While many athletic brands have attempted to fuse modern style with performance technology, few have consistently delivered luxurious results like Salomon. Known for some of the most sought-after athletic shoes, the brand is continuing its path with a new release that’s equally fashionable and supportive. With the Speedcross 3 as the focus, the new Salomon sneaker is one of the brand’s most style-focused shoes. The design retains the Speedcross 3 footwear features but adds a unique colorway to the mix, making it one of the most elevated sneakers in its Sportsstyle lineup.
The new Salomon Speedcross 3 in “Dual Aura”
With its new “Dual Aura” version of the Speedcross 3, Salomon introduces an outward panel in black adorned with the brand’s zig-zag overlays. On the inner panels, cream white takes while identical monochromatic zig-zag overlays add a textural contrast. Bringing these two colors together is a subtle gradient that transitions the stealthy black into a moody grey, and then a rich cream hue. Small pops of color are found on the branding towards the top and back heel logos. In terms of technology, this “Dual Aura” sneaker stays true to the Speedcross 3 model. Sensifit technology and a quick lacing system are included for a comfortable and snug fit. Made for the brand’s “Year of the Snake” celebration, this subtle shift of gradience is a simple way of reinventing a favorite silhouette into a modern classic. The “Dual Aura” version is also available with Gore-Tex for more durability and protection. Available via the Salomon website, the sneaker retails for $160.
