What Happened to Etnies?

If you remember Etnies from when they broke into the footwear scene in 1986 and rose to prominence in the skating community in the 2000s, you may think that the skating shoe brand is defunct. However, that is untrue. Etnies is still kicking—no pun intended—and sells shoes on their site etnies.com . The skating footwear brand was founded in 1986 by retired professional skateboarder Pierre André Sénizergues. Since that time, he has consulted skateboarders on shoe design and merchandising.

Are Etnies True to Size?

It is commonly held that Etnies run a little bit small. Many customers of Etnies and lifelong skaters who wear Etnies suggest buying the shoes about a half size up to ensure that your foot has plenty of room to flex in the shoe and that there is plenty of room in the toe box so you don’t get pinched toes.

Are Etnies Good Skate Shoes?

Etnies are known not only for their cool look but also for their durability and their surprising amount of arch support. This makes them excellent skating shoes that really stand up to every grind, flip, and stunt in your skating repertoire. They are also known for being flexible and lightweight, making them a favorite among the skateboarding and BMX biking communities.

Are Etnies Still Cool?

Etnies have been a cool skating and BMX footwear option since they launched in the 80s and 90s. With tons of colors in their traditional low top Marana style, there is a pair for every skater. They also make high top styles for additional ankle support and a modern look. If slip-ons are more your style, there’s the Marana Slip, which are the iconic low top style that Etnies are known for but with a slide-on, laceless front. Any style of Etnies you choose will keep you supported on your skateboard and looking cool even when you’re off of your skateboard.

Where to Buy Etnies

You can find the popular skating and BMX footwear brand online on their own website at etnies.com.

If you’re looking for Etnies, you can also find them at Amazon, Glik’s, Eurostar locations, at local and boutique skating shops across the US, at surf shops in numerous cities, and more. If you’re in doubt of where to find Etnies in person and you’d like to try them on, your best bet will likely be to call the skating and biking shops in your area.

With all things ’90s in trend, Sole Technology CEO Pierre -Andre Senizergues is revamping one of his company’s skate brands that dominated the era: Etnies .

Out now is the Etnies Icons Collection, a lineup of classic shoes from the brand that avid skateboarders rocked when they first hit the streets.

The first Icons drop was sold at select retailers including  Journeys , Eastbay, Size?, Skatedeluxe and Blue Tomato. However, Senizergues confirmed that the second release, slated for spring ’19, will be offered in more stores and feature more sneakers. 

Here, the  exec talks ’90s fashion, how Icons came to life and his plans to recharge other Sole Technology-owned brands.

What are the skate industry’s biggest  opportunities right now?

“The ’90s trend. It’s where skateboarding exploded in terms of creativity, exposure and people wearing the product in the streets. I also think the Olympics two years from now will bring a lot of exposure and talk around skate. And high fashion right now is very connected with skateboarding; the most important trends come from us. Virgil Abloh with Louis Vuitton, for example — there’s a lot of skate influence in the shoes. I see some designs and say, ‘We did these in the ’90s.’ It’s clear for somebody who designed shoes at that time. And the same with other high-fashion brands, as well, from Hermès to Chanel.”

How are you capitalizing on the ’90s  fashion revival?

“People are knocking on our door right now, and retailers are seeing the ’90s trend and think there’s going to be a cup sole trend. Etnies is a very strong brand in that area. And there’s a movement to reconnect with brands you lost touch with. You see [it with] brands from back in the day, like Fila — people recognize them and buy them again, or new consumers think it’s cool and new, and get into it.”

Fall ’ 18 included the Etnies Icons Collection.  How did you develop that series?

“It came from retailers asking us to bring back shoes from the ’90s in the U.S. and the U.K. For example, John Lore from Journeys has been asking for a while to bring back the Czar. So we looked in our archive and identified the shoes that were the most appropriate, like the Senix, which is one of the first I designed. [The collection] also came from people on our team and consumers. We listen to our customers on Instagram and social media, and now we’re bringing back those styles [they requested]. What’s unique is, we tried to replicate exactly the way the shoes were made — same outsole, upper, flex, cushioning system. I was surprised because I went skating in the first sample, and even though skateboarding has evolved since the ’90s, they still felt like extremely good skate shoes — still extremely grippy, with good cushioning and a good board feel.”

Who are Etnies’ biggest competitors?

“Vans, because we’re in the same space. And also DC — they’re bringing back some of the ’90s. But for the type of look we are doing — a wider outsole with more rubber so it’s comfy, a taller sidewall and some rubber on the toe — not many brands born in the ’90s have that. It’s Etnies, DC, éS.”

Are there plans to revamp your other  skate brands?

“Definitely éS, because we have a lot of momentum in the era — it exploded in the ’90s. It has that athletic look that’s trending right now, so there’s a lot of interest around éS. As far as Emerica, it’s a pure skateboarding brand, so it’s really strong at core skate retail accounts, so we don’t have plans to expand the distribution right now.

4. Attend a Major League Baseball Game under the Lights
