with the release of the blue toe questions I somewhat understand why they changed the color of the sole on the es22 because the 2 shoes look so similar and the releases are so close together

those gum soles look horrible on the ES22s.
I have to agree with this. They ran the blue tinted soles on the Blue/Red toe Questions so why not do the same for the ES'?
Edit: Just saw that the OGs soles turned 'piss' yellow after a while. Maybe they misinterpreted this as a 'gum' sole?
Are both es 22 releasing on the 21st or just the black one?
Yeah I think they did it to give it a "vintage" look. They did the same thing with the Answer retros a few years ago except the Answers were a translucent gum color. These ES22s look funny to me because its a solid gum colored outsole.
I still say its because the blue toe questions just dropped
I think they felt it looked to similar to release them with the clear sole with the releases so close
Nah brother, in general White/Blue, White/Red kicks are good sellers. Also these are two very different shoes, one's basketball and the other's a trainer. Lastly the ES22 is being retro-ed after years while Questions have been dropped intermittently over the years - however this year's reissues are (IMHO) one of the better ones.
Real shame re: the ES22, I would've dropped retail on but it comes across as a retro+ now - will try to pick up for $90 and under...
Lol outlet bound even if it starts at 100
probably will hit outlets ... Been waiting for this retro for quite some time. I was 16 when they came out in the 90's and owned a pair as well. I really wish they had kept the original cowboy colorway the same with the clear sole also. I too will be scooping up on disco from friends and or at outlets.
