While Aurélien won the V7 Teenage Tour at age 6, it was in 2015 when he won the Tampa AM that this goofy footer was noticed by the global skate community. He represented Team France in the 2020 Summer Olympics, and he’s been on the podium at Red Bull Paris Conquest, Dew Tour, World Cup events and more.
“Aurélien is such an explosive powerhouse of talents – in addition to skating big gaps, he rips on rails, ledges and flat ground. We are proud to welcome Aurélien Giraud to our team and with him, we will continue to drive, shape and elevate skateboarding to a new level, Vive Aurélien et Vive le skateboard!”
– Pierre Andre Senizergues, owner and CEO of etnies
“Aurélien is one of the best drop skaters there is, and his bag of tricks is endless. He’ll surprise you every time you see him skate!”
– Trevor McClung
“It is great to have Aurélien on the etnies team. He rips and being on Plan B with him I’ve seen his progression over the years. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for him.”
– Chris Joslin
Aurélien is running both etnies footwear and apparel moving forward. There are plans in the works for signature gear in the future, and he already has his go to etnies products. Aurélien’s known for going big, so it is no surprise that he is skating the most durable impact resistant shoe – the etnies Marana in white/gum.
The Marana’s 3X more durable Michelin outsole is French too. Michelin translated the performance and durability of Michelin tires to the shoes’ outsole to improve the most durable skateboard shoes on the market.
