The powers that be at éS did their fair share of archiving-digging in 2024, and for good reason—it's what the people want! And it appears that they're staying on theme here in 2025. The iconic 'Muska' has been reissued in a handful of different colorways at this point, but the classic Navy/Whites just made their official return.
"The legendary éS Muska dominated in 1999, and now, the Navy/White reissue is here," éS proudly mentioned on Instagram. "As the final drop in our six-colorway series, this one’s not to be missed." And they certainly aren't lying!
Say what you want, but the Navy/White Muska colorway is by far my favorite. I can't personally pull off a pair of shoes like this, but honestly, I might have to try.
These kicks shoot me back to my childhood in a way not many other skate shoes can. It feels like I'm opening a catalog of CCS weeks before my birthday, Sharpie in hand, triple-circling these to really get my point across.
Here's a little blurb from the éS website, along with a few more details:
"The most demanded éS shoe of all time - the iconic éS Muska - is back for a limited time. Few people have made such a huge impact in skateboarding as Chad Muska, AKA: 'THE MUSKA'. Combining raw talent, personality and power, the Muska will fill every session with creativity and energy."
- Molded PU cage over quarter and heel mesh for durability and support
- Hidden stash pocket in tongue
- Rubber toe cap and accent in ollie area for durability
- Custom molded eyelets for lace protection
- Rubber quarter guard for durability
- Lace toggle and heel pull tab for easy wear
- Padded tongue and collar for support
- Lycra tongue centering straps
- Custom molded tongue label
- Reflective logo on heel
- PU foam Midsole
- Molded EVA footbed

Yep! The stash pocket is there. The classic laces. Even the insoles ooze nostalgia. And just FYI, they have a few apparel items to round out the collection as well.
Look for these and more at your local skate shop! They should definitely be carrying them. Walk up in there in your baggy cargo shorts and XXL tee like it's 1999 and ask for 'em by name.
