Technical Collaborative Dynamic Shoes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Salomon and Y/Project Create a New Pair of Speedcross 3s

— October 9, 2024 — Fashion
Salomon continues to grow its collaborative work with Y/Project as the two launch a new variation of the iconic Speedcross 3 sneaker moel for the season. The shoes are detailed with a layering panel on top which drapes and pleats itself throughout the technical design.

The two brands perfectly merge together and the hi-tech shoe rests on top of the familiar grippy sole unit at the base and retains its streamlined silhouette. The shoes have a textured finish and it is secured by the adjustable drawstring over the forefoot -- this same component also scrunched up to create a dynamic form and an excess collection of fabrics. It comes in simple colorway palettes including black and white.
