etnies × Sal Barbier
Sal Barbier is a foundational figure in professional skateboarding, part of the generation of skaters who defined what technical street skating looked like in the early 1990s. His influence on skate culture, style and the development of modern skating is significant and documented across decades of footage and imagery.
The etnies × Sal Barbier collection brings his signature aesthetic back into the current lineup. Classic silhouettes from the etnies archive are rebuilt with the construction details that made them relevant in the first place. Heritage materials, clean colourways, and the same skater-first approach to build quality that characterised the original runs.
This is a collection for skaters who understand the history and want a piece of it, and for newer skaters discovering where the culture they're participating in came from. Limited availability across the run, these sell through faster than standard collection drops.
