Etnies is stepping into new territory with the launch of its Hardwired collection, and it’s starting things off with something that looks straight out of a fashion week runway but is built to handle grip tape and the streets.
On June 26th at 8am PT, the first release from the collection, the premium black leather Kingpin, will be available through a limited raffle.
The design leans heavily into the luxury-meets-skate world that’s been gaining traction in recent years.
Think thick soles, exaggerated spikes, and a strong designer feel that fans of Burberry Erry’s style will instantly recognize.
The shoe is crafted in premium black leather and keeps the familiar silhouette that longtime Etnies wearers will appreciate, but everything else about it feels gnarly.
Skaters and fashion collectors will likely have their eyes on this release.
With only a limited number available through raffle, this drop is already gaining attention across social media.
The collection hints at more pairs to come, and if this first one is anything to go by, Etnies might be quietly carving out its own lane in the high-fashion skate shoe world.
For those looking to score a pair, photos, more details, and raffle sign-up info can be found here.
