ANIMAL‑FRIENDLY

Since 1996. Etnies has always pushed skate footwear forward—and that innovation extends to compassion. Back in 1996 we launched Sheep, an all‑synthetic, animal‑friendly line, making us one of the very first skate brands to offer animal‑friendly shoes. Today, that pioneering spirit lives on across our men’s, women’s, and kids’ ranges.

 

COMPASSION MEETS PERFORMANCE

Every animal‑friendly etnies style is built with the same boardfeel, durability and style you expect—just without animal‑derived materials. Select colorways are crafted entirely from premium synthetics, canvas, or recycled textiles, so you can skate (or chill) with a clear conscience.
