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.

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.

the coolest brand of shoes. also a bmx, surfing, snowboarding, and skating team. Ryan Scheckler is one of the most popular members of the skating team.etnies are expensive as hell, but worth it. very comfortable and durable.

Etni is a cute and short girl. She has a unique personality that's one of a kind, shes a bombass female that is one to keep around.
Etni loves to ride her skateboard and is an amazing person and to whom she ever dates will be the most lucky guy.

Etnies is an American footwear brand based in Lake Forest, California and owned by Sole Technology, Inc. with roots deeply embedded in skateboarding. etnies is primarily a maker of footwear designed for skateboarding, but in more recent years etnies has also created shoes and clothing for snowboarders, BMX and motocross riders, as well as surfers.
Started in France in 1986, the brand's original name was Etnics, derived from the word "ethnic," which was a nod to the skateboarding sub-culture. It was later renamed etnies due to legal issues. In 1989, Pierre-André Sénizergues took charge, making it the first skateboard shoe brand owned by a professional skateboarder.
etnies is considered to be the most accessible of Sole Technology's brands. While its other brands, éS Footwear and Emerica, focus more narrowly on skateboarding shoes, etnies has a broader appeal, designing shoes for toddlers, as well as etnies Girl, a line for girls and women. 1
etnies sponsors many professional action sports athletes in sports such as skateboarding, snowboarding, surfing, BMX, and motocross.
