Etnies have released their new Bloodline range this week for the Marana shoe and sent these over in a cooler box full of ice. This new slimline version of the original shoe that we reviewed back in February last year functions better overall. I’ve had a pair of the red OG’s on for the last week and they are snug and feel solid compared to a lot of flimsy ‘skate shoes’ that are on the market right now, but I guess that’s Sheckler’s influence. He’s hardly going to be jumping big stuff in a pair of hipster shoes that are made for barfly’s is he?
The E-Lite version (seen in white below) comes with a toe cap to add to the durability and also uses STI Evolution Foam cushioning across the complete midsole and outsole. If you want skateboard shoes that last, then look these up. They will be your pals way longer than your average canvas number this summer and made by skateboarders for skateboarders.
