The duo focus on the outdoors and prepare a footwear design that readies for the terrain that comes with it. The base foundation of the new model is the Outpro by Salomon. The two then draw inspiration from The Broken Arm's expertise on how [trail and outdoor items](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aries-and-salomon) have been used by artists. In reference to this, the duo then taps Simon Laureyns to create an installation that is inspired by the collaboration. The shoe is made from the patented Matryx material by The Broken Arm, which is a dense iteration of weaving. It is complete in an earthy tonal colorway of peat, black, and purple corallites.
