etnies and Independent Trucks have teamed up to create a workwear-inspired collection of footwear and apparel to highlight the DIY ethos of both companies that is available globally today. This collection is stacked with something for everyone and is available now on etnies.com.
ETNIES & INDEPENDENT “TIME TO GRIND” video: etnies.com/indy
A skate video is the only proper way to launch this collab, featuring heavy sessions from Joslin and Nassim with guest appearances by Trevor McClung, Julian Lewis and Aidan Campbell. From the technical mind of Nassim to a series of heavy enders by Joslin, this video is six minutes of next-level skateboarding! The etnies x Indy vest, flannels, pants, and shoes passed the test as the team filmed in streets of the U.K., France, Germany and the U.S.
Nobody knows skateboarders’ needs better than a skateboarder. Both Independent and etnies started as a response to the lack of quality skateboard products available at the time. For those that make it happen, the product in this collaboration is workwear inspired.

As seen in the “TIME TO GRIND” video, Nassim’s been running etnies x Indy apparel with his Marana x Indy shoes. Workwear styling created to hold up to the streets, the collection includes the Indy Vest, Indy Flannel, Indy Pant, Indy Embroidered Hoodie, Indy Label Hoodie, Indy L/S Tee, Indy Tee, and Indy Wash Tee.
