The RLS is a fully deconstructed lace-up style inspired off the original etnies RSS. Its silhouette is low profile as it sits on top of a vulcanized outsole. The Geo-Hex tread pattern provides optimum grip while an egg-crate construction in the midsole keeps the shoe light while adding extra cushioning under your foot.
Can't comment on the shoe as yet as haven't worn them, but look good and have the usual Etnies quality. Ace that they come in half sizes. Also l accidently typed in the incorrect postcode on ordering and they got sent to the wrong address, totally my fault and were then returned to Etnies. A quick email to them and they were resent at no extra cost. Excellent customer service!
Awesome shoe hope they make more.
I got the previous generation of this shoe just a couple of months ago. The design looks to be very similar to these shoes. I really liked the fit. It's very comfortable but tight enough to prevent sliding. The laces and rubber are high quality, and stand up to a little bit of abuse while skateboarding. If you are getting these for skateboarding, consider getting a more expensive Etnies shoes if you can afford it, as the cloth will wear through before too long, especially if your ollies consistently rub above the rubber guard. Overall a very nice shoe, just not ideal for use as a skating shoe.
