Can take other photos and post here if you need 'em.

can’t you put them on and do some skating instead :smiley: the toe box looks very accel slim which is promising. it’s the back of the shoe that i’m concerned about. there’s nothing there

If they’re doing a non suede/leather colourway of the Eos I’m down. I always liked the look of the OG Eos.

Really backing eS for making vegan skate shoes that aren’t thin, canvas thingy-mah-bobs that will explode on the first sesh or hurt my feet for the next millennium.

Not my size, I’m afraid. They’ve been sent specifically for the skater to shoot in.

make him do a 100 kickflips after the shoot then. pretend it’s a wear-tested review or something

Gum sole on the white Eos would have been excellent

The more you all go on about es the more I keep looking at swift 1.5s or the Accel slims…then I have moments of looking at the last resort abs, all it reminds me of is how much I hate shopping though aha

Gonna weigh in on the éS talk. Got a pair of Silo and I’d definitely recommend them.

Figured they be quite solid, but they’re nothing like the DC reissues (not that these are a reissue, but you know) which were unwearably solid. I’m not sure they were that solid at the time (talking about the Kalis, Lynx and Legacy) and I’m maybe remembering them wrong because shoes have been so comfy for so long now.

But yeah these Silo are chunky AND soft. And they’re super comfy. They’re amazing. Didn’t expect them to be so good just because chunky-shoe-makers seem to want them solid with a sole that doesn’t flex, but none of that here.

Straight out the box freshness and comfort. Backing them.

I had a pair of the grey ones a few years ago, they were a little bit too chunky for me but they were bloody comfortable! The reworked Silo SC are perfect for what I want.

On a similar note with the sole softness, the Sesla were one of my favourite models, it was a shame to see them get discontinued.

I hated the sesla and would say pretty much the exact opposite of that in that they seemed to take about 6 months to break in.

This is what surprised me on my return to E’s…how good the cupsole was. Really soft and grippy, but it does wear a bit faster than e.g. NB or Nike cupsoles. I love skating them, I’m a bit 50/50 on how they look…they don’t look bad but they’re pretty bland.

Yeah I had some really hard and impossible to break in Sal 97 re-ups. Put me off E’s completely…newer shoes are completely different it seems.

I had several pairs of the black/white/grey ones and loved them. I never had trouble breaking them in.

I’ve been eyeing up these, but more likely the low cut version. Who’s worn them on here, are they worth the money? It’s quite a lot (hello klarna) when I could just get a pair of the new sk8-highs for £20 less.

They do look sick tho

The quality is pretty good but they’re a very simple shoe for the price. Seem to last well and people who have skated them rate them. I am going to try some on this week…if they’re wide enough I’ll get some highs and try them out.

I don’t think they’re going to impress me as much as the E’s Accel slims did!

I’m rocking some right now in that exact model, I’m really into them, they’re chunkier than a standard vulc shoe and way more soft and comfortable than any vans shoe. The sole went bald quite quick on the last ones I had though is my only issue, but they’re super comfy. Fit a tiny bit bigger than other shoes in the same size.

They’re also defo more of a light grey than white
