Salomon introduces a new iteration of the Speedcross 3 model with the Dual Aura edition. The distinctive model has a stelathy black finish and then contrasting accents of the signature zig-zag overlays in a tonal finish. The model then progresses at the interior and top section of the shoe. The solid black gives it a stealthy finish and continues into a moody grey tone.
Notably, the grey also leans into a cream white which is seen at the inward-facing lateral side of the shoe. To connect with the lighter section, the overlays along the side are finished in a matching ivory shade with accents of red throughout to split up the monochromatic palette. The Dual Aura retains the standard build of the Speedcross 3 model.
