The action sports and footwear company etnies is moving forward with its partnership with Autism Speaks, North America’s largest autism science and advocacy group. Etnies debuted its 2012 Spring Collection with its addition of adult shoes, sandals and T-shirts.
The collection is available online. A portion of all the sales from the etnies x Autism Speaks line will go towards the nonprofit.
Etnies owner and CEO Pierre-Andre Senizergues has worked with the organization as the autism spectrum rose by 600 percent in the last few decades, and etnies literally wanted to step in and assist making strides in autism research.
Senizergue of Sole Technology, a leader of multiple action brands, has been recognized by OC METRO as a 2011 Green Team honoree for his sustainable Lake Forest headquarters building and the his Buy a Shoe, Plant a Tree initiative that started out in Costa Rica last year and is extending into Brazil.
