Skateboarding never really appealed to me. Falling down and agility were never my sort of things; but wearing the fashions that accompanied the skateboard lifestyle, now I am all about it. So the eS and Krooked skateboard shoes are right up my half pipe.
This collaboration extravaganza sees two sets of shoes being produced for eS’ two different line 'First Blood' and 'Square One.' Both pairs of the eS and Krooked skateboard shoes feature simple colorways and have the tell tale Krooked stitching on them. Basically, they are truly rad shoes.
