lilwayneownstheredsox says ---- Started in France in 1986, the brand's original name was Etnics, derived from the word "ethnic," which was a nod to the Skateboarding sub-culture. It was later renamed Etnies due to legal issues. In 1989, took charge, making it the first skateboard shoe brand owned by a professional skateboarder, and started marketing Etnies to the United States as Etnies, U.S.A.

The name "Etnies" originated from the phonetic pronunciation of the brand's original name, Etnics, which represented the ethos of being "etnically diverse." The founders decided to change the name to Etnies to avoid potential legal issues.
