Salomon has revealed a pair of lightweight slip-on shoes, the PULSAR ADVANCED, made for convenient Summer travel. This latest model of Salomon's lightweight shoe line is the lightest yet compared to its Jungle Ultra Low ADVANCED and ACS + OG.
The design team at Salomon made a lightweight build with thick soles and midsoles that allows fluid movement as the material of the shoes is made of natural fibers and a resistant synthetic yarn. Specifically, the shoe is made of recycled linen fibers for the vamp and tongue. Despite the appearance of resembling a water shoe, it is not water resistant. Nevertheless, the shoe can still withstand hot weather in the summer. Additionally, the shoe comes in black/pewter, moth/moonscape, and vanilla Ice/feather gray colorways. The shoe is available for $200.
