Yeah I’m skating the high top suede versions of those same shoes and I would never dream of being able to get them to that point. My bag of flip tricks is way too small for that lol

It makes me remeber when Fallen was all new and sick and they had their destroyed shoes in their ads.

I still think they are the best shoes ads till this day.

She got a good switch game too. Looks like some serious 360 flip too. Only wear and tear im not seeinf is from heelflips.

This is a person who, when you look at their shoes, know they really skate

I never jumped on the Etnies bandwagon back in the day and I guess I missed that ship completely since it seems a lot of people hate them now? Anyways, for my first pair of Etnies ever, I got these Walmart models for under $20 last year and I just started trying them out. They seem fine…definitely not the best shoes ever but not bad and if my feet don’t break and they last more than a few months, I’d say it was worth it.



For the price, I bought two pairs so I’ll be on these for a while but after these, I might try NB and get my first pair of those ever too. Probably miss that train by the time comes too though.

Why are you all calling leggings pants?

Is that your pair, or is that actual official photo from etnies?

Those are mine. When I went to take a pic of them, noticed a household apparatus I’ve used to take pics of other things before was by the window so I tossed the shoes on it to take the shot.

I’ve made an effort to not be rude in the internet for no reason, but I’ve got to say, for me, those things are FUCKING HIDEOUS.
But at the same time, they look like they could be half decent to skate in.
And if you can get a that in shoe for 20$, I’m not sure if I’m more offended by their uglyness or jealous.

Haha, yeah they aren't the greatest but also not too bad considering I used to only skate hi-top Nike Basketball shoes in the 80's and I was originally considering the Etnies MC Rap Hi before I saw these. I don't really give a shit what they look like though, as long as they work and like you said...$20. Fuck it, worth the try.

Do you have any heel slip with them? I also got some Foy 80’s and I love them on feet but don’t wanna skate shoes that feel like they’re falling off.

Nah, as long as I tighten them down a little more than if I was just chilling in them I'm good! Worst case scenario I use the top eyelet but I haven't felt the need to do that with these.
