The Broken Arm works in collaboration with Salomon on the newest design iteration of the Techamphibian sneaker model for the season. The silhouette boasts technical details all throughout as it is designed to be suitable for many different activities.
It is described to be a hybrid that blends together the features of a sandal and a plush sneaker midsole foundation. This allows for breathability and cushioning for comfort all day long. In terms of the colorway palette of the collaborative sneaker, there are subtle blends of green as it is joined by pale blue, black, and beige throughout the entire upper. This comes together to look like a safari theme that is perfect for the outdoors.
