ისტორია
Established in 1986 by former professional skateboarder Pierre André Sénizergues, Etnies was the first skateboarder-owned footwear company. It gained historical significance by introducing the Natas, the industry's first pro model skate shoe, in 1987. The brand transitioned from a European startup to a global entity within the Sole Technology portfolio. Its influence persists through technical innovations in impact protection and long-standing support for professional athletes across multiple extreme sports disciplines.
