Hi! My name is Witold (pronounced "vee-told") and I am the founder of BlackerFriday.com. After many years working in corporate america, I decided it was time to take a break to pursue my real passion — helping people save money. Ever since I was a little boy selling pencils in the playground to my kindergarden friends, later collecting aluminum cans from all my neighbors in elementary school to support my baseball card addiction, eventually becoming an eBay Power Seller in my older years to support my college education, I had an eye for spotting deals. I’ve taken what I have learned over the years and built Blacker Friday to bring you the best Black Friday rumors, predictions, and news website. Fortunately I'm not alone in this - We have a great team of dedicated folks helping make this site possible.

Etnies Cyber Monday 2025 Sale – Early Access is Live!

November 22, 2025 BlackerFriday.com Leave a comment

Updated on Saturday, November 22, 2025: If you’re hoping for a brand-new Cyber Monday sale from Etnies this year, don’t hold your breath. Based on their past few holiday shopping events, Etnies tends to roll their Black Friday deals right through Cyber Monday rather than launching a separate event. Still, if you’re after new skate shoes, apparel, or casual wear, you’ll likely have plenty of chances to save as their Black Friday promotion extends into the start of December.

Cyber Monday 2025 Sale Dates

Etnies’ holiday sale season usually begins early. Early access for email subscribers is already live (it kicked off on November 15, 2025). Early shoppers at etnies.com get 20% off sitewide with promo code PRE-BFCM-20.

The main promotion is expected to open to everyone on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, just before Thanksgiving. It should then continue through Black Friday weekend and stay active through Cyber Monday, wrapping up on Tuesday, December 2, 2025.

What Kind of Deals Can You Expect?

In 2024, Etnies shoppers saw up to 70% off select products and 30% off most full-priced items during th emain event when using the promo code BF30 at checkout. Free shipping was also available on most orders.

While some special collections may be excluded, the code usually applies to a wide range of regular-priced gear, not just clearance. Details about any exclusions or updated terms will likely appear on the homepage or during checkout once the sale is live.

A Look Back at 2024 Deals

Here’s a quick reminder of what last year’s discounts looked like to give you an idea of what might return this year:

Jameson 2 Eco Shoes: $74.99 → $52.49 with promo code
Marana Slip XLT Shoes: $94.99 → $66.49
Fader Vulc Shoes: $69.99 → $48.99
Etnies Classic Hoodie: $54.99 → $38.49
