What Makes éS Shoes Stand Out?

éS Skateboard Footwear has been a staple in the skateboarding community for decades. Their focus on blending innovative technology with timeless style sets them apart. Each pair is engineered to provide unparalleled comfort, durability, and board feel, making them a go-to choice for skaters worldwide. Staying true to quality skateboard footwear that fuses heritage style with modern look and comfort.

Introducing the New TJ Rogers Pro Model.

We’re thrilled to introduce the latest addition to the éS lineup: the TJ Rogers Pro Model. This is the first new pro model for éS in 10 years, making it a milestone in the brand’s 30-year legacy. As a celebration of éS’s 30-year legacy, this shoe embodies everything that makes skateboarding and design innovation so special. TJ Rogers, known for his explosive skating and vibrant personality, worked closely with the éS design team to create a shoe that reflects his unique style on and off the board. Taking heritage influence from the most memorable nineties shoes. TJ created something special that will appeal to those who lover heritage shoes while connecting with the new era skate shoe enthuses.

Insights from TJ Rogers:

"When éS approached me about creating my own pro model, I was beyond stoked. We spent so much time refining every detail—from the shape and materials to the performance features that matter most when I’m skating. I wanted this shoe to be something that skaters could really connect with, not just on the board but as a part of skate culture. Incorporating elements from some of my favorite éS shoes, like the Koston 1 and Muska, was a dream come true. I hope this shoe inspires others the way those classics inspired me."

Designer Insights: TJ’s Signature Shoe:

When we started the process to create TJ’s signature shoe, we looked at the styles he was skating, taking note of what aesthetic and functional details he liked about each of them. We also dug deep into the éS archives to reference historic favorites. TJ’s style off the board is as expressive as his skating is explosive, and it was a fun challenge to weave his personality into the final design.

TJ was specific about wanting to do the tongue label in the same TPR application as some of the iconic éS pro models—Koston 1, Creager, and Muska, to name a few. Replicating this detail for his shoe feels extra special since it’s launching as part of the 30-year anniversary of éS, and TJ’s shoe will define the next chapter of that legacy. He’s one of the hardest-working skaters and an incredibly humble person, and he definitely deserves the honor of a shoe with his name on it. Yeah TJ!
