Doesn’t look like a diss to me.

You look super happy to have that marana, and for good reason. That’s some good looking maranussy.
Thanks y’all. It’s been fun.

I don't know if you have seen that guy's videos (I've got no shade to throw at him personally) about collecting skate shoes, but some people in the comments like to bag on him for their own insecure reasons. It makes sense @Freelancevagrant doubles down on dissing me for having an opinion based on that

It's obviously not me, but that all black Marana is a good looking shoe

Reminds me of this gem  :D  https://youtu.be/vBNFQhr4O20?feature=shared

I was being facetious with actually thanking them via a gnar. I could hit back with worse insults but then I'd have to stoop to their sad level to throw out unrelated character attacks at someone online for having an opinion. Don't need that kinda negativity in 2024, they've got that insufferable corner taken care of. That's an insult they brought on themselves.

Guy at my local dresses like Aurelian Giraurd and snakes everyone wearing exclusively etnies. No obstacles is off limits when he needs to set up his go pro tripod.  Instead of flowing people, etnies should pay people like that dude to not wear their shoes.

I don’t agree with you at all in this thread, but I respect that you’re true to yourself and stick to your convictions. FWIW

I’m not gonna read all this stuff so I’m just going to say this again- their shoes are comfy on my feet so i hope they don’t go under. I couldn’t care less about their marketing.

If they do go under though I’ll be stoked to buy a few years worth of shoes at a discount

How is posting a pic of an unrelated guy reviewing the shoe a diss when there are a bunch of other people online who have reviewed the Maranas? The same guy also reviews corpo shoes.



Seems like you are just making fun of this random YouTuber's looks for absolutely no reason.

Nope haven’t seen his videos. But he does look stoked to have that great looking, well performing shoe in his hand.

You keep standing tall, king. All those peasants will keep arguing over whether they would rather put up with pain in the feet with Blazers, or ugly looking supportive dad shoe N’s.

etnies should pay you guys to stop posting about their shoes because at this point i’d gladly take foot pain or ugly dad shoes over being associated with this sanctimonious attitude

plus then you’d actually have a reason to be so involved in this third party’s affairs

Hell yeah. Send me some free shoes and pay me. ;D

I’m just having fun. And sharing my love for Etnies. (Emerica I have no love for… not after the SSD OG-1’s last year debacle. And éS I have no idea: the Accel looks like a great shoe)

You stay strong in your hate for Etnies, King. I hope your shoes don’t fall apart in three weeks, or your feet don’t hurt, or you can live with the shame of having awful looking N’s and way too many curves and lines on your feet when you skate 8)

Thanks y’all. It’s been fun.

Oh but this is a thread about shoes isn't it?
The "hours" thread made me realize something:
All good looking skate shoes are alike; all ugly skate shoes are ugly in their own way.

I voted no, as I want ES Accel Slims to keep existing.

 I'd never buy a pair of Nike or Adidas - as I don't care for either company. The 4 pairs of NB 440, high and low I've had/got are pretty good shoes too, but I can skate significantly better in ES Accel Slims - and I don't care how they look or how supposedly "average tech" they are - for me they skate great.

If Sole Tech dies, it’s their own fault. The consumer shouldn’t shoulder the blame.

Have you actually read the thread? The most sanctimonious and judgmental people in here are the Nike fanboys talking about corporate ethics and acting like jocks.

Not sure what the time table on this is but appears Emerica has rehired Jeff Henderson to help out with their restructuring. Not sure if this is pre or post recent employee purge, but here's an interview with him

Selling direct to consumer the way they do undoes any credibility Soletech has as a “core” company. 

This could be unrealistic, but why not have a shop selector on their site so your order gets fulfilled by a geographically appropriate shop?
