Etnies Kingpin: Iconic skate shoes reimagined for the street

Durable, classic and ready for all-day action, the Etnies Kingpin sneaker is a timeless skate shoe that remains a staple with sports fans, streetwear enthusiasts and fans of good-looking footwear. With suede and leather as the primary textiles for the shape, the Kingpin is slick enough to wear with men’s designer sweatshirts and chinos for dates, as much as with long shorts and tees at the park. Keep it casual or elevate with ease without skimping on comfort and reliability for a long day of play and movement.

Kingpin by Etnies for sportwear with legacy backing

When looking for a skate shoe that says ‘old-school cool’, look no further than the Kingpin by Etnies. With a retro-styled padded tongue and reinforced areas that are made for damage from ollies and flips, these sneaks pay tribute to the Fader shape from yesteryear, whilst remaining true to the Etnies ethos locked in by the company’s 40-year legacy. Skaters can put looks together with baggy jeans or cargos, and mix with branded tees from the men’s T-shirt sale to pull off a free, classic outfit. If wanting to lean into a vintage skate look, opt for pairs in dark shades such as the Black-on-Black or Black-on-Dark-Grey as these variants come standard with the famous contrast gum midsole for extra pop.

Extreme comfort for everyday fans of streetwear

Whether commuting through the city or simply hanging with friends, your casual sneakers need breathable comfort that works well for long-wear use. The Etnies Kingpins offer an ‘egg-crate’ midsole cushioning, which helps when standing on your feet or walking longer distances, as well as grippy outsole to make movement in wet weather a breeze. Perfect for jobs in trendier environments such as retail, advertising or eventing, you can pair white leather variants with tailored trousers and a blazer and look sharp and put-together.
