When it comes to a trail sneaker, you’ll want to ensure it is both functional and stylish. While a chic sneaker comes in handy for everyday use, a trail-ready sneaker should be able to keep you comfortable on any adventure. While Salomon knows how to fuse both successfully, their latest collaboration with South Korean designer J EONGL I adds another level of style and practicality to it. Inspired by the passage of time, this new collaboration comes in two colorways that perfectly capture the inspiration of eroded cliffs and fossils. Both monochromatic versions feature a sculptural style and footwear technology that’ll catch anyone’s attention on the trails or city streets. 

Salomon and J EONGL I give the XA PRO 3D a bold update

Available in black or a rust shade, the XA PRO 3D arrives with a new, edgier look. The sneaker includes Salomon’s traditional trail shoe details like the Quicklace system, Sensifit technology, and 3D Advanced Chassis. This footwear tech adds comfort, adjustability, and durability to a shoe that’s bound to get plenty of use for a perfect fit every time it’s worn. Eroded cliffs and fossil motifs are also included in the sneaker’s uppers to reiterate the collaboration’s message and symbolism. While the shoe has already made its appearance at Salomon’s Paris store during Paris Fashion Week, the collaboration is set to launch globally on July 2 for $160. Made to balance the designer’s contemporary style with Salomon’s renowned technology, this collaborative sneaker is set to be a new favorite on the trails.

Known for its adoration for all things trails, Salomon knows what it takes to create a supportive boot that looks and feels great. While the brand has many trail-ready options, its newest release is ready for a tactical style. Joining them in their release is Paris-based RIER, who is reuniting with Salomon for another rugged footwear option that showcases their nature spirit. Taking inspiration from the majestic Dolomites, the newest trail boot from the duo is a neutral and rough design that includes plenty more details. While the inspiration draws from a rocky terrain, the boot dons a sleek and minimalist exterior that appears sophisticated. Despite its chunky exterior, the boot is made to be worn to its fullest extent.

While there’s no denying that Salomon’s trail sneakers are state-of-the-art, their latest release reaches another level. Fused with military strength materials, Salomon’s latest collaboration Gr10k sees the classic Quest silhouette transform into the ultimate rugged sneaker. By transforming the Quest 4D from boot to sneaker, Gr10k has added style and fortified footwear features that result in a shoe that can take you almost anywhere. While the technical features of the sneaker are more than enough to entice even the most novice hiker, the design’s overall style makes it the perfect shoe to go from the trails to the city. Combining practicality, support, and style, the newest Salomon sneaker is surely to amaze. 
Hit the trails with Salomon’s Quest Low 2 Gr10k

Inspired by the Quest 4D boot, Salomon’s Quest Low 2 Gr10k utilizes some of the most durable footwear features to create a shoe you can’t ignore. With nubuck leather and single-layer mesh, the shoe’s uppers create a comfortable and breathable feel. In the midsole, a dual-density foam provides users with optimal motion control and stability. Crafted with an All-Terrain Contragrip, this sneaker is ready for all surfaces, in nature or the city. Adding to the protection, the design’s 4D Advanced Chassis and protective toecap add balance, cushion, and comfort features while protecting the foot. Finishing the design is a snug-fit lacing system complete with a convenient pocket, allowing users to feel secure and hazard-free in their journey. Now available via both brands’ web store, the sneaker retails for $190 and is expected to sell out quickly. Coming from the same pairing that crafted a pair of fire-proof sneakers, there’s no doubt that this new release will be a must-have for all adventure seekers.
