The history of Etnies
Etnies was established in 1986. Started by skateboarders, Etnies became the first skateboarder-owned-and-operated skate shoe and clothing company. Pioneers of the modern skateboarding shoe industry, Etnies created the first pro model skate shoe and led early advances in skate shoe technology, changing the face of the skateboarding footwear industry forever.
When you think of a modern skate shoe, the Etnies logo on the side of a deluxe skate shoe quickly comes to mind. Etnies are pioneers of the skate shoe that integrates the best protection and highest quality construction in a shoe that helps prevent bruising while not taking away board feel and control. Today, Etnies continues to sponsor a world class team of skateboarders, surfers, snowboarders, motocross and BMX riders, and continues its dedication by giving back to each of these communities.
Zumiez proudly carries a selection of Etnies shoes, like the Etnies Fader, Etnies Charter, and Etnies & Metal Mulisha collaboration shoes.
