Well, it looks like the countdown is over—TJ Rogers’ first-ever éS pro model shoe officially drops tomorrow, August 21st, and if all the early feedback is anything to go by (plus the fact that éS is pulling out all the stops for this one), this release is bound to be major.

David Bluetile—owner of Bluetile Skateshop in South Carolina and one of our favorite skate shoe reviewers—gave us all a deep dive ahead of the release in the video below. If you were on the fence before, here's your sign to jump off and make moves. Take a look:

It seems like TJ has been on an absolute tear these past few years. Don’t get me wrong, he’s always staying busy and stacking clips, but it just seems like he’s finally getting the shine he deserves.

Riding for SK8MAFIA and securing a proper spot on the éS roster have been great moves. TJ rips. No debate. And this pro shoe has been a long time coming, if you ask me. This might be a major milestone, but let's be real—this is just the beginning.

To celebrate the release, TJ is hitting the streets worldwide (literally), rolling through major cities to hit some skateshops, link up with the locals, skate, and help spread the word. They're going all out for this one! Check the tour stops below to see if he’s rolling through your town.
