French retail label The Broken Arm joins forces with footwear label Salomon to offer consumers another elevated sneaker silhouette. This time, the two brands give Salomon's classic XT-4 runner model a bold gradient makeover. The trail sneakers showcase the captivating multicolored hues of orange which moves slowly into green at the heel. To contrast, there are black and white details and a 'Salomon LAB' decal over the toe cap.
In addition to the attention-grabbing tones, there are functional elements incorporated to combat summer adventures. The shoes feature a web traction contragrip, a molded EVA midsole, an Ortholite insole, and a 3D advanced chassis. The new collaborative sneakers are now available for purchase for the price at $185 USD online at The Broken Arm.
