The outsole is constructed from stitched 400 NBS rubber, providing excellent grip and durability.
The Kingpin is designed with skateboarding in mind and offers the durability, grip, and cushioning required for many skateboarding activities, including street skating.
Use a suede brush for general cleaning and a suede cleaner or a lightly damp cloth for stains. Always allow to air dry.
This model features a black nubuck upper with subtle grey and black details, and a black and gum sole unit.
Adjust the lacing to achieve a more secure or relaxed fit. Ensure you have selected the correct UK size; refer to sizing charts if unsure.
Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris that may be hindering traction. Check for excessive wear on the outsole pattern.
Ensure the laces are properly tied and the tongue is positioned correctly. The STI Foam cushioning footbed provides comfort, but significant discomfort may indicate an incorrect fit or the need for a break-in period.
Use a specialized suede brush to gently remove surface dirt. For tougher stains, use a suede cleaner or a slightly damp cloth, then allow to air dry completely. Consider using a protective spray for future use.
Setup: The Etnies Kingpin comes ready to wear. Ensure you select the correct UK size for a proper fit. The shoe is designed for immediate use without any special setup required.
Compatibility: These trainers are primarily designed as skate shoes, making them compatible with skateboarding activities. They are suitable for adult males. The general design also makes them compatible with casual, everyday wear.
Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of the black nubuck upper, it is recommended to use a suede brush to remove dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a damp cloth can be used sparingly. Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive moisture, as this can damage the nubuck material. Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. The rubber outsole can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. It is advisable to treat nubuck with a protective spray to enhance its resistance to water and stains.
