Our Reading
The look feels familiar.
Aerodynamic mapping as a design inspiration is nothing new. We’ve seen it in past collections from Nike and Adidas. The S/Lab Phantasm 3 and ACS Pro enter the cycle with a focus on speed and performance. The chunky sole of the ACS Pro is reminiscent of 90s fashion trends. The collaboration between Salomon and Acronym is the latest example of the ongoing trend of performance meets fashion. The “bold” new designs feel like a rehashing of old ideas.
