Ceeze Joins Salomon to Create a Pair of XT-4 Sneakers
References: highsnobiety
Salomon works in collaboration with New York-based sneaker 'tweaker' Ceeze on a pair of its signature XT-4 sneaker models. The duo gives the silhouette a green tonal makeover and it results in a Forecast colorway palette, which is inspired by the Kyrie 7 ky-D Weatherman sneaker by Nike.
Ceeze reimagines the shoe with a bright green look made from ostrich leather materials. It is contrasted by black nubuck overlaying on top and calfskin lining to nod to the original sneaker's barometric accents. There is stark branding that is seen detailing the lace loops, branding along the sides of the shoe, the toe cap, and the tongue. The collaborative shoe is extremely limited with only ten pieces made across the world.
