Your Last Chance to Get the Discontinued etnies RSS Shoe

Markus — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 05:03:56 +0000

That’s right, you heard it here first, the insider information is that the etnies RSS shoe has unfortunately been discontinued and is only available for purchase for the next week or so, after which it will no longer be sold!

The etnies RSS shoe has amazing feel and attention grabbing style and is a staple by anyone who wears it. For years it has been a team favorite across all teams, but apparently, all great things must come to an end.

So in a very short amount of time, like, NEXT WEEK, production on the etnies RSS shoe will be stopped and if you miss out, it will be hard if not impossible to find a pair in the future.

Personally, I’m sad to see this super-stylish, comfortable, skateable slip-on shoe discontinued as it has the following features:

Classic Rap styling for low, slim style
Durable Leather, Suede and/or Canvas Upper
Thin padded tongue and collar for breathability
Vulcanized construction that provides improved board feel
STI Foam™ Lite level 1 cushioning footbed that relieves pressure and provides superior comfort to your feet
400 NBS rubber outsole with “rope” tread and internal EVA midsole provides great grip and arch support
Sizes 5-14 for Men, Women and Children

The etnies RSS shoes are not only incredibly adaptable and comfortable, but you can even design your own using the online etnies custom shoe builder! The same style slipped on by the pros, RSS shoes are strong, durable and loaded with specialized details like an outsole pattern engineered for excellent grip and a genuine upper that can take abuse from skating.

The etnies online store is the best place to get your etnies rss shoes, directly from the source! As an Authorize.net Secure Verified Merchant, you don’t have to worry about cyberfraud and all major credit cards as well as Paypal payments are accepted.

Game of Skate Haiti Benefit

Markus — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 15:13:17 +0000

By now I’m sure everyone has heard of the nasty situation the country of Haiti is in after a wicked earthquake that pretty much destroyed everything. The people of Haiti still need all the help they can get and this is a great chance for skaters to step up and do good, which is exactly what Identity Boardshop, Dema and the lovely Claire, founder of the brand spankin’ new skateboard non-profit “Good Lookin Out” intend to do by putting on a sweet game of skate, BBQ and raffle where you could win, a new car!

Actually, you won’t win a new car, but the prizes for the game of skate are:

1st place: $500
2nd place: $300
3rd place: $200

and don’t forget about the raffle which will be stuffed with skate gear, decks, clothes, shoes, dvds and more, plus the “dude, get yourself a bib” mouthwatering BBQ.

Of course, this is not all about the prizes or food, but helping out the less fortunate in a fun, creative way. So absolutely do not miss out this February 27th, 2010 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at:

Identity Boardshop
7886 Beach Blvd.
Buena Park, CA

The entry fee is $5 (that’s only 5 dollars!!! less than a happy meal and a lot better food) and all proceeds go to the American Red Cross (to assist in Haiti).

If you just can’t make it, maybe you live in Omaha, Nebraska or if you read this in the year 2043, you can still help by getting in touch with Claire to donate sick skate goods for the raffle or help Good Lookin Out in their quest to help skaters.
