Salomon works in collaboration with Boris Bidjan Saberi to unveil the A.B.2 11S. The silhouette blends elements between the outdoor brand and the German-Iranian fashion designer. This results in an avant grade style and they draw inspiration from 25 years of bouldering.
The A.B.2 11S by Boris Bidjan Saberi features a weatherized GORE-TEX membrane for waterproof capabilities along with a gaiter. This all rests on top of cushioned midsoles at the base of the shoe. On the aesthetic forefront, the silhouette has a cool and futuristic zipper design which is complete in sleek colorway options of black and white. The upper has a unique mid-cut design and branding is done in a subtle way throughout the shoe.
