The first look of the new colorway was released online on May 16th, which showcased a palette of white and blue. The design studio highlights the shoe's heels, which are detailed with some co-branding details. Other elements of the shoe include the sensiFIT and endoFIT technology by Salomon which is seen in the original XT-Wings 2. Following the first tease, JJJJound confirmed the sneaker launch with a full look that highlights a construction of mesh and synthetic fabrics across the upper with the usual toggle enclosure over the forefoot in a crisp tonal white.
