11 By Boris Bidjan Saberi (11BYBBS) releases a brand new collection for Spring/Summer 2019 and the line-up is full of functional sportswear that dabs into a street-style aesthetic. The offerings are highlighted in a lookbook that zeroes in on some of the performance features. Among the stylishly tailored "advanced garments," four footwear silhouettes are exhibited that include the ultra-light Bamba4, the durable Bamba5, an updated Bamba2, as well as an open-heel clog. Catered for the seasoned trail runner, the shoes are made in collaboration with [Salomon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sportstyle-line).

The footwear goes smashingly well with the functional sportswear. The high quality of the materials and the thoroughly thought-out construction of the shoes ensure that 11BYBBS' Spring/Summer 2019 will satisfy consumers both aesthetically and functionally.
