Coming through again with the hotness Nathan Williams promoting his signature colourway of the new etnies ‘Brake’ shoe. Read on below to check out the full script from etnies, and follow this link to check out the shoes in detail.

The Brake is a cupsole shoe that features more durable rubber on the toe and heel area to endure the rigors of using your foot as a brake on the tire. The BMX-inspired outsole features a herringbone step pattern designed to grip pedals, but also release when needed without tearing. A denser EVA shank in the midsole arch provides extra protection and stability from the pedals without sacrificing pedal feel, while softer EVA on the toe and heel provide extra flexibility and overall comfort.

“It’s a huge honor to be able to work with everybody at etnies designing this shoe, and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out,” said Williams. “Everything, down to even the leather laces, the arrow head and the feather insole art came out exactly how I wanted.”
