Andrew Rizzo Italian retailer Slam Jam is trekking back up to the French Alps for another collaboration with Salomon, this time turning its attention to the heavy-duty XA PRO 3D trail runner.
Slam Jam and Salomon have come together several times in recent years, including on some supremely dope skiing and snowboarding collabs. This sneaker continues the brand’s past work on models like the XT-4 and XT-Quest 1, once again delivering subtle, tasteful hardware tweaks. The base features a more open mesh fabric than usual, complemented by a new heel pull tab and updated eyelet positioning over the toe box. The mostly all-black colorway is standard, but silver underlays add a welcome pop. Co-branding is kept pretty quiet, anchored by Slam Jam logos on the tongue, spine, and insoles.
The gallery below also shows a GORE-TEX tag affixed to the lateral side of the heel, promising a high standard of waterproofing and durability. OrthoLite insoles provide comfort, and a contaGRIP outsole ensures you’re ready for any terrain.
The Slam Jam x Salomon XA PRO 3D doesn’t have a concrete release date yet, but that should change in the near future. General release colorways retail for $150, although this collab might fetch a slightly higher MSRP. See detailed pics below and stay tuned for more info.
