éS Two Nine 8 – A Skateboarding Legend, Reborn
Originally dropping in 1998, the éS Two Nine 8 was an iconic favorite that left a lasting mark on skate culture. Now, it’s back and better than ever – refreshed with modern updates while staying true to the original’s design that made it a skateboarding staple. Get ready to step into a piece of history with a shoe that combines retro style, innovative tech, and legendary durability.
Key Features:
• Classic Chunky Cupsole Design – The Two Nine 8 stays true to its chunky cupsole silhouette, delivering a durable, responsive feel underfoot. It’s built to withstand hardcore skate sessions, just like the original.
• Reinforced Toe Cap – A triple-stitched and reinforced toe cap takes the brunt of impact from flip tricks, ensuring long-lasting durability through hours of skating.
• Rubberized Ollie Area – The rubberized ollie area extends from the toe, offering extra protection against wear, so your shoe lasts longer even during intense sessions.
• Reflective Mesh Underlays – Stylish and functional, the reflective mesh underlays not only give the Two Nine 8 its signature look but also add breathability for comfort during long sessions.
• Lycra Ankle Pillow – Hidden in the collar, the Lycra “ankle pillow” ensures a snug fit and prevents heel lift, making for a secure ride and added comfort.
• Full-Length EVA Foam Midsole – The EVA foam midsole cushions impacts from big drops and gaps, ensuring your feet stay comfortable all day long.
• 400 NBS Rubber Cupsole Outsole – The 400 NBS rubber cupsole provides the perfect blend of grip and durability, ensuring the Two Nine 8 can handle even the most technical skate tricks.
• Lace Protection System – Keep your laces intact with the hidden internal loops, or lace traditionally for that classic look. The Lycra tongue straps help keep the tongue centered and in place throughout your session.
Modern Comfort, Retro Soul:
The Two Nine 8 brings together old-school skate style with modern tech. Its sleek yet durable construction keeps it lightweight without sacrificing protection or comfort. Whether you’re hitting the streets or sessioning the park, this shoe delivers the perfect mix of performance and style.
Why It’s Special:
The éS Two Nine 8 isn’t just a reissue; it’s a timeless skate shoe with modern refinements. Whether you’re reliving your 90s skate memories or experiencing this classic for the first time, the Two Nine 8 provides everything you need: superior comfort, performance, and an undeniable throwback aesthetic. Lace up and take your skating to the next level with a shoe that’s been designed to handle everything from technical flip tricks to big drops.

I started skating as a teenager in the 90s and went through every fashion trend of the time but I loved the ultra baggy jeans and super plush skate shoes. I never had Accels though always liked the look of them. I've been skating in SB Dunks, Adidas, and other random modern styled shoes. After going back to super baggy pants my slimmer skate shoes looked stupid tbh. I wanted to get the old look back so looked up the Accels and found all the colorways. Started with this grey two-tone and it's so nice. The red and yellow and white RCA rings on the laces is a nice touch. Had to get used to wearing a relatively flat shoe again but very happy with them. They skate well and have worked for everyday wear. Ended up also ordering the animal colorway. Will likely be getting more of these as they wear out. Thanks for keeping them alive, eS!
Best shoes I’ve ever had period. And to skate in? Epic. I have Haglunds deformity and these support my really weird needs, which is tons of support, fitted shoes with arch support which most skate shoes don’t have. 10/10 shoes
The product has been returned! However, I did not receive a full refund!!
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.
Hi Sasgot,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on our Two Nine 8 product. We understand how important the design of the outsole is to you and we apologize for any disappointment caused by the change. We value your opinion and we will take it into consideration for any future updates. We hope you will give the shoe a try and see how it performs. If you have any further concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Thank you for your support!

Good to go right out the box from Canton to Miami I’ve been loving them on every push. BONAFIDE CLASSIC! Go get yourself two pairs!
These shoes are coming apart and showing huge signs of wear with a broken lace and broken seams at the toe after only one week of skating..not a fan of this overrated skate shoe...
its not the sti insole in the picture as advertised instead its some other one and it puts a lump at the center side of your foot instead of keeping it a flat like all the other insoles . be ready to change your insoles unless you want a lump under your foot or hopefully get the right one as advertised. Disappointed on that and my brown accel ogs are the same size but look different and have a different material feel so i somehow got shoes that are from two separate boxes or batches which is very annoying and makes them noticeably look and feel odd. my pair of black accel OGs came with glue/rubber coming up the right side of the shoe making it malfunctioned and looks like its missing material so it sucks to have those problems out of box. i usually love Es but so far this was an annoying experience! hopefully yours will be better and i hope that es will reach out to me. Also what happened to the good days of atleast getting laces with new shoes? no extra laces is one thing but spending $180 and not even getting one sticker either. come on!
