Aimu Yamazuki Rolls Through the LA Streets Putting the Newly Updated éS 'Two Nine 8' to the Test

I sort of felt like I was watching an old 411VM commercial in my trusty VHS player as I was watching this clip, and I mean that in the best way possible. Smooth, stylish and effortlessly technical—Aimu Yamazuki shows us all what the newly updated éS Two Nine 8 model can do in the LA streets in this new "wear test" video.

Call it a wear test, call it a mini-part, call it a commercial—whatever! Aimu rips and I love that he's rolling around with a style of his own. The baggy denim shorts, the puffy kicks, the trick selection... I'm here for it. It's an oddly refreshing approach in this day and age, but hey, everything that disappears tends to resurface sooner than later.

At any rate, I really enjoy watching Aimu skate. The dude is just dialed. And even though the Two Nine 8 might not be for everyone , those who can pull them off will be stylin' on us all when they're stacking clips and switch mongo pushing from trick-to-trick during some lengthy lines. Plus, it's just an iconic silhouette. The nostalgia is real nonetheless!

Fresh from the vault, éS continues to hit us with retooled classics for the new generation to explore. Looks to me like it's working. Oh, and just FYI, that kickflip about 40 seconds in is a thing of beauty. Sometimes it's best to just let your skating do the talking. Aimu clearly gets it.
