vintage Es éS Footwear SLB 97 Sal white/gum *box only* skateboard skate shoes

Description

Up for a sale is a vintage éS Footwear SLB 97 box, in the white/gum colorway in a size 11. To be crystal clear, this auction is for the BOX ONLY; the shoes are long gone and not included in the auction.
The box shows some signs of light wear, as shown in the photos, but is in overall good condition. This was the best color of the SLB 97s, Sal Barbier's third and last pro model. The color-matched box is really cool and beautiful with the nice diagonally cut split hinge, definitely living up to the "sophisticated skateboard footwear" claim. For me, this shoe basically capped the classic, tasteful first era of éS before they went louder, busier and more "tech". It's funny realizing that as these originally retailed for , adjusted for inflation that's actually 0 today –– trip out. This box will be well-packed, protected and shipped in a larger cardboard box.
