Kar L'Art de L'Automobile works in collaboration with Salomon on a new iteration of the ACS Pro Advanced sneaker model for the season. It takes on the name KAR ACS PRO and it is offered in two different colorway options -- this includes the notable yellow, red, and green and the baby blue and pink.
The design boasts a technical aesthetic and has a stark contrast across both colorways through the gradient and color-blocking application. It is also detailed with touches of branding throughout the shoe. The sneaker pack is accompanied by a selection of apparel as well, and features tonal tracksuits, shorts, tees, caps, and socks. The brand also features a collaborative set of frames made alongside Oakley.
