Check out another of one of the most popular models sold by Etnies, the Etnies Fader shoes. For skating or just chillaxing about, they fit great and look spectacular too, but looks aren’t all…
The Etnies Fader is also a rugged skate shoe with a 400 NBS rubber outsole for better grip and control on you board.
The suede or action leather upper has the trademark Etnies logo on the heel, a padded tongue and collar with elastic tongue centering straps to keep that thing in place, a soft lining and STI Foam Level 2 cushioning insole for reducing impact and providing arch support and enhanced stability while skating.
These features make the Fader a perfect choice for hardcore skating and/or sidewalk trodding.
As most Etnies now do, this model comes in Etnies Fader men’s, women’s Etnies Fader and kids with colors ranging from the classic Black, White, Brown to the stylish Metal Mulisha design.

Are you a female skater feeling a little left out in the seemingly male dominated world of skateboarding? Well you must know that everyone loves a skater chick and you don’t have to feel lonely anymore thanks to the totally rad people at Sk8Grl.
Founded by female professional skater Holly Lyons in 2006, Sk8Grl offers female apparel for skaters. I know you’re thinking, “great, another clothing company”, but Sk8Grl is so much more than that. Holly defines Sk8Grl as not just a company, but a way to give back female skaters of all ages by creating a community and world where girls can be themselves, be inspired and grow and achieve their full potential through skateboarding or any other passion that they might have.
The professional team at Sk8Grl is dedicated to making girls skating bigger and better by creating fun, educational and totally entertaining products and services for females of all ages. It’s about teaching girls that they can be great skaters and still be feminine, instilling self confidence and creating healthy, positive memories through skateboard clothes, products, games, camps, clinis, videos, TV and more. To sum it all up Holly says “We are all one, and especially now we need to support each other and live well with one another, no matter how different we may seem. Skateboarding is for everyone. Through camaraderie NOT competition we can all win!”. Interested? Check out www.sk8grl.com where you can add your profile, pic or video, and connect with other skater girls all over the world.
Back to the pro team, besides Holly Lyons, Sk8Grl team members Gaby Ponce (15) and Allysha Bergado (only 11 years old!) have both participated twice in the Women’s Vert event at the X Games with Gaby taking home the Bronze in the summer of 2009 at the age of 15! Be sure to check their photos below:

Satori deserves special attention for doing their part for the environment with their EcoThane Pro Series wheels which are constructed using 50% bio oils and the Recycled Core Series wheels which are, well… recycled. Nice one!

Ok, so you might have already seen this, but it’s amazing and this Ryan Sheckler video shows why he’s one of the top skaters around. Absolutely insane! I had to watch it a few times because it confused me, it looks like he broke his wrist or something,
but I guess it was just a weird angle. Check out the Etnies - It’s Just Skateboarding video and leave your comments below!
Bio: Terry is a pro skater from Long Beach, California known from “Viva La Bam” and the “EA Skate” videogame. He’s more commonly known as TK or by his less appropriate nickname “Compton A$$ Terry”. You may have also seen him in music videos such as Snoop Dogg’s “Drop it like it’s hot”.
Don’t get confused by all the hype, TK still kills it, all day.
