About etnies: A Legacy Built On Board
Founded in 1986 by Pierre André Senizergues, etnies holds the distinct honor of being the first skateboarder-owned and operated global footwear company. Born from the heart of the skateboarding culture, the brand’s mission was clear: to create shoes specifically designed for the unique demands and relentless punishment of skateboarding. This authentic origin story has been the cornerstone of etnies’ identity, ensuring that every product is developed with a true understanding of the sport and its athletes.
