MICHELIN COLLECTION

The Marana Michelin is etnies’ durability benchmark for a reason. It pairs a Michelin rubber outsole engineered to last up to 3× longer with a fused toe cap, hidden lace loops, and an STI Evolution Foam midsole for impact protection. The result is a skate shoe built to handle real-life sessions.

Michelin rubber gives etnies shoes more than just a badge. It brings purpose-built compounds and tread patterns designed for longer wear, insane grip, and strong board feel. On models like the Marana Michelin and Serin Michelin, that means more response from the outsole and more confidence when you’re skating hard, not just walking around.

If impact protection is the priority, go with Marana Michelin. It is the clearest answer for heavy skating, stair sets and long sessions because it combines a supportive cupsole, Michelin outsole durability and a protective midsole. If you want something a little lighter, look at Serin Michelin or other cushioned cupsole models with more padding than slim vulc styles.

Because durability is literally where the brand started. Pierre-André launched etnies after blowing through shoes too fast and wanting footwear that could survive real skateboarding. That thinking still drives the line today: longer-lasting outsoles, reinforced wear zones, better cushioning and less waste when a shoe can survive more sessions.

The Michelin collection brings together etnies shoes built on advanced rubber tech for longer outsole life, strong grip and board feel. If durability is high on your list, start here. Models like Marana Michelin, Serin Michelin and select Camber MTB shoes translate that tech into skate or ride-ready performance depending on the build.

Skate for Change is etnies’ give-back program for nonprofit and grassroots organizations using skateboarding to create positive change for young skaters. It supports these groups with gear, funding, and visibility so they can build community, teach life skills, and create safer places to ride. It’s Etnies putting action behind the culture, not just talking about it.
