etnies Marana

A shoe must have something truly special to offer for Ryan Sheckler to be so fully hyped on it that he doesn’t allow anything else on his feet (except, maybe highly experienced physiotherapists). However, it’s simply just a sick Pro-Model tailored perfectly for the Californian. Nowadays, of course, the Etnies Marana comes in several signature colourways, fabric combinations, and updates.

Crucial for its success is the robust construction of the shoe, which is specifically designed for stability, comfort and longevity. This features a double-stitched Ollie area, a rubberised toe and reinforced heel cap, as well as the 400 NBS rubber sole with a flexible profile with extra-thick rubber for additional impact protection. From the technical rider to the massive gap machine, with the Etnies Marana, you can walk home light-footed after a session.

Even more grip for your shoes, offers the etnies Marana x Michelin. In collaboration with the tire manufacturer Michelin, the compounds of the Marana’s 400 NBS outsole has been refurbished and equipped with a beefy car tire inspired tread. This new sole construction is supposed to make this shoe three times more durable than the regular Marana models. The flex grooves that you’ll find on the sole tread provide the cupsole construction with flexibility, reduced weight and superior boardfeel. No wonder that etnies pro Chris Joslin trusts in this shoe. You can order his and other etnies Marana x Michelin models online at the skatedeluxe skate shop.

Unlike all other Marana models, the etnies Marana Vulc, as the name implies comes with a vulcanized sole. This means one a tone of boardfeel. This shoe is so easy to break in that you can skate it right out of the box and it might only take you a couple of minutes to get used to it. Besides the vulc sole the etnies Marana Vulc also offers all the other features of the Marana Bloodline. The removable Foam Lite 1 footbed and the STI EVOLUTION® Foam insole provides excellent padding while the tongue is also reinforced, which gives you a lot of comfort. The etnies Marana Vulc is ideal for those who prefer vulcanized skate shoes like skatedeluxe teamrider Willow. Order his signature colourway and the whole range of etnies Marana Vulc skate shoes directly at the shop.

The popular basic concept of the Etnies Marana will hold true, no matter which of the different models you choose. The mid top, MT for short, offers more support for your ankles and higher stability in the shoe. In addition, the Etnies Marana MT models offer you all the same features as the original. In winter, you’ll be even more protected from moisture, as the mid cut ends higher on your ankle. Fans of flexible vulc soles with a lot of boardfeel will definitely be fans of the Vulc MT.

You don’t skate in the rain in the first place, but you need more support and maximum longevity for your shoe? Then check out the Etnies Marana XT models and revel in the latest technology, namely the STI Evolution Foam midsole and the 400 NBS rubber sole with a herringbone profile for flexibility. This way, you can easily take on the highest drops. If for you, boardfeel takes precedence over impact protection, you’ll definitely get your money’s worth with the Marana Vulc XT!
