Over the past two years, performance-oriented stalwarts at Salomon have had their XT-6 Advanced silhouette infiltrate tastemakers’ digital profiles. And while yet to see the widespread attention of sportswear’s biggest players, the France-based company has garnered fandom among savvy fashion enthusiasts. For its next proposition, the brand is launching two options under its 11 by Boris Bidjan Saberi imprint via Foot Locker, Inc.’s Greenhouse platform.
Comprised of the Bamba 2 High, Boot 2 GTX and a handful of apparel pieces, the forthcoming collection mixes style and high-functionality. While German-born Saberi has been expression his take on sportswear through Salomon since 2017, the Greenhouse-exclusive collection is the first time he utilizes an experimental “Patina Blue.” Because of their meticulous dying, no two pairs of the technical shoes are alike, which modernizes the partnership’s utilitarian aesthetic. Each model’s functional construction indulges in eye-catching tones.
The next 11S by BBS collection arrives via the Greenhouse app: the Boot 2 GTX is priced at $490 USD, while the Bamba 2 High comes in at $495 USD.
Elsewhere in sneaker news, the reflective adidas Yeezy Boost 380 “Alien Blue” is set to launch before 2021 ends.
