Mismatched Material Collaboration Footwear

The BEAMS x Salomon RX Slide 3.0 is Comfy and Simple

The BEAMS x Salomon RX Slide 3.0 is a new collaboration footwear creation from the two brands that will offer consumers with a way to maintain enhanced comfort when recovering post-workout or sport.

The slip-on shoes features a mule-style backless design that is achieved using two mesh pieces that are separated by a seam on the upper section. This gives the footwear a somewhat segmented construction that is enhanced with a certain level of rusticity, which makes them both fashionable as well as anti-fashion all at the same time.

The BEAMS x Salomon RX Slide 3.0 is available now for preorder from the BEAMS online store at a price point of ¥ 9,900 JPY and is positioned to start shipping in May 2021.
