poser shoes, real skaters wear shoes like es, Osiris, DC, ect...

Etnies are the shoes that people wear when they like the look of skate shoes but dont actually skate, thus the above defenition, poser shoes. (Vans also fall into this catagory.)
Bob:Dude i just bought a new pair of etnies! Im so skater-like!!!
Skater George: Those shoes are poser shoes. U need to buy some real sk8 shoes like es's. Or not buy skate shoes at all and buy Nikes, queer.

evil shoes that everyone has. especially people who don't skate. also a clothing line that people who dont skate wear, and people who do skate, well, hate.
screw etnies. i got them cuz no one else in my school had them, now EVERYONE has them, so i disown them, and will some day, leave them in a body bag in a big green dumpster. yup.for now, i'm fucking stuck wearing them. FUCKING PACSUN, SELLING CLOTHS AND SHOES LIKE THAT! BAH! if you don't skate, stick with sketchers er chucks, er something.

A young sweet girl that laughs for everything and has a very creative mind. She is always there for you when needed. Consider your self really lucky if you meet a girl named Etni.
Etni is just so funny and her smile is the cutest

Comfortable shoes that feel like youre walking on clouds. Angry skaters will say that Im posing for wearing them but I dont wear them to look like a skater, Im not insecure about my appearance, and I wear them for the sole purpose that they feel great. Nikes are like thin cardboard shoes compared to these so any skaters tellin me im posing are retarded and have their own issues to deal with (the fact that they get all menstrual about a pair of fucking shoes)
If you want a comfortable reliable pair of shoes,for whatever purpose, go with etnies.
If you care about how "cool" you are wearing etnies...it doesnt matter what shoe you wear you have deeper issues i suggest you take care of.

Horrible Shoes that only posers and girls that no nothing about skateboarding and wear them because they think that makes them "skaters". Well guess what it doesn't.
Poser: DOOD I GOT THESE SWEET ETNIES LAST NIGHT!!!!ONE!!!
Real skateboarder: Etnies are stupid and only posers wear them, besides they're all the same besides the color.

A very, Very durable shoe. Most people believe that Etnies are for posers, and may be they're right. But these shoes are INCREDIBLY comfortable and last forever!
Dude I bought these Etnies Maranas last year. they look still brand new.
