éS Footwear (pronounced like the letter S) is an American footwear company owned by Sole Technology, Inc., who specialize in skateboarding shoes and clothing.
The flagship shoe of éS is the Accel, followed by the Accel Plus. Released in 1996, the Accel is the company's strongest selling shoe and is still popular today.
The company currently sponsors eight riders: Rick McCrank, Rodrigo Teixeira, P.J. Ladd, Justin Eldridge, Cale Nuske, Javier Sarmiento, Nyjah Huston and Silas Baxter-Neal, plus flow riders Bobby Worrest, Mike Barker and a few others. In Spring 2006, éS lost their last original member and unofficial leader, Eric Koston, to Lakai, and just before him Tom Penny moved to Supra footwear.
Menikmati
Menikmati is a skateboarding video released by éS in 2000. It features their team in a straightforward skate video, meaning no skits, pranks, or other shenanigans. Each skater’s part is preceded by an introduction that provides a cultural skate perspective of where they come from, at times with subtitles to boot. The music, most of which is instrumental, covers a range of genres from calm to upbeat, hip-hop to rock.
éS YéS!
The éS team is currently filmimg for their next video, entitled YéS!, which should be released sometime in 2007. There are only two skaters left who starred in Menikmati who still ride for éS: Rick McCrank, and Rodrigo Teixeira.
