French outdoor footwear brand Salomon has released the 'Raid Wind,' its newest trek sneaker, which will launch as part of the brand's specialty ADVANCED range.
Inspired by Salomon's own archives, the 'Raid Wind' borrows from the look and design of the brand's 90s-era adventure sneakers. Able to handle all terrains, these high-performing shoes come equipped with breathable mesh uppers, a reinforced heel and front foot, a robust 'Contagrip' outsole, and quick lacing technology.
While there's no doubt that the 'Raid Wind' is a sturdy, trail-ready model, it also presents an incredibly stylish retro-inspired aesthetic. Dressed in soft suede overlays and donning an eye-pleasing white, yellow, and black color scheme, these sneakers should appeal to streetwear fans interested in adding a high-tech piece to their collections.
