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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beams-salomon-xtwhisper) last month in the form of a [hybrid sandal sneaker design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alpinway-advanced). 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.
