How to identify a fake Etnies Skateboarding website: 


As a premium brand, people enjoy Etnies Skateboarding products worldwide. Unfortunately, fake, fraudulent, and scam webstores attempt to exploit our brand name. We are dedicated to combating these fake websites to protect our relationship with you and ensure you have the best possible experience.

More and more often promoted through social media ads, these counterfeit websites may appear authentic. Many of them use the Etnies Skateboarding logo or mimic the design of our official website to mislead customers.

Please have a look at the following details to verify if the website is a fraudelent one: 
  • Customer Service contact information: is there an official email displayed? did you get a reply to your latest request?
  • Spelling and product images
  • Policies and Terms & Conditions: are there policies available? do they look legit?
  • Website url: is it the official one or does it look very similar with different symbols?
  • High discounts at any given time of the year and therefore very low prices
  • Customer Reviews: are customer reviews available? do they look legit and verified?




Brand Protection


Etnies Skateboarding takes the protection of its brand very seriously and aims to ensure that consumers know they can rely on anything carrying the Etnies name. We maintain a global portfolio of registered and unregistered trademarks. None of these trademark rights, nor any confusingly similar symbols, can be used without Etnies Skateboarding’s explicit consent. We rigorously pursue legal action against any infringements on our brand and intellectual property rights.

By purchasing counterfeit goods:
  • You miss out on the high quality and performance standards that Etnies Skateboarding guarantees in its authentic products.
  • You may indirectly support unethical or illegal activities, as counterfeiters often use their profits for illegal purposes.
  • You risk contributing to the production of goods under exploitative or unsafe conditions that do not meet proper health, safety, or environmental standards.
  • You may pay higher taxes since counterfeiters typically do not pay taxes, forcing governments to collect more from legitimate businesses and citizens.
  • Etnies Skateboarding is committed to protecting its brand and the integrity of the skateboarding culture. We are interested in any information about look-alike, copycat, or counterfeit products.

If you come across any suspicious items online, please reach out to us via our customer service team directly through our chat or contact form.
