Aries continues to work together with Salomon as the two unveil a new variation of the Snowclogs. It is not at all a clog as the simple slip-on is defined by its sole unit foundation. It is adorned with a spiky tooth base which was brought back from the archives earlier this year.
This unveils the outdoorsy silhouette in a new angle and the trail clog has become a full trail sneaker secured with laces on top. The founder of Aries, Sofia Prantera shares with Highsnobiety, "To start with it wasn't easy, the Snowclog has a much softer and lighter construction than the shoes Salomon has become synonymous with. There was a certain amount of risk involved in working on something so new and dramatically different."
