With only a few weeks left in the year, it's a perfect time to reflect and reminisce about 2024. But why stop there? I say we hop in a time machine and journey back to the late 90s and early 00s to revisit a classic skate shoe—the timeless Ronnie Creager signature model from éS.
Hey, the classics never fail, so get stoked. Because Ronnie Creager's newly retooled signature model is back in its timeless black/white colorway.
I love a clean, sleek black and white skate shoe. Always have, always will. There's enough flashiness in skateboarding these days, and honestly, that's fine. But this is one colorway that will always work.
Say what you want, but the "classics" are classic for a reason. These things still look so rad, if you ask me. And even though I can't personally pull these off... it doesn't change the fact that I'm a huge fan of them. Nostalgia at its finest. I'm one-hundred percent here for it.
I know some of you want all those nitty-gritty details, so here you go:
- Triple stitched vamp with molded TPR toe cap for durability
- Full-length PU foam midsole with airbag for comfort and impact protection -
- Custom Creager signature detailing
- Elastic tongue straps
- Padded tongue and collar for comfort and support
- 400 NBS rubber outsole
- Perforated EVA insole with arch support
"One of the most highly demanded shoes in skateboarding is back. Ronnie Creager has been one of the most innovative and stylish skaters to come out of the 90’s and 30 years later is still ripping above and beyond most," éS humbly mentions on their site.
"Ronnie’s shoe is a clean tech shoe with an airbag in the heel, rubber toe piece for durability, heel loop for trouser sag control, reflective underlays. We’re so stoked to see this shoe back and looking better than ever… as will all the true skaters around the world that have been patiently waiting, waiting and waiting!"
Hit your local skate shop or hop on the éS website to secure your little piece of nostalgia before the holidays. I think 2025 will officially be the year of the puffy skateboarding shoe resurgence. We shall see.
