Legendary skater Sal Lucas Barbier is setting up shop in LA. Bobby Hundreds says:
“The concept of Sal’s store is very simple. “It’s a man’s store,” he says over and over again. I can never tell if he’s joking or serious, but basically, it’s a one-stop-shop for all the original stuff that inspires skate and street culture today. Back to basics. Classics.
Why buy some knockoff Levi’s bites, when you can buy the originals? Why waste money on some new coolguy-brand’s rip off an O.G. Ben Davis shirt, when you can just go to SLB and get hooked with the real thing?”
Pictured above are a copper foil colorway of the SLB logo tee, and a selection of SLB decks. Check out The Hundreds for several shots of the vintage gear.
