This show has a great fit and style. However, the bottom of the shoe has begun to come apart after a few days of wear.
I'm 43 and was skateboarding from 1991 to 2006. I never had other shoes than skateboard shoes since 1991. Never liked Etnies soles for skateboarding except for high impact shit like stairs or 8 feet ollies into the flat. But since 2016 I wear Kingpins only, because it's like walking on pillows and because i like the style. Oh and yeah, because almost every bone hurts but that wouldn't be the case if we would have had impact insoles like today.
These shoes are fantastic! With all the walking I have to do at work, they feel great and are sturdy!
Really nice looking kicks. Mostly quite comfortable too. Only issue I have is that the toe is kind of narrow, so extended wear can be a bit difficult.
This is a great hat for anyone who wants a stylish minimalist hat that looks good with anything. I definitely recommend it.
I have wide feet so had to go a half size up to 12 ,people like em, I love ‘em, good shoe
from the lack of multiple preview images and detailed product description, it appears to be exactly the same as the Nike "RPM" backpack. not quite though. even though it is advertised as being bigger (although, i question the legitimacy of the measurements for the 26L of the Nike Vs. the 31.5L of the Marana based on the overall matching designs...), it falls short in a few areas.
the is no preview of the back, because unlike the Nike RPM, it doesn't have any venting mesh. just plain Nylon like the rest of the bag. the laptop compartment padding does give the back padding, though. also, the carry handle is a single unreinforced 1-inch nylon strap loop that is folded in the middle to a strange feeling half inch wide handle. shoulder straps seem ok, there is reinforcement on the bottom of straps, but no real reinforcing at the top and no load straps. saying this though, it does have the same deep cell phone/glasses pocket that is made with a non-scratchy soft material by the handle. which is nice. inner pockets and side pockets are all the exact same. center Molle row isn't sown for some reason either.
biggest wear and tear issues that i noticed right away, without even needing to use the bag, were on the bottom. it's almost a sin to not have a rubberized bottom. which this doesn't. not only that, but the material actually feels a bit thinner than the upper when pinched and rolled around between my fingers. this will probably wear out before the rest of the bag... the bottom tension/bedroll straps are also less than 1-inch unreinforced straps.
in conclusion: i'm not super impressed out of the box. i'm replacing a 20yo Dakine "Park Pack". it was $75 at the time and, even though Dakine sucks now, its build quality was far superior to most stuff manufactured these days. Cordura makes a HUGE difference... one could do a lot worse for $120, though, especially these days... just kind of disappointing, because it should be an amazing modular backpack base, that is perfect for city skating as is, but could be converted into a great 72h camping backpack with a few add-on Molle bags. then it just falls short...
Great nice looking shoe I love them except the insoles could be a little more comfortable I can feel the outsole webbing, but still a great buy and awesome looking with the camouflage!
Had a pair back in High School, but these Etnies are awesome. I love them. 🙂
See the shirts awesome but the shoes you sold me for $102. The maranas that I had to buy a second pair at $102, due to the fact a dog ate my shoe the day after I got them. Just a couple days later those exact shoes are on sale for $50. That's bogus. Ps I love the shoes, just not how y'all did me like a weed guy selling Reggie at gas prices.
Like all of my etnies, these “rad” series in red are comfortable and have a slice of the 80’s with the helltrack insignia on the back and the holographic “rad” all over the sides Also a **** of a deal in the sale items for just under 30 bucks
These are thr best shoes ever! These will probably be the only shoes I buy ever again.
This is a high quality shoe that is log it weight and great design. I have multiple pairs. Great that they do larger sizes.
TEE is beautiful but size is very strange. I bought M size every time but this one is too short.
I have a mad massive dome and still have a few snaps available. Absolutely perfect hat.
