Salomon Presents a New Iteration of the Speedcross 3

— March 8, 2024 — Fashion
Salomon shines a spotlight on the Speedcross 3 sneaker model for the season, arriving in a bold colorway palette that cannot be missed. The brand utilizes the iconic Sulphur colorway that was first seen in 2011 -- it blends hues of bright yellow-green with accents of red and black. It is a chunky design that rests on top of a grippy sole unit and is enclosed by a Quicklace upper over the forefoot.

Designer of the Speedcross, Reglan G Brewer once noted, “Pushing mountain racing boundaries meant a flyweight product that was quick and agile, even on the most difficult sloped terrain. Early on, I started calling the project ‘SpeedCross’ as it both respected the trail signature ‘X’ and reflected the ambitious racing identity of the product.”
