Salomon introduces the newest edition of the S/Lab Alpinway dubbed the Alpinway Advanced. The hybrid outdoor silhouette is designed with premium performance -- it boasts the ability to navigate through alpine ridges, travel through various terrains, and alongside a mountain.
The new Alpinway Advanced is leaning more towards a more stylish angle as it is a part of the brand's Sportstyle series, the fashion-centric line. The model is accented with some alterations including a chunkier sole unit at the base and more noticeable suede at the paneling. It also has a slightly wider shape than the precious models. The new colorways also stand out with a stealthy finish of all-black to replace the usual black and white. There is also an off-white and grey colorway.
