BEAMS partnered up with Salomon to release a new colorway for the collaborative 'RX Slide 3.0' recovery sneaker. As a recovery sneaker, the RX Slide 3.0 is engineered to be comfortable, easy to wear, and breathable. The RX Slide 3.0 now comes adorned in an 'Air Force Blue' colorway that takes full advantage of the mismatched material of the sneaker.
The upper of the shoe features the signature blue with dark black trims around the toe vamp and heel. The midsole of the shoe boasts a vibrant white while the outsole is also black. This creates a uniform, minimalist shoe that draws attention to the breathable upper and eyestay while also showing that its reinforced bottom, front, and back ends ensure the protection of the wearer's foot.
