Dead.
Literally can’t remember the last pair of Sole Tech’s I had. Maybe some OG Es Accells and Etnies Vestas BITD.
Essentially it is a team change but unlike changing football teams, changing skate teams, boards or shoes etc, can come with something of a perceived change of image.
Hi there!
I’ve been skating in Accelerate and Accel Slim exclusively since eS came back from “hiatus”. Probably about 15 pairs, and for work, I have alway had Emericas because they’re usually pretty basic.
Off to catch a bus to the library now.

Not talking about actual Accels obviously.
How would he not know his mum’s shoe size, when he worked at a shoe company?
Haha fair enough. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from years on this forum it’s not to listen to a lot of you lot when it comes to shoe taste, each to their own 
The whole of the mid ninetees was full of blank lumps of suede and it was a pretty fresh looking era.
I love seeing someone in accels sals or raps/scams etc
This is where Emerica peaked. The original Leo. Absolutely brilliant shoe
Still waiting for éS to do a straight reissue of the Square One.

We sold a lot of that Leo IIRC.
I had the Vestas. They took about 3 months to break in and that toe cap just would not die

That version of the Leo was one of my favourite shoes ever. So good. Felt like a vulc Nike Sb Air Classic which was also one of the best.
Good way to get rid of inventory.

That was ages ago wasn’t it? For Stay Gold vid
Oh yeah. Didn’t actually bother reading it. I know those guys give shoes to the homeless so figured they’d be dropping these off at parks or something. Meh.
Do they still make the gum coloured ones? Can’t see them anywhere
Slam have black/gum:
Burgundy with white sole is such a dope colourway!
