Sole Tech announced that they are putting their éS brand on hiatus to focus on the other better performing parts of the business while they navigate some pretty rough times in skate retail.

It’s a damn shame to see them go – Pierre André Senizergues, Sole Tech’s owner, has given an interview to Shop-Eat-Surf about the closing and other Sole Tech news which you can read over here.
