Off-White Channels the Golden Era of Skateboarding With This Latest Capsule

Before his untimely passing, Virgil Abloh reached out to legendary skateboarder and footwear designer Sal Barbier with the purpose of creating a capsule collection with the 1980s skate scene embedded in its very core. Now, some months on, Off-White and Sal Barbier are ready to release this latest selection in all its retro glory.

With a joint mission to “take the best of the 1980s skate scene, improve it and make it relevant in the now,” Off-White and Barbier have produced a scope of garments consisting of hoodies, sweatshirts, T-Shirts and light wash denim jackets. Alongside Virgil's famed Arrows logo, we now see a menacing rendition of a rattlesnake alongside a multicoloured striped pattern.

In addition to the clothing, we also see accessories arrive in the form of a baseball cap and a pair of black and white sneakers. The sneakers sport a leather and PVC construction atop a rubber sole, with the same rattlesnake logo featured on the rear of the heel.

For those looking to get their hands on this Off-White x Sal Barbier collection, it is currently available for purchase on the brand's website. In other fashion news, Supreme x Yohji Yamamoto drop a 'Tekken' collaboration for FW22.
