Navigating through the intersection of fashion and functionality, and wander, the esteemed Japanese outerwear label is again joining forces with French outdoor brand Salomon. The collaboration continues to build on the success of their previous joint efforts, which have taken over models like the XT-6, XT-Slate, and Jungle Ultra. Now, the duo are tackling the XA Pro 3D Gore-Tex.
The and wander x Salomon XA Pro 3D Gore-Tex hiking sneaker is adorned in tonal brown and black hues, which lay gracefully across its blend of mesh, leather, rubber, and suede upper. Integrating Gore-Tex materials ensures the sneaker is well-equipped for challenging weather conditions, guaranteeing durability and water resistance without compromising style. Technical features, including the speed lacing system and an aggressively lugged outsole, echo Salomon’s signature attention to performance needs. The co-branding details are subtly placed, with and wander and Salomon logos prominently displayed on the spine of the tongue, lateral heel, and atop the tongue. Gore-Tex branding is also thoughtfully included, spelled out near the toe, and attached to a tag on the heel. The final touch is a robust black rubber midsole and outsole, enhancing the sneaker's trail-ready credentials while maintaining a sleek aesthetic.
The and wander x Salomon XA Pro 3D Gore-Tex was released in Japan on August 11, 2023. A worldwide drop will occur on September 10, 2023, through Salomon, and wander, and select online and in-store retailers. Coming in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at approximately $227.
