While many of Salomon’s recent releases and collaborations have focused on delivering stylish performance footwear, the latest release is all about technical upgrades. Although still donning a sleek and moody look, the new sneaker has a series of upgrades to improve user experience. As part of Salomon’s ACS Pro Gore-Tex lineup, the latest release is part of its push to modernize its most rugged designs. The new sneaker is perfect for harsh winter conditions, allowing users to explore rough terrain with maximum protection and support. While made for the trails, the latest sneaker also dons a sleek, earthy look that’ll pair perfectly with a street-style-inspired outfit.

Available in a Roasted Clay/Black/Rum Raisin color combination, the newest Salomon release evokes a dark, earthy color palette that accentuates the added technical features. The new ACS PRO GORE-TEX sneaker has a GORE-TEX-waterproof membrane-coated upper that keeps the foot dry and protected. Over the waterproof are technical overlays that give the design a pop of color and depth. As with the rest of the collection, this sneaker is designed to withstand winter conditions with a series of performance upgrades. This shoe includes an Agile Chassis System, which adds performance and weatherproof features. Created with a Kurim structure with mesh underlays, ripstop coating, and Lycra, this sneaker also provides durability and protection. Available via the Salomon and BILLY’S websites and selected retailers, this sneaker retails for $220. Wear it to the trails or out with your athleisurewear; there’s no denying this footwear will be some of the most stable and durable in your footwear rotation.

In New Balance’s long history, the brand has become home to many iconic silhouettes, colors, and collaborative moments that are worthy of celebration. One of the most recent celebratory moments comes from music brand Roland, where the brand honors 45 years of its TR-808 Rhythm Composer and this year’s “808 Day.” For this momentous occasion, New Balance has partnered with Brazilian pro skater Tiago Lemos to relaunch the special edition Tiago Lemos 808 Lite x Roland sneaker. A sell-out design last year, the 808 Lite x Roland sneaker is a special model for the brand, as it celebrates the impact the 808 music machine has had on music and culture. In a combination that fuses music, skateboarding, and style, it’s no wonder that New Balance is at the forefront of the celebration.

In an era where more brands are seeking out celebrity co-designers, like Bad Bunny’s partnership with Adidas, it’s Salomon’s turn for their moment in the spotlight. Previously teased during his set at Governor’s Ball, Colombian singer and record producer Feid has finally given fans a glimpse into the new Salomon XT-Pathway. Once again, sporting the unreleased sneaker during his set at Hard Summer Festival, Feid’s collaborative design with Salomon is a statement and eye-catching. The design was not only worn on stage during the set, but also via social media, where the singer met up with rapper Snoop Dogg, who also sported a Family & Friends version of the same Salomon XT-Pathway sneaker. While Snoop Dogg’s version is unlikely to see a release, it’s Feid’s version that seems to have caught everyone’s attention.

While many of PUMA’s recent viral releases have come from in-house projects that involve remixing their archival designs, that doesn’t mean PUMA has forgotten about one of its most exciting long-standing partnerships in recent times. Since 2014, singer-songwriter and businesswoman Rihanna has partnered with athletic brand PUMA in different capacities for new collaborations and releases. In 2016, Rihanna’s FENTY brand debuted its first collaborative collection with PUMA, marking the start of a lengthy partnership that’s brought several must-have pieces and footwear. Through various collaborations, the partnership between FENTY and PUMA has evolved into a staple for the brand. In their newest release, the duo is taking it back to one of their most famed sneakers, the Avanti, for a sleek and slimmed-down shoe that’s perfect for the trends of the summer.
