Ultimate skate shoes from the Etnies Michelin Collection
31st March 2020 | 0 comments
Etnies in its Spring Collection 2020 comes with models of skate and bike shoes, which are virtually indestructible thanks to the Michelin sole they are equipped with.
Etnies experienced their first Michelin sole debut with their Marana model already in 2017. However, they didn't stop developing innovative products with exceptional style, comfort and protection up to these days. The Spring 2020 collection now boasts new shoe models with a unique, indestructible outsole from a brand that also has one of the world's most durable tires in its portfolio.
Durability and performance translated from tires
The original Marana shoes from Etnies were quite durable, but their soles were not as resistant as their upper. In an effort to improve this skate shoe and put the quality on the level of the riders' needs, Etnies has teamed up with one of the world's top premium rubber manufacturers to translate the performance and durability of Michelin tires into the shoe sole.
"The Michelin Marana saved my life. I swear the tire rubber compound helped with heel bruise. I got none when they should've exploded."
Chris Joslin, pro rider
Bike models in the collection
Etnies definitely doesn't forget even about the bike riders in the development of its products. The Michelin collection also includes Marana Crank models from a special bike collection. Thanks to their shape and materials used, they provide a great pedal feel and therefore an excellent two-wheel riding experience.
