BEST SHOE EVER

I’ve always been a fan of Etnies since I was in high school which has been 15+ years. Finally came back and I’m so glad I did. Love the Calicut; they’re comfortable, and they look good with every outfit

Sal 23 reissue

The shoes are a 5/5. They are very much the same shoe from back in the day! I am happy with the sneakers. I wish Etnies put my shoes in a box before they mailed me them. They used a BAG , so the shoebox was destroyed. Luckily the shoes weren’t damaged! Use a cardboard box instead of those grey/white bags! I collect sneakers so the box is important to me also. I’m knocking one point for the box. Otherwise great sneakers!

Sole unglued in less than 2 months

My 10 year old tore through these shoes in less than 2 months of use. Sole just unglued. The previous brand we used (lakai) stood much better. This is just disappointing and feels like wasted money.

Probably best quality skate shoe ever,honestly!!!..

These shoes I've had for 4 years and the treads on the bottom are still perfectly intact the only thing is is I bought two pairs and in one of the pairs the front of the shoe kind of came unglued a little bit in the front but that was it they were perfect after 4 or 5 years. So the black souls were Etnies 5 years old. The grey souls are some of the best Vans on the market not even a year and already treads are done.

Light, grippier, comfy!

These are ready to skate pretty much out of the box, the sole is 300 nbs and is softer which adds to board feel on a cupsole shoe! That's pretty sick on it's own, Ventilation is perfect, weight is on spot, if coming from vulcanized shoes then these are the perfect transition shoes to cupsole shoes, they are also very stylish, they are better the the cheaper version like the Ollie and the watered down escapes, 100 % recommended

Tanks!

These are tanks! They take a while to brake in, they are very sturdy, the inner side wall is very sturdy too I like that, it could be improved the nose trend to crimp a little on the leather, also being a very stiff shoe I think adding some air pockets would be dope, they almost fell like my d3's , over all I love them .

MARANA BACKPACK
Josh (Peterborough, CA)
Honest review after a few months of use.

the state of the skate backpack market is really sad right now. this is probably one of the best, though. saying that, it has some pros with a lot of cons.

because of the laptop compartment that has velcro flap thing at the bottom to separate the charging block, the main compartment feels more like a mid-size bag. i use mine for groceries and frozen pizza box needs corner bent to fit. six of talls, some limes in the mesh and some munchies fits perfect tho lol.

straps are comfortable with and without sternum strap, and they have mesh venting, but back doesn't have mesh and there is no waist strap. so, every time you pop the thing flops around, also, the straps should have the "yolk" design to increase carry weight potential while prevent tearing. carry strap is just plain disappointing.

molle system is great, but don't know if they really intended people to use them as they don't sell any branded add-on bags. got some standard molle bags from Amazon. was an extra $40, but overall worth it considering slight lack or organization features.

single molle row on the sides are limiting. causing anything attached to hang and flop around. should be two rows. might be cost saving, might only be for carabiner type stuff, but short sighted.

side bags/water bottle holders are decent. however, zipper pockets are thin, so can't put in anything substantial, though, especially at the same time as a bottle e.g. wallet or skate tool.

material is ok, and that would be ok, if it wasn't the same material EVERYWHERE. tbh, if this is designed for skateboarding, then only 800d+ or an industrial diamond dobby stitch material with a reinforced bottom, and, if equipped with skateboard harness, some sort of extra durable possibly synthetic reinforcement where the grip is guaranteed to wear the bag.

overall probably a 7/10.

MARANA MICHELIN
Xross (Toronto, CA)
One of the best skate shoes

It's very stylish, although I customized with my laces, the black laces can't go wrong.
Michelin Outsole survived, not only, 3-6 hours of learning sessions including ollie variations but also way I walk/ride my shoes, I am very forceful on my heel region.

Overall, very useful shoes and it will save me money as ordinary shoes live short for me. It's true to size. I have wide feet, it fits pretty good. Don't forget to redo laces!

MARANA MICHELIN X SANTA CRUZ

Wish I knew about these sooner

These shoes are crazy comfortable and practical. Unlike most of my skate shoes, the outside toe area doesn’t tear from ollies and kickflips. They’re grippy, supportive and incredibly durable. Perfect for skating, but I’ve also started using them for street soccer, casual walking etc. They’re also the kind of shoe you can leave tied and still slip your foot into (which I love because I’m lazy). I recommend going a half size up cause there’s a lot of cushioning which makes the shoe tighter.

These shoes are awesome especially for someone like me who has trouble finding size 15 shoes I have been wearing etnies since I was a teenager and will continue to buy them

MARANA MICHELIN X SANTA CRUZ

Great shoe overall

The Marana has been a great, ultra-durable skate shoe since I first started wearing them a few years ago. Not too tech and they offer no-nonsense support and grip. I also like the low-key style. I wasn’t a fan of the ‘Santa Cruz’ flame logo on the heel. I couldn’t see that clearly in the photo online and would have ordered another colour way had I saw a clear picture of the back of the shoe. Not a huge deal because it’s a great shoe, but perhaps posting pics of the backs of shoes - or at least on models with extra graphics - would help. Thanks!
