Did you get distracted filming this video? It ends up being about miniramp skating and your new board setup. Did Etnies actually say anything or just send product?
😂 you’re observant. They said they appreciate the feedback and that they are on the same page with a lot of it but it takes a long time for a big company to change course.
Hey Ben, I am a local skater. Where are these skate parks/spots? Its been more than a minute since I was a regular skater. 42 now. Just re-learned kickflip, healflip, the 360 flip is a work in progress. Those trasitions are looking pretty tasty. Flat ground with tired Dad legs is limiting.
Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy. Its a great way to encourage you to keep giving your honest thoughts, which we all appreciate and you’ve earned your trusted position in the community after all this time
man You gotta respect etnies for taking constructive critisizm and still blessing you with a giant box of product after you talked s*** on them for a half hour. LOL (agreed with all you said) now all i need is a better trick tip from u on how to do slide tail slides!!! much luv ben haha
I think they are taking example on last resort, which are very receptive to feedback, if not, fully built on feedback. Nowadays, in our new-capitastic world, customer feedback is the only thing that matters !! And it's great. The consumers builds the product.
Last Resort are so nice to deal with. I had a problem with the foxing tape on some shoes and they sent out another pair no questions. I sent them a message with a picture of the issue and they got back to me same day, didn’t ask me to return the ones I had. Literally the next day I had my replacement pair. Have to love it
I agree, he has shared in deep thoughts about skateboarding. Heck only the stuff about truck geometry related to board shape is worth gold. Not to throw shade on anyone but fashion is not my thing when talking about skateboarding and you can watch the 9 club episode with skate moss.
yo youre such an inspiration dude, youre the prime example of what not giving up on youtube can do. I see so many channels go hard for a couple years posting then stop when the traffics slow but youve overcome that a few times and some how are bigger than ever! Your contributions arent unnoticed man! You can honestly keep up with the best of them on flat and a ledge id love to see you get called up for batb influencers if they ever did it again. Congrats on all the recognition this last 2 years man and congrats on 100k
Maranas are amazing. I grew up skating them. They are good for anything. They don't feel bulky despite what most people think. You can skate low impact stuff with good enough board feel. Some thin flimzy shoes hurt my feet even after one day of low impact skating and the next day my feet are messed up. With these my feet never get hurt. No need to talk about big impact stuff. The insole + outsole foam combo is amazing. The upper lasts long too. I prefer the joslin version for having no rubber on the outside. It has rubber on the inside for when you wear through the sueuede.
you’re giving them a really valuable review. They can legitimately improve upon their models with the way you address every aspect of the shoes. Super cool man!
Buy you a pair of "shoe stretchers" Ben. I've got some. Perfect for helping to break shoes in faster and for those ones that are just a tad too tight like it sounds like some of yours are 👍 PS- saw a 10 year old doing back tails and kickflip indys on the 10ft deep end of the bowl the other day 🤯 blew my mind
I haven’t skated in months, but I must say that miniramp session got me hyped to skate. It’s sick seeing how the few new tricks you learned really opened up your lines, and you’re skating faster than ever on that transition it seems!
Hi Ben. Congrats on making contact with Etnies! Well deserved 👍. I'd love to have the "storm trooper" shoes! I'm in the Vancouver area. Keep the great work man! 🤘
I get the same issue with Skate Pro versions of Vans that have the "Duracap" rubber toe. They last longer and all that, but if they don't fit right, and they're a bit snug, they won't stretch at all.
The way ben was coming in on the axle stall revert,i was suprised he didnt slam earlier..it looked like it hurt!..@ first.."feels like it serves you right is so true..never looked at it that way..thanks ben!
31:19 After the G052 + Venture 5.6 lights combo, I might try the April 8.125" or 8.25" on the Ventures too, I guess. But I'm curious what you end up on :D
@@bendegros I also don’t have it at the moment, but the 8.25“ was very nice, so I might get the 8.125“ soon too. Had to adjust the back foot a lot compared to most BBS shapes though, but I kinda liked the quicker snap
