Every year, Etnies gives away 2,000 pairs of shoes to the less fortunate in Los Angeles. The annual event went down again for the 16th year this past weekend with the help of BMX’s Nathan Williams, Tom Dugan and Ben Lewis. Check out the video giving you a look at how the day went down. Always good to see somebody in a rough place smile.

“For 16 years etnies owner and CEO Pierre-Andre Senizergues has inspired his staff, pro riders, family and friends to head to L.A.’s Skid Row and rally together at the Los Angeles Mission’s annual Easter event to donate shoes to the thousands of homeless living on the streets. Skid Row is a scary and tough place to survive without a home and the reality is the homeless wear their shoes around the clock to keep their feet protected and warm. Each year etnies has the pleasure to personally witness the pure joy and relief a new pair of shoes brings to the lives of those less fortunate. etnies would like to share that experience with the world. Here is etnies’ Journey to the Soles of Skid Row’s Homeless. Featuring Pierre-Andre Senizergues, Ryan Sheckler, Cairo Foster, Nathan Williams, Ben Lewis, Tom Dugan and Levi Sherwood.“
