I like this iteration of Etnies, hope they do more with this squad. Aidan’s pole jam crook was so rad

That was sick. Definitely gonna watch it again. Like @Arto!Arto!WakeUp! said. With out the energy drink dudes Etnies team is cool. Keep doing this! Also the slip on cup with the Michelin sole was durable as fuck. Wish it was still available. The wino cup is more comfy though.

love how there's no filmer credit at the end or in the description. but clearly looks like mostly if not all Don footage? a big change from the Manzoori edits from the last 10 years, which were unfortunately pretty forgettable. and I loved Manzoori's filming for TIS.

i'm down with the Foundation-heavy presence. sort of parallels the Toy-Emerica linkage.

Peter Freeman actually filmed almost all of this, I believe!

I liked that lil edit. Any Boston heads know if Julian's kf fs noseslide (around 1:22) was at the JFK Fountain ledge?

Is this Etnies combat division? Joslin, sheckler, and Aurelien have their own thing?

I've been skating since the late nineties and Etnies has never once been cool in that span. I guess I came after the Sal 23 era

Tricks were great, but somehow the filming felt strangely distant/disconnected for me. Maybe it was the combination of filming, b-roll and music. I wish it would have felt more engaging. But anyways, didn't expect it from Etnies

Always happy to see Barney Page skate. Good for Etnies.. they never seemed to hold a team long enough for a full length and now I guess they can hook up more underrated rippers and [hopefully] put out more frequent edits.

Yeah it is the fountain. Like 3/4 of the video was in Boston. Wasn’t expecting that. Good video.

They came out with a full length a few years ago and it was one of the most boring and unforgettable videos ever put out.

I feel like it’s cause emerica and es had such distinctive, defining teams and styles since they launched Etnies never got to have brand image post the additions. But at the same time how do you fuck up having both bastien and arto at their peak?

Fuck, you’re right! I definitely didn’t watch it.. what they hired a fellow skater to create the soundtrack or something?? Damn.

This is standard issue “the video was better than I expected but it will not influence my purchasing power.”

To be fair, what could Etnies possibly do to make the average skater buy their shoes. I'm not sure I would even wear them if they were given to me for free.

If they're angling to be hip, I'd sooner start a new company and ditch the eternal linger of 20+ years of Mike V, Sheckler, Joslin and motocross.

To be fair, Etnies is selling well because their main target group are park skaters who just want solid durable shoes and dont care about trends and such. And that target group is huge and actually describes the average skater.

There you go. I never would of guessed. To be fair I don't live in the USA and probably haven't seen anyone wearing a pair since 2001 so probably aren't the best person to be providing comment on such things

Etnies Marana is the number 1 recommended shoe on reddit. It's a tank, and they've been in production for so long you can find them reasonably priced

Everytime I see someone skating a Etnies shoe, its a Marana. Always. Except this one guy in my local park who rips super hard, and he always skates the first Joslins, but that os basically the same shoe.
