The Winner!

BLOWN OUT!

Congrats to Kevin from Albany NY, for submitting the most blown out etines photo! There were a lot of good entries, some with completely missing toecaps from so much skating, but Kevin was chosen based on pretty much having the gnarliest overall damage to a single pair of etnies we have ever seen. These shoes have done some mileage! Kevin will be flown out to the etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest for a weekend of skatin' and hangin' with the etnies team. Golf anyone?

Thanks to all who entered. More contests to come. Maybe even sooner than you think. Hint: Holiday time.

    the callicuts are for those little fxcking posers and they should just buy a fxcking skate and tech themsleves or something instead of being a fxcking poser!!! i HATE posers! my whole town is filled with them [well my pop. is only like 3,000] but at least we have a sk8park!!! anyways ... CONGRATS to the winner ... i think that i should go and buy some callicuts just to make fun of all the little posers here ... maybe i will ... peace!

    just thought of somthing
    buy a pair of the ones that fall apart the easyest
    skate with them forever
    dont put any shoe goo on the shoe, once ur toes start to stick out, take a pair of socks you dotn care about
    and put shoe goo where the toes go
    wear them forever and youwin
