Thank you for your understanding.
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.

I really really want to give a good review for these shoes as I am an late 90's skater and grew up with all versions of these shoes- the original Etnies version, the eS version sans the metal lace holes, the Sal 23.5's with the velcro strap, as well as the 2002 re-release and the later "skinny-version" re-release which we shall not speak of. I ordered a pair of Black/Black (love them) and White/Black (ehhhh) and I need to warn you that the color on this release's White/Black is not white, it's Cream. The pictures on the website are either altered, using a different material, or this is some kind of mistake. The originals weren't like this. I really don't want to hate- because I love the shoes, but I *was* disappointed when unboxing and I don't want others to go through this- if I had known the white suede was so "off" i wouldn't have bought as many pairs as I did. See the pictures and judge for yourself- notice the difference between the inner part of the tongue and the suede. BTW, the carpet in the picture is a cream-colored carpet and the lighting is natural daylight next to a window.
skating amazing just like I remember

This is not my first time wearing sneakers designed by Sal. When I heard that they would be back on the market, I was very excited. These shoes are a 10/10 in every way and those of us who skate know what we're talking about!
SAL 23
I'd give 0 stars if I could, because that's exactly what I have here. No shoes, no customer service. What a shame to see such a good company fall. No choice left but to initiate a chargeback I guess.
