etnies × Sal Barbier

Sal 23 is iconic because it captures a key piece of etnies history. First introduced in 1994 as Sal Barbier’s signature shoe, it helped define the clean, understated side of 90s skate footwear. The reissue keeps the famous “23” branding, padded support and durable outsole, so you get real heritage, not a fake version of it.

Skate for Change is etnies’ give-back program for nonprofit and grassroots organizations using skateboarding to create positive change for young skaters. It supports these groups with gear, funding, and visibility so they can build community, teach life skills, and create safer places to ride. It’s Etnies putting action behind the culture, not just talking about it.

For the size question and order info, go straight to the Help Center. That is where etnies links out to the Size Guide, Shipping & Delivery and Returns pages, which is the safest move because policy details can vary by region.
