Today, etnies proudly welcomes Aurélien Giraud to the skate team. etnies and Aurélien were both born in France and after skating with the etnies team during the Paris Conquest contest last summer, Aurélien’s connection to etnies grew. Watch Aurélien’s Welcome to the Team edit here:
While Aurélien won the V7 Teenage Tour at age 6, it was in 2015 when he won the Tampa AM that this goofy footer was noticed by the global skate community. He represented Team France in the 2020 Summer Olympics, and he’s been on the podium at Red Bull Paris Conquest, Dew Tour, World Cup events and more.
Aurélien is running both etnies footwear and apparel moving forward. There are plans in the works for signature gear in the future, and he already has his go to etnies products. Aurélien’s known for going big, so it is no surprise that he is skating the most durable impact resistant shoe – the etnies Marana in white/gum.
The Marana’s 3X more durable Michelin outsole is French too. Michelin translated the performance and durability of Michelin tires to the shoes’ outsole to improve the most durable skateboard shoes on the market.
