When it comes to premium comfort, bold style, and streetwear-inspired designs, Ethika boxers are in a league of their own. From professional athletes to everyday Kiwi legends, this global underwear brand has built a loyal following — and here in New Zealand, Ethika men’s boxers and Ethika boys’ printed boxers have become an absolute favourite.
At Blitz Surf Shop, we stock a huge range of Ethika men’s underwear and Ethika boys’ underwear, so whether you’re after classic black staples or wild printed designs, we’ve got you covered.
The Origins of Ethika
Ethika was founded in 2001 in California by Malcolm McCassy, Travis Pastrana (professional motorsports athlete), and Ryan Sheckler (pro skateboarder). The brand was born from a simple but bold idea: create underwear that not only delivers all-day comfort but also looks so good you’ll want to show it off.
Starting as a grassroots project, Ethika gained momentum thanks to its founders’ deep roots in skateboarding, surfing, BMX, motocross, and street culture. The name “Ethika” comes from the word “ethics” — a nod to the brand’s mission to stay authentic and connected to its community.
Global Growth: From California to the World
In its early days, Ethika underwear was sold out of backpacks at skate parks and events. Word spread fast — thanks to its ultra-soft stretch fabric, supportive fit, and signature no-roll waistband — and soon Ethika was embraced by musicians, athletes, and style influencers worldwide.
By the 2010s, Ethika had gone global, becoming a must-have underwear brand in the USA, Australia, Europe, and now New Zealand. The bold prints, collaborations with athletes and artists, and streetwear-meets-performance style made it more than just underwear — it became part of a lifestyle.