just ordered a pair of Etnies last night after skating nothing but vans for 10 years. i decided to try something new and ordered a pair of Fps and unfortunately they are to big. so i was on the hunt for some new skate shoes and i got a sick deal on some Joslin X Bones
If a company doesn't take constructive criticism and use it to improve their business they don't care enough. Been rocking etnies for a while now. The joslins are the only shoe I've found that can put up with my abuse.
i have Joslins right now and maranas lasted wayyy longer for me personally but i still really enjoy Joslins. i think etnies is arguably the best skate company, but how is it that they have michelin soles, yet i got a hole in both of the soles (in Joslins) in only 3 months, while making every effort to not make one...
@@shawnskates i try to never use my foot to stop, especially now that i don't have money for new shoes lol. i guess it's just from adjusting my foot before tricks...
Hello Ben nice video, man so cool you got an answer from etnies. I'm waiting for your review on the new Aasics SB shoes, they just entered the skate industry.
I think Etnies should also let their designer throw a wildcard here and there, it’s been a while I feel like since a current-modern design has been the cool thing around and since the really big boys are playing it safe maybe Etnies might be in a good enough position to where they can shake things up a little …
One thing I do now to break in my shoes is actually stick them in the microwave for 30 sec, take out and flex around a bit and put back in for another 30 sec then put on , lace up and skate! I know it sounds crazy but actually learned it from P-Rod over on his channel! It def helps to stretch them out and mold perfectly to your feet.
You absolutely shredded that mini daddy ben. Also good to hear that etnies is responsive and willing to listen to constructive criticism, I’ve had a pair of mich maranas and I liked skating them despite how bulky they were.
I think Etnies with Michelin outsoles are more durable. The Swift have a bit wider toebox. If you're between sizes with éS and Etnies, the Swift might be for you.
I'm happy they're willing to listen to someone directly in the skateboarding scene since IG comments/DMs/customer service feedback falls on deaf ears with Soletech, sadly. So many good ideas they're missing out on by not tapping into that. Ben, you can bridge the gap!
I hope they start making the Raps again. Basically, the MC Raps in all brushed leather/suede, no 93 on the heel, one and two color colorways, and no holes in the brushed leather/suede. It's why I like the black MC Raps. All black, you can't see the holes, the 93 is faint, and they are all brushed leather/suede (except for 1 small piece of smooth leather on the side). I agree, with your other video, too. The Scams, too!
It looks like unintended sponsored video but I like Sole technology brands anyway. They are truly core skateboarding company that gave a lot to skateboarders and skateboarding history. I'm curious if you can review their Sal Barbier 23 from 90's 😅
Try the Estrella some time. The flick on fllatground flips is unmatched in my opinion. My favorite shoe in 20+ years so far. Had 3 pairs and 2 brand new. Don't want to go back anymore.
Hey Ben. I’ve been skating the Marana for years. When you first buy them they fita bit tight like you say… but… I wear them for a few weeks without skating them. This loosens them up a bit and then they are perfect. Maybe give that a try before you write them off?
I used to use a hair drier to heat up the rubber toe cap on Maranas and push against it for 5 to 10 minutes with my feet to get them to adapt to my foot shape.
i like Etnies, OG brand and price was never extortionate. had a pair in the early 2000's. They weren't my favourite in terms of style but the quality was good. I remember they felt harder than other brands which took a while to wear in, but they lasted longer than most of my shoes (DC, eS, DVS) I think my all-time favorite skate shoe brand was Duffs
Biggest flaw of the Marana is the mesh by the heel. I do a lot of heel flip trick and always blow through that part and then the shoe doesn’t fit snug.
You and I must have the same exact size feet, the Etnies Marana’s didn’t work for me because 10.5 was too small and 11 was too big, same thing with the eS Penny 2’s sadly. The eS Swift 1.5’s feel great size 10.5 and so do pretty much all vans shoes, except for the Wayvees for some odd reason. The Zhaba’s feel awesome btw size 10.5, highly recommend. 🤙🏻

