Etnies Skate Shoe – Marana Michelin
When it comes to skate shoes that can handle the grind, the Etnies Skate Shoe – Marana Michelin stands at the top. Designed for skateboarders who demand performance, durability, and comfort, the Marana is built to push progression without compromise. Every detail of this shoe was engineered with purpose—from the Michelin outsole to the reinforced upper—so you can skate longer, harder, and with more control than ever before.
At its core, the Marana was built to solve a simple problem: skate shoes wear out too fast. That’s why Etnies teamed up with Michelin, one of the most respected names in traction and tire technology, to reinvent the outsole from the ground up. Using a specialized rubber compound inspired by Michelin’s high-performance tires, the outsole on the Marana is proven to be three times more durable than standard skate shoe soles. You’ll notice the difference right away—whether you’re pushing down the street, flicking kickflips, or landing big sets, the grip stays consistent, and the tread holds up session after session.
But the Michelin outsole isn’t the only thing that sets this shoe apart. The Etnies Marana Michelin Skate Shoe features a fused-on rubber toe cap that adds serious protection against wear from flicks and drags. This seamless construction helps prevent blowouts and keeps the shoe looking cleaner for longer. The hidden lace loops protect your laces from shredding during flips, so you can focus on skating—not re-lacing.
Comfort is another area where Etnies refused to cut corners. The STI Evolution Foam midsole absorbs impact and cushions landings, giving you that extra bit of protection when you need it most. Pair that with a padded tongue and collar, and you’ve got a fit that feels stable, supportive, and broken-in right out of the box. Whether you’re skating street, park, or just cruising, the Marana provides the kind of comfort that holds up from your first trick to your last.
This is a cupsole construction shoe, meaning you get the best of both worlds: solid impact protection with reliable board feel. The outsole design offers flex grooves for better movement and natural foot motion, while still delivering the durability that cupsoles are known for. The tread pattern—developed alongside Michelin—maximizes contact with your board and the ground, giving you unmatched grip and control no matter where you ride.
Every element of the Etnies Skate Shoe lineup represents years of testing, feedback, and evolution. The Marana is no exception—it’s the result of collaboration between professional skaters and engineers who understand what makes a shoe last under real-world conditions. Trusted by top riders and praised for its longevity, the Marana has become a staple in skateboarding for those who value performance that doesn’t fade after a few sessions.
Whether you’re putting in hours at the park, filming for your next edit, or simply looking for a shoe that can handle everyday wear, the Etnies Marana Michelin Skate Shoe is built to deliver. It’s rugged, reliable, and refined—made for skaters who want their gear to keep up with their drive.
