Full details
The Etnies Jameson 2 Eco is designed for skateboarders and casual wearers who prioritize durability and environmental responsibility in their footwear.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Etnies trainers last as long as possible, avoid machine washing, which can damage the adhesive and the structural integrity of the cupsole. Instead, spot clean any dirt or debris using a soft-bristle brush and mild, eco-friendly soap. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the materials from warping or cracking. For compatibility, the standard lacing system allows for customizable tension, ensuring a secure fit regardless of your preferred knot style.
