The brand teamed with Converse to release a capsule collection that continues to celebrate and share stories and details of the African diaspora.
The shoeboxes have a constellation pattern and a graphic of a young Barter, his sister and brother looking at star patterns that also appear on graphic T-shirts and hoodies with the brand’s signature phrase “Live Free Barriers.”are supporting the launch with a short film starring model and singer Selah Marley, daughter of Lauryn Hill and Rohan Marley and granddaughter of Bob Marley, with voiceover from Damon Dash.
When Black Lives Matter protests began in the country in response to the murder of Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, Barter pulled away from the idea because he didn’t want to his designs to profit off of the movement. Barter explained his journey to where he is today, making a connection to rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z who said he had been writing his debut studio album, “Reasonable Doubt,” his whole life. Barter feels the same about Barriers, as he too has leaned on his life experiences to create this art.
Before Barriers, Barter worked for Nike for six years. He then took the leap to Los Angeles with only $800 to focus on the brand, and lived with photographer and filmmaker Aiden Cullen for a period, and with A$AP Nast and A$AP Bari during the latter’s rollout of his Nike x Vlone Air Force 1 sneakers.
