etnies is a small-to-mid-sized global maker of footwear and apparel for action sports, based in Lake Forest, California. Rooted in skateboarding since 1986, the company traces its origins to being skateboarder-owned from the start. It has contributed to skate footwear with early innovations, including a pro-model skate shoe, and continues to pursue designs that emphasize performance, comfort, and protection. Its products are aimed at riders and enthusiasts who need durable, performance-oriented gear for demanding environments, and the company operates globally in the sporting goods manufacturing sector with strong ties to its skate roots. A notable recent development is the 2024 introduction of the SLB line, with Sal Barbier appointed as creative director.
