoes I was wearing, which were the DC Kalynx. Even so, you guys are really the only ones doing the sick, vegan color ways, but I would say that it would be cool for the 197’s to be released in a vegan color way. Also I couldn’t find the Quattro in a vegan color way. I know they had the sand color before, but those were sold out online. That vegan suede really holds up, and I just wish there was a vegan suede color way of all the shoes, really. It’s just long-term a lot more sustainable to be using man-made materials. It would be nice for me to be able to skate a consistently available vegan model. Really though I like the chunky shoes and the Sophisto is not chunky enough. I’ll say it again, but the Quattro would be good in a vegan color way because I just feel like that’s one of the most perfect silhouettes. It reminds me a little bit of the legacy 98 slims, which are my favorite shoes from DC and I’m pretty upset that they discontinued them. Thanks for killing it for all these years. I just watched Menikmati the other day! ✌️

TWO NINE 8 is a classic, great work bringing these back, Es!

Always love buying your shoes.Thank you guys!

Got these in black and red because they remind me of Rodrigo TX in Menikmati. These feel really good on my feet, not to narrow and the size 10 is perfectly snug like I like my shoes. Haven't skated them yet because of the snow but I am super hyped on them. I hope they bring the blue and white color way back too because Mike Carrol wore them during his iconic line at the SF library.
