This design improves secure traction

The Sal 23 is an OG 1990s skate classic - designed by legend Sal Barbier. This low-top suede shoe features the iconic 23 on the side (a tribute to Michael Jordan) and a clean, minimalist profile. The reissue stays true to the original with a padded tongue and collar, STI Level 1 insole, molded ollie guard, and 400 NBS rubber outsole. It arrives with extra laces and custom 90s shoebox and insole art - recapturing the style that bridged skate and street fashion.

Reinforced eyelets distribute lace tension evenly across the instep
