London and Calabria-based label Copson works in collaboration with Salomon on the new iteration of the Ultra Raid sneaker model. It is designed with inspiration from Copson's ethos of an endless summer, which is noted in the color palette of the model. It is also referenced in the Tempo Allegro campaign that takes place in Southern Italy.
The sneaker rests on a white base foundation and is made using transparent mesh materials throughout the upper. It is then detailed with Negroni Red around the tongue, the branding details, and the collar. Additional details include the responsive energy foam insert, the trail-ready midsole foundation, and the additional Tempo Allegra branding message that is stamped on the tongue.
