FAQs

What is the main difference between the Kingpin 2K and previous Kingpin models?

The Kingpin 2K features subtle updates to the design while maintaining the beloved Kingpin silhouette. Specific updates may include refinements in materials or construction for enhanced performance or comfort.

Are these shoes suitable for professional skateboarding?

Yes, the Etnies Kingpin 2K Low Shoes are designed with features like a durable suede upper, a padded tongue and collar, and a robust rubber outsole that make them well-suited for skateboarding performance.

How should I clean the black suede upper?

Use a soft suede brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, a specialized suede cleaner is recommended, applied according to product instructions. Avoid water saturation.

What type of cushioning do these shoes offer?

They feature an internal EVA midsole and Comfort Level 1 insoles, providing a balance of cushioning and support for daily wear and impact absorption.

What material is the outsole made of?

The outsole is made of stitched 400 NBS rubber, known for its durability and grip.

Can these shoes be worn by women?

While designed for men, women can wear them if the sizing and fit are appropriate. It's recommended to check sizing conversion charts if needed.

What does 'Low Shoes' refer to?

'Low Shoes' indicates the cut of the shoe, meaning they do not extend above the ankle, offering more freedom of movement compared to mid or high-top shoes.

Troubleshooting

Suede material looks dirty or stained.

Gently brush off dry dirt with a suede brush. For tougher stains, use a dedicated suede cleaner and follow the product's instructions. Apply a suede protector spray for future prevention.

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Break in the shoes by wearing them for short periods initially. If persistent, consider if the shoe style is suitable for your foot shape.

Outsole appears worn down quickly.

This can be a sign of heavy use, especially in skateboarding. For normal wear, the 400 NBS rubber is durable. If excessive wear occurs prematurely, check for any manufacturing defects.
