Salomon is restocking pairs of its widely popular ‘ACS Pro Advanced’ sneaker ahead of the release of its Kar L’Art de L’Automobile x Salomon collaborative sneaker. Landing on HBX, Salmon's new sneaker features Air Flow technology that is enhanced by an upper made from a robust and study Kurim construction. In addition, the sneaker features breathable openings that were first introduced by the brand in the mid-2000s. In addition, a reinvented Continental base has been added to the shoes. In contrast to prior launches, the newly released models are available in white and black hues.
The new icy and dark colorways are perfect for pairing with all-white or all-black outfits, but they also fit in perfectly with contemporary sneaker trends that transcend aesthetics or style. Salomon's SS22 ‘ACS Pro Advanced Vanilla Ice’ and ‘Black’ colorways are currently available on HBX.
