How Design Your Own Etnies Really Rule

Posted on Feb 19 in Travelling and Snowboardingby NickyPrint

Yeah, my custom etnies helped me become a much better skater. Hard to believe when you read this at first, but consider my reasoning.

Do you remember when you were younger the feeling you would get when you got a new pair of shoes? Especially if they were pumps, had lights, air bubbles or some other unique feature that made you feel like a superhero. I know I did and have a lot of friends that have described feeling like they could suddenly fly, were invincible or had otherwise been bestowed some divine form of superhuman power. I would run around for days showing off to everyone possible and bragging about my shoes.

Nowadays, since almost every conceivable and even inconceivable form of footwear has been created, worn and beat to death, getting a new pair of kicks just isn’t as special as it used to be, mainly when you know that nearly 100 million other people have the exact same shoes. This is where custom etnies make their grand entrance.

I’ve gone through a lot of skate shoes and can still remember when most were basically the same, so hanging with my skaters would mean that we were wearing identical shoes. I decided to go all out and give the “Design Your Own” feature a try and made my very first custom etnies. They were mostly black and had my nickname “Chavo” embroidered in white on the sides and let me tell you, they were much better than those “make your own custom skate shoes by spray painting some old crappy canvas shoes that you find laying in the back of the garage” types. If you know etnies, then you know that they make high quality skate shoes that can take a beating and with literally thousands of possible combinations, you can feel safe that your custom etnies are all you.

Here’s why I am a better skater because of this. First off, no, the custom etnies do not give physical powers that allow you to ollie higher, complete megaflips or travel through time (sorry to disappoint!), but what they did provide for me was transformation on a higher level. Skating is all about individuality and it may sound weird, but when you feel in your element, that you are individual and unique, you allow your personal style to flow through your skating. For me this meant skating faster, smoother and most importantly, happily, knowing that my new skate shoes were the envy of the town.

Design your own skate shoes today and make the town vomit with rage.
