Es footwear was created in 1995 by skateboarders to advance and innovate footwear to keep up with the progression of the sport. The K5 featured an overlasted midsole that would have looked more at home on an AND1 basketball shoe. Both the colorblocking and the heavy perforations gave it more of a skate-inspired look, paving the way for companies like Gravis and Clae. These products are mainly intended for collector purposes.
