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.

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!

These shoes rock! It’s been a few years since I purchased some ES shoes, and even though I’m not a daily skater anymore at 54, I can still appreciate the style and comfort. Im not planning on tearing them up just yet, so you’ll have to wait a little for a function review.
Hi William!

And don't worry about not skating daily anymore - our shoes are perfect for all ages and lifestyles. Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with us.

I'm a nostalgic "I used to skate" skater and i wanted to remember what a real pair of shoes are before Nike buys all the sports and everyone will start wearing Air Forces basic b***, i bought them for the culture that taught me everything i am and know today, skateboarding was a really big part of my life and the es brand (as well as others) never disappointed me. The shoe is the high quality i remember it's still an es shoe with no compromises, im going to wear them as a statement piece and use some of my old shoes for skating. I gave 5 stars but wanted to give 4 just because I find that they are not true to size or I just didn't remember them well enough, I'm a size 12 but they fit snug and really feel like a size 11.5 on the toe... hope they won't hurt me from a long day's wear

Fat padded tongue, a realy good sole which means cushioning at the heel but boardfeel at the toes. Nice Heellock without strangulating my feet with the laces. Quality is as usual , realy realy good.

Thanks to éS for giving vegans legit options from real skate shoes. The industry as a whole is doing a terrible job of being inclusive and ethical, with the exception of SoleTech brands.
The durability of this sole is really bad. The insoles are useless and not getting a second set of laces is lame. At this price point, I expect more.
Not exactly comfortable as the original from the 90ies but closed. And the style is still finest. It is so classical it will always beat everything else!!!
