Technical All-Terrain Minimal Sneakers

AVNIER and Salomon Launch Two Minimal XA Pro 3D Shoes

— April 13, 2022 — Lifestyle
Paris-based imprint AVNIER works in collaboration with Salomon, continuing the duo's ongoing partnership with the launch of two minimally designed XA Pro 3D sneaker models for the season. There are two colorways that drop - the first features a palette of white, black, and tobacco brown, and the second features the same hue with a different application.

The all-terrain running sneakers are made for the streets with proprietary technology including the XA Pro 3D's notable 3D Advanced Chassis for durability and the All-Terrain Contragrip outsole, rounded out with a reinforced toe cap for protection. It continues on with the EnergyCell high-performance EVA foam unit, custom SensiFit shape, and molded OrthoLite at the insoles for comfort and function.
