It's mid-November and éS isn’t slowing down as we head toward the new year. They just dropped a strong new 'Two Nine 8' in a Grey/Black/Red for Holiday 2025 and asked us, “Best colorway yet?” Tacking on: “Too classic.” I mean… I’ll let you decide. This one feels like a perfect blend of nostalgic éS styling and modern-day tech nonetheless. Take a look:

“Originally dropping in 1998, the éS Two Nine 8 was an iconic favorite that left a lasting mark on skate culture. Now, it’s back and better than ever – refreshed with modern updates while staying true to the original’s design that made it a skateboarding staple,” the éS site reads. “Get ready to step into a piece of history with a shoe that combines retro style, innovative tech, and legendary durability.”

The powers that be at éS are still on the frontlines fighting the good fight. TJ Rogers new pro model has been making some noise, and their collab with Movember was super rad and inspiring. Good people doing good things in the name of skateboarding.

Look for the new Two Nine 8 and all the latest from éS at your local shop. These reimagined classics have been moving fast, and for good reason. I say keep the hits coming. Technical. Timeless. GTWYC!
