[Salomon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/acs-og) [Advanced](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biotech-scalp-care-solutions) recently unveiled the XA-Pro Fusion sneaker model and it is complete in a tonal makeover that can not be missed. The latest colorway is delivered in a bright yellow throughout the upper and it joins the brand's Spring/Summer 2020 collection following the recent collaboration alongside Fumito Ganryu.

In terms of the details, the top of the shoe is complete with some branding details with the 'S' accent on top of the tongue. This component is made from mesh materials in black for some tonal contrast. The paneling at the collar is made up of small ballistic nylon materials. The bright yellow uppers are made from mesh as well in order to deliver breathable elements when trekking through the outdoors.
