Call me crazy, but it feels like éS continues to hit us with heavy doses of nostalgia during our daily doom scrolling! The iconic (and recently updated) ‚Two Nine 8‘ has been back for a minute, but only in select colorways.
These black and yellows just scream late 90s/early 00s! And they’re officially back. Get a closer look below, along with all the details on these unearthed gems.

While you’re here, you should tap that post above and watch Aimu Yamazuki put these classic kicks to the test in the LA streets a few months back when they were just teasing ‚em. Almost feels like you’re watching an old 411VM commercial or something, and I mean that in the best possible way.
But back to the éS vault—the newly updated ‚Two Nine 8‘ is available in „black“ and „navy/white“ as well right now, with the black/yellow colorway rounding them all out. Look for them at your local skate shop or the éS online store.
Nostalgia has been a heavy theme this year and I’m here for it.
I mean, you won’t see me rocking these, but those who can pull them off… get there!
