# Technical Collaborative Dynamic Shoes Salomon and Y/Project Create a New Pair of Speedcross 3s By Amy Duong | Published 2024-10-09 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedcross-3-1 References: [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/p/salomon-y-project-speedcross-3-release-date/) & [highsnobiety](https://www.highsnobiety.com/en-us/shop/product/y-project-salomon-speedcross-3-black/)  [Salomon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedcross-3) continues to grow its collaborative work with [Y/Project](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hm-x-glenn-martens) as the two launch a new variation of the iconic [Speedcross 3](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedcross-3-3) sneaker moel for the season. The shoes are detailed with a layering panel on top which drapes and pleats itself throughout the technical design. The two brands perfectly merge together and the hi-tech shoe rests on top of the familiar grippy sole unit at the base and retains its streamlined silhouette. The shoes have a textured finish and it is secured by the adjustable drawstring over the forefoot -- this same component also scrunched up to create a dynamic form and an excess collection of fabrics. It comes in simple colorway palettes including black and white.
