As skateboarding progresses into its sixth decade, Pierre-Andre Senizergues has designed the new etnies PAS Collection to symbolize the entrance of an important and new phase known as the Sixth Element. This collection celebrates skateboarders becoming fathers and passing on their passion to their children with a father-and-son pair, definitely a first in the world of footwear! The Sixth Element symbolizes a whole new generation and offers three adult styles with three complimentary toddler styles depicting the different stages that Pierre-Andre has encountered in life.

Revolution
The French and American heritage colors of red, white and blue collide together in the spirit of skateboarding where defying convention knows no boundaries in the new etnies PAS collection –the Sixth Element. The first stage marks a skate revolution that unites Pierre’s French roots and gives birth to a new generation of youth that is simplistic in nature, sophisticated in style with complex undertones to reveal what is yet to come.
Refection
In the second stage of the etnies PAS Collection – The Sixth Element, a look into a son’s skateboarding future reflects images of his father’s past. Panels of metallic vibrancy capture surreal images and reflect light to give the modern skateboarder a touch of sheen and color in the ever evolving mosaic of skate culture.
Evolution
Wrinkles reveal experience in the evolution stage of the etnies PAS collection-the Sixth Element. The aged leather of a father’s skateboarding journey and the soft nubuck material embodies the son’s fresh outlook. The two link together to create a new skate era. A historic nod to etnies in the Rebel logo and bright purple laces showcase the unexpected twist that is the path of every skateboarder.
