Salomon introduces a new pair of ACS+CSWP sneakers to join its roster for the Fall/Winter 2023 season. It has a hybrid theme and infuses a silhouette from its retro Agile Chassis System line that is backed by the weatherized elements of the ClimaSalamon Waterproof Membrane. The technology is described by the brand as "moisture-wicking," "non-rigid," and "insulating."
The debuting colorway palette prepares for the Fall season and is dynamic with a versatile flair. It has a stealthy look with a black tonal palette throughout most of the silhouette. Details include the caged accent throughout the upper to hold the laces in place and a heel loop at the back for more accessibility. Branding is seen subtly throughout to round it out.
