The Etnies Jameson Vulc is the vulcanized version of our best-selling shoe, the Jameson 2. It retains footwear design simplicity while maintaining premium performance. Your minimal, stripped down performance skate shoe. The Jameson Vulc uses a new last that has a lower toe box, keeping the vamp closer to your foot, which in turn keeps you closer to the board for a better flick and board feel. We have incorporated the tread pattern from the rct- a team favorite by far. Inside the midsole is an egg crate construction to add some extra cushion and comfort to a vulcanized shoe with a STI foam lite 1 insole.

The Loaded Tan Tien blends carve-oriented longboarding with advanced trick riding. A flexible deck, drop-through truck mounts, and usable kicks allow the Tan Tien to pack a lot into a relatively small package. The complex contours create a super responsive board that allows for increased confidence when leaning into turns, popping tricks, and powering through slides.

User Friendly — Drop-through truck mounting positions the deck lower to the ground for easier, more efficient pushing and enhanced stability. Light weight and compact size make the Tan Tien easy to handle for freestyle, freeride, and commuting.

Responsive Ride — Vertically laminated bamboo and fiberglass construction pair with a cambered profile for a lively and engaging ride.

Versatile Variations — Available in three flex ratings to tailor the ride to your weight and style. Lower flex is ideal for heavier riders or aggressive tricksters; higher flex is recommended for lighter riders or those looking for a more responsive board.
