Etnies Campbell X Death skate shoe review.

One of the first ever skate shoes i owned, i was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this shoe.

First off , i want to comment on the comfortability of this shoe. It was like stepping into small pillows. They truly have really nice feel on the feet and ultimate board feel and control.

They seemed to ultimately balance board feel and comfortablity , with the size and material of the shoe. They Feature elastic tongue straps combined with padded tounge and collar all topped off with STI foam cushioning.

However in several weeks the signs of wear had started to show , the materials colour had faded and a small tear appeared at the front of the shoe. This was then followed by the grip wearing down and slight lace split.

Weeks later all went downhill. I was sad to see a gaping hole had formed not only at the nose of the shoes, but on the bottom too. The colour went from black to grey in many areas and the laces had split like spaghetti.

Eventually i deemed them unskateable and tossed them to the side to make way for some new skateboarding sidekicks.

Summary:

A great stylish and comfortable shoe with a death collaboration thrown into the mix , but if you are looking for long term trekkers then these are NOT the shoe 4 u.

Overall rating: 7/10.
