SOLE COLLECTOR: Sneakers

As skateboarding becomes more mainstream by the hour, the chances of skateboarder owned and operated companies being taken over by big businesses have increased dramatically. Etnies and SHUT, however, are two such brands that have stayed loyal to their roots and to the culture, and have been doing things their own way since 1986. These new kicks have been created by the two brands in celebration of this authenticity. The SHUT Rap-High releases this October and retails for $110. Keep an eye on your local etnies core shop to grab a pair.
