Salomon Introduces the New XA PRO 3D AMPHIB Shoe

— May 7, 2025 — Fashion
Salomon introduces the new XA PRO 3D AMPHIB sneaker model which is now available to shop at Salomon and various retail locations. It comes in a slew of colorway palettes -- all of which have an earthy theme. It features Vanilla Ice, followed by an Aloe and Olive hue, and finally, a Black on Black colorway.

The silhouette made its original debut as a collaborative silhouette alongside Beams last month in the form of a hybrid sandal sneaker design. The new update blends a sense of function and aesthetics. The hybrid model offers a touch of versatility, especially for the summer season ahead. The XA PRO 3D AMPHIB has a breathable upper made with mesh and synthetic overlays, followed by a reinforced toe box.
