Etnies sent me a pair of shoes, so this video is basically me geeking out, unboxing them, and talking through what I actually look for in a skate shoe. I’m on my board a lot (and I’m usually filming it too), so I care about stuff like boardfeel, durability, and how the shoe holds up when you’re doing the same tricks over and over. I also shout out where you can grab the exact Etnies I’m riding, plus my discount code. I also run through the rest of my setup and the stuff that makes my sessions smoother—tools, wheels, trucks, bearings, grip, and the little things that keep a board feeling solid. Since I’m always bouncing between skateparks and travel missions, I include the camera gear I use to film these videos too. If you’re trying to build a reliable setup or you’re just curious what I’m skating and filming with right now, this one’s a quick, simple breakdown.
