Salomon just revived its beloved Snowclog ahead of this winter, giving the grippy slip-on a more modern and technical mesh upper. A mid-top boot and modular version with two levels of coverage have also been added to the Snowclog lineup, and now the model is undergoing yet another transformation with the help of an Italian streetwear brand.
The Aries x Salomon Snowclog sees the silhouette become a full-blown technical sneaker. While the spiky sole unit remains the same, the upper has been bolstered with a proper tongue and speed-lacing system, as well as a leather overlays and rubber bumpers. Reinforcements continue to the heel with a leather patch hosting Aries’ signature Roman entryway with an “A” on the left shoe and Salomon’s “S” on the right. Salomon’s name is also situated inside a Roman column beneath the lateral collar.
The visible mesh that still remains after the reconstruction takes on a single diagonal highlighter streak on each side. The white pair is hit with a dash of orange, while black gets a dash of green. Both sneakers then feature reflective silver detailing including the aforementioned branding hits.
Aries’ reimagining of the Snowclog gives more utility to silhouette blending the casual and the technical and also ups the style factor for what had already been lauded both inside and out of gorp circles. If you want to actually hike in this shoe, you’ll be in good shape not to roll an ankle. But if you just want your kicks to be praised on the streets, there’s a good chance of that happening, too.
The collaboration’s campaign is inspired by Japanese superhero series from the ’70s and ’80s and features living, breathing strongmen in the former of professional MMA fighters.
The Aries x Salomon Snowclog will release Thursday, November 14, through both parties’ websites, as well as select third-party retailers. Pricing is set at $160.
