Etnies Marana - My first impressions

They've been around forever but I've never skated them. How do the Etnies Maranas really skate? What's it like to break them in? Will they skate well?

[@fiore_adriano]

What's your favorite shoe?

[@tyer4946]

old skools or 306s

[@robolinoschmidt8676]

Nike sb ishod wair

[@JuanPerez49389]

Dunks are kinda my favorite rn cause I’m a wide-footer and they are wider than the average skate shoe. I’m looking forward to trying some Maranas one day

[@HENNOZINGER]

Vans wayvee

Soletech for life! Etnies, éS, Emerica. Support Skater owend business!

[@jcondition]

I'm surprised by how much Etnies have worked well for me compared to everything else. The Maranas and Joslins have been consistently good. Not having to worry about shoe madness anymore is a relief.

[@enochleung3889]

Always love seeing some influence from ben in ur videos, they’re like crossover episodes/cameos lol

[@liam_dawson]

“The marana’s man they do it themselves“ 💯

[@fiore_adriano]

😂

[@fd_skate]

The Maranas are really good! Also really comfortable! 👌

[@diplenski]

I’ve been skating Etnies since the ‘90s, currently have 3 pairs. They are solid, never had a bad/disappointing pair. The og Mc raps were an all-time favorite, the leather was much more durable than suede. Kinda surprised this is first you’ve tried them

[@fiore_adriano]

Dope! I’m interested in trying the raps next!

[@maga_skater4207]

I skate the Joslins and in my opinion they're the greatest skate shoe out there.. Etnies are OG and still killin it.. you had a sick session with new shoes and set up..

[@dadboard]

It took me like half the video to realize you weren’t at a skatepark, holy sh** that spot looks amazing 😻

[@steben7164]

es and etnies makes the best shoes fr

[@ilogicas]

Easy and slowly for my new shoes 😂 🥰 great shoes 🥰

[@SilentShadeShua]

Good job ! great work, you are only evolution..

[@dont4get2wipe]

Love my Joslins. The Michelin grip is no gimmick. They actually come with a half decent insole as well. Although ultimately I prefer FP Intercepts (Neen’s pro model).

[@fiore_adriano]

Nice! I should try Joslins next.

[@maga_skater4207]

@@fiore_adriano you should for sure

[@taterskater832]

@@fiore_adrianoI’ve been in some major shoe madness over the last year. I keep going back to the Joslin’s.

[@riffkeen_953]

impactwise .... would you say that it's a very good shoe ( without your FP insole?

[@randybotha4887]

Snapped my tail 2 days ago 😢 no skating for me until I get a new deck but until then I can enjoy your vids

[@abyzdoof8821]

i did not know about these, and only now just got hooked on vans. after i buy my first pair u’re telling me i can buy shoes with soles from Michelin themselves?!!? bro, i might have to expand my christmas funds

[@louirauloj]

I contacted Ben when he said he was giving a pair and thought why not who doesn’t like freebies, the last time I skated Etnies was like 10-12 years ago, I honestly hate cupsoles because they don’t have the board feel and grip I like but these are not like any other cupsole, you really nailed it when you said they’re predictable. I had no trouble adjusting to them and I am enjoying them a lot. Will probably get another when these die

[@fiore_adriano]

Awesome!

[@noelhynes8670]

I just finished skating a pair of etinis maranas and I think there the best shoe iv skated so far defo going be ordering another pair

[@HENNOZINGER]

TBH you have a beautiful nollie bs flip dude. Its one of those tricks I don't have and I don't understand them.Always hyped to see someone do a trick perfect you can't do yourself

[@fiore_adriano]

Thanks dude!

[@freelives5159]

👍👍

[@Riz2336]

It's funny how the eS swift 1.5 and the etnies marana look basically the same. I guess it doesn't matter since they're both sole tech brands. Personally I'd go with eS

[@shyn0o0]

For me the marana skated well, but they were kinda uncomfortable especially around my pinky toe. Probably have to get a size higher

[@fiore_adriano]

Yeah, I can see how the skinnier toe box would do that. Maybe need a half size up.

[@billymullins1357]

I had to return them I normally wear a 9.5 in most shoes but these were really tight. Just like Vans slip ons, I'd say go a half size up at least if you got a wider foot.

[@elpablo7049]

I like the es accel og

[@fiore_adriano]

I want to try those! I haven't skated them since 2004.

[@hou5eheadjason]

I saw some kids at the park with the yesterday with a new box of the 30 dollar walmart etnies , he was breaking them in

[@fiore_adriano]

Nice, I didn’t realize Walmart sold Etnies.

[@hou5eheadjason]

@fiore_adriano been seeing it on tik tok lately they have a Wal-Mart line now they look pretty good actually they're all 30$ , I wouldn't expect 80 dollar quality but the kid did they weren't bad

[@spht9ng]

The quality control is worse. there's a higher chance of defects and lower quality materials@@hou5eheadjason

[@zachaddington5264]

Show everybody how to hardflip I got them down myself I taught others maybe people here on the channel want to see I can 720 hardflip and 360 body varial

[@fiore_adriano]

You can 720 hardflip?

[@zachaddington5264]

Yes with a 360 body varial in it

[@mulldriftyr]
