Contrasting Nylon Technical Sneakers

Salmon and Bodega Join Forces on a New X-Mission 4 Sneaker

— July 25, 2022 — Lifestyle
Salomon works in collaboration with Bodega on a new footwear model that highlights the iconic X-Mission 4 silhouette as the base foundation of the partnership. The shoes take on the name 'Full Bleed' and it is made from nylon ripstop materials throughout the upper.

It is then detailed with a tie-dye tonal pattern with the 'Stormy Sky' treatment to create a unique finish for each pair. Co-branding derails can be seen in the tongue section and the back of the sneaker. The shoe is also marked with contrast with blue, pink, yellow, green, and some reflective 3M fabrication. Bodega described the sneakers as a “wearable ecosystem for the feet,” and it is set to launch officially on July 29th beginning at noon EST.
