Etnies Skate Shoes & Apparel

Etnies Footwear isn't just a skate brand; it's a historical artifact. Founded in 1986 in France by Pierre-André Senizergues, Etnies was the first skateboarder-owned shoe company, setting the precedent for authenticity in the entire industry. Like Amateur Athlete, Etnies has nearly four decades of experience, evolving through every phase of skate shoe design, from the slim vulcanized models of the early 90s to the beefed-up tech designs and back again. Their team has always been top-tier, pushing the limits of street, vert, and everything in between. When you buy Etnies, you’re supporting the blueprint for skater-owned business, getting a shoe built on generations of trial and error to ensure performance and durability.
