Holly sh@t..my brother had those

My brother is an amazing skateboarder and he is the one who introduced me to skateboarding at 5 years old and the snowboarding the following year.
As far as I can remember I always saw repairing his skateshoes with shoe goo, I really like the smell by the way.lol

One of the pair I had for a long time was the Etnies Rap, it was a big step forward in the skate world. And I just find out that Etnies are bringing them back....of course withe the technology upgrades, etc....

Driven to lead and inspired by action sport (Etnies)


I am going to be honest, they are a lot of good brands out there with sick design adn patterns.

I think Etnies is out there but why I like them goes beyond the shoes.

First of all it was created in 1986, just when I started skateoarding. Etnies is the only brand owned and created by a former world champion skateboarder.

In addition Etnies under the main company Sole Technology is looking at green materials and use green energy for the headquarter.

The owner also created a lab institute to study the impact of skateboarding on the human body. I got so many injuries while skateboarding that I am proud to say that those shoes are not only exclellent for style but also for great protection.
