éS footwear is excited to introduce the new Limited edition Accel Slim Skate Rat.

According to the Chinese zodiac, 2020 is the year of the rat, so what better time to celebrate all the Skate Rats around the world? There’s only one thing that matters to the Skate Rat, and that is skateboarding… an eternal obsession of pushing through life, destroying all limitations, and never, ever giving up. To all the Skate Rats out there, éS salutes you.

The Accel Slim in a rich red with luxurious gold accents has an iconic Skate Rat logo on the heel, has STI Energy Foam Performance insoles, and comes wrapped in a beautiful silk like shoe bag. This Accel will take you skating and good looks to new levels!

Talking of good looks, who better to represent the Limited éS Skate Rat Accel than the Chinese Skate Legend, Kien “Donger” Lieu. Donger’s family is from a small village in Canton, China. At 4 years of age his family settled in San Diego, California, where he conquered skate spots that are still untouched to this day. He speaks fluent Cantonese and his Skate Rat philosophy speaks for itself. Donger is world known for having one of the highest ollies in the game and his aspirational style and generous personality make him one of our favorite ever Skate Rats. He has lived skateboarding 110% for over 30 years.

The artist of the éS Skate Rat emblem is Mark Kowalchuck who resides in Calgary, Canada and has also been a Skate Rat for over 30 years. One of his favorite local spots just happens to be “Little China” in Calgary. Mark is a prolific designer and has produced graphics for many of the best skateboard companies in the world. Grab yourself a pair of the #eS_SkateRat at your local skate shop or eSskateboarding.com.
