Today etnies is very proud to launch their second collaboration with British based clothing brand, and BMX powerhouse – Doomed. etnies pro BMX rider Jordan Godwin and artist Paul Robinson founded the brand on Doomsday, back in the late teens of the 21st century. When these two aren’t pushing the limits of technical street riding to the next level, they’re constantly developing their own beautifully apocalyptic Doomed clothing and accessory collections.
etnies worked intimately with these Doom-mongers again to produce two super-stylish black vulcanized shoes that are stealthy, durable and sublime – The Jameson Vulc x Doomed, and the brand-new Kayson x Doomed.

The legend who shaped the Haro BMX brand in the early '80-s has a new venture going: "I'm proud to introduce to you my new line of sports, leisure and travel bags under the Performance Branding moniker. Over the years, I have designed various products for leading brands which included bags, and I wanted to get back in the mix with this new collection."

This year, three global guests have joined the European crew and will all compete to win a share of the €20,000 prize pot.