Those yellow and white shoes that you were skating are so freaking gorgeous.
That Degros court park is looking mighty nice Ben. And you still have some expansion space. Glad the knee is getting better.
In my experience, the Marana will stretch.. I walk them in for like 2 weeks and they are perfect.

Woah! Ben's officially sponsored by Etnies. Now we just need that welcome to the team street part 😉🥳
Getting shoes as a person who makes youtube videos is not the same as being sponsored.

The Etnies Hook-ups shoes were my favorite
100k now ?!
damn!
keep it up!
I used to use a hair drier to heat up the rubber toe cap on Maranas and push against it for 5 to 10 minutes with my feet to get them to adapt to my foot shape.
I love it when "one last try" turns into three hours of 'I refuse to give up!'
Also, heck yeah, Marana Michelins FTW 🤙
Living the skate dream❤
The Etnies LO's from the 90s were my favorite shoe. I wish they would remake those...The Windrows look pretty close to them
the purple mc rap highs with michelin sole look sick, even with the 93
Now all I need is for my local shops to restock on Etnies. Been wanting to try them for quite a while now.
Marana is my first Etnies shoe ever and I love them.

The Maranas look good on you for sure
Man I saw the joslin 2's the other day they look so good, so sick with the velcro.
brown/gum doesn't necessarily make me think of Tom Penny but it definitely makes me think of Sole Tech. They do it best.
Biggest flaw of the Marana is the mesh by the heel. I do a lot of heel flip trick and always blow through that part and then the shoe doesn’t fit snug.
I figured that might be the case just by looking at them.

The side of the ramp you don't like is heavily shaded by trees.
Coming into or out of shaded areas is huge in ball sports like baseball especially. So that totally makes sense.
It messes with your vision.
Even when it’s in the sun I still land less on that side.

3:27 that's "I work in construction" shoes. LoL
the brown/gum etnies always look good
i had 2 pairs of the og mc rap in the jordan colorway, red/blk/wht leather, they were one of my all-time favorite skate shoes. i got them on clearance for like $30-$35 back then(mid-late '90s). i kinda thought they looked goofy, like clown shoes, but they grew on me. it's usually the loud/goofy colorways that go on sale for cheap, and i don't care bc they gonna get shredded anyway. i did get compliments on them though, or people thought they were jordans. the leather was so much more durable than the suede ones and the suede ones weren't even bad.
The slam! I went “ oooooooh “ 🤣
Yes I had the vulcanized maranas and they were hell to break in. They are way too narrow at the toe
Man, I ordered some raps and they just feel too big. I feel like I gotta choke em out to not slip off the feet. But at the same time my toes are touching the very end of the shoe. Idk I guess they just won’t be skateable for me. Too big , yet I can’t go any smaller. If that makes any sense
That’s a bummer. I have a narrow foot but they fit me pretty nice. Must just be narrow in different spots.
@@bendegros small world! I skated with Marty^ back in the winter of 2000/2001in San Diego - maybe with Jimmy Lacasse or Martin Vasquez?

Hi Ben, does the MC RAP LO have tongue straps? Can’t find any info anywhere.
Ben please do a quick front crook tutorial if u get a chance.I just want to hear ur perspective on the trick.
The MC Rap Lo X Bones are a very comfortable shoe.
I love the way the Maranas look but I’ve tried to break them in and they just kill my left foot.. very uncomfortable….
Brown and gum is the best color way
I love it when Ben uploads
28:41 that was tight!
I personally think axle/50-50 to fakie is easier coming in off the back truck like a pivot, less risk for hanging up on the front. To each their own!
Man I haven't skated Etnies since I was a kid, maybe I'll pick up a pair. I mean inherintly I did kind of because I rode the Emerica Reynolds line for like 7 years straight lol.
congrats Ben!!
Ben, have you tried Etnies' Veer? Pretty classic, no rubber toe cap, similar to the Rap but without the 93 on there.
A quarter size too small is my life, but as a 12 I don't have the option to try a 12.5. I get excited when I hear about a shoe that runs large.
I’m a size 12 and I have the same issue.
Much love for the brown E!
