Salomon x Y/Project review
The meeting between Salomon and Y/Project is a sneaker characterized by a experimental and cutting-edge design. If it is true that we have entered the era of post-sneakers and, alternatively, retro-futuristic slim silhouettes, the work of Glenn Martens on the Speedcross 3 has been appreciated for both its design and colorways. The Salomon Speedcross 3 Y/Project combine urban aesthetics with technical cutting-edge thanks to the couture reinterpretation of the upper, made with fluid technical details.
The legacy of the Salomon Speedcross 3
The Salomon Speedcross 3 have always been a benchmark in the world of trail running. Their Contagrip sole, designed to tackle the toughest terrains, and the enveloping upper have made them a must-have for athletes and outdoor enthusiasts. L edit by Glenn Martens, creative director of the French fashion brand, has made these shoes even more iconic. Equipped with a lightweight construction and effective cushioning for optimal comfort, it also features an unmatched tread pattern with high grip. An indispensable sports model, it is a must-have choice for those who love a disruptive and unconventional style.
How are the Salomon x Y/Project sneakers made?
The Y/Project version of the Speedcross 3 comes in both a black colorway with touches of blue, red, and yellow, in line with the in-your-face trail running heritage of the silhouette, and in a softer gray colorway with accents in white and black. Martens is known for his skill in draping and weaving fabrics, which is at the heart of the collaboration thanks to an oversized veil that hangs in front of the tongue with shared branding, as well as the ruched fabric on the upper that disrupts the standard design lines of the silhouette.
