- Sal Barbier is a Black skateboarder from Louisiana who began skating in the late 1980s, becoming pro and releasing his first signature deck in 1990 with H-Street Skateboards. He often skated throughout the South and threw the first street contest in Louisiana. After taking other skater's pro model shoes and customizing them to fit his skating needs and style, Barbier designed his first pro model shoe with Etnies. This became one of the most influential skate shoes, changing the profile from big and chunky to sleek and streamlined, revolutionizing the industry.
