i've liked etnies for 30 years, these look fine. but there's no chance there is enough of a difference in materials/workmanship to justify walmart being able to sell these for $30 at a profit, but all other etnies are $70-$120. i think it's less that these are cheaply made and more that skate brands are gouging their customer base. i usually wait until they go on clearance anyway. my last 3 pairs of etnies were $75 total on sale
They are cheap in the rubber, the some gets destroyed fast I have those names in China etnies and the good made in Vietnam etnies and I can tell you there's a lot of differences
@@K_spawn from a glance i could see the tread/sole depth seemed a bit thinner, which makes sense if they are just meant to be an inexpensive casual shoe. they don't have them in walmart around me so i haven't seen them in person.
i admire your tenacity but the sound was very low for some reason, don't mistake cheapness for quality though, I say this cause i've skated just about every brand in my 25 year career.
I apologize I couldn't speak louder due to getting over the flu. And the go pro mic sucks. I will be improving and getting better equipment. Thanks for the feedback
Got a pair today qas absolutely shocked to see them at Wal-Mart for only 30 bucks! Im 34 and dont skate much anymore but back in the day its all i did and etnies where my favorite brand..but we didn't have money so we didnt get etnies for xmas lol hell speaking of Wal-Mart i remember begging my mom for a spitfire hoodie in 7th grade and on xmas i tore open the package i knew it was in and instead of spitfire it was a Wal-Mart brand called flameboy lmao i had to pretend to be excited about it cause i felt bad AND i wore that thing with pride too fuck it!!
Yes I am working on that. I'm trying to find an affordable mic and recorder that works for everything from filming lines to things like this. I've slowly been getting better equipment. Thanks for the feedback tho. I'll be for sure working on it
@@slickone777 they had them... They're clearanced on the website now and stopped carrying them in my local store so they must be phazing them out sadly

But those Walmart ones are good option if you can't get specials from etnies website for whenever reason

Weird closeness with the camera. I had to go ahead and kiss the screen to break the awkward tension. Nice find with the Etnies!
I love you too 😘

I just saw these in my Walmart grabbing some immediately
Working on better audio will make such a huge difference. Static was just about as loud as your voice.

An elastic tongue centering straps inside ?
No nothing like that. I'm about to do a follow up review of my thoughts on them.
@@lilchubdeckse.c.skateboard2177 Thank you. Also I want to ask about the name of those Etnies
Since they are sold at Walmart, shouldnt be hard to sponsor yourself. Cant beat free Etnies.
