Once again, Salomon and MM6 Maison Margiela are joining forces to release two new designs, and this drop is unlike their previous work. This time around the two fashion-forward brands are reworking two Salomon designs to make them even more captivating and modern. The two new sneakers speak to a contemporary approach to the trails as they were redesigned with an urban eye. While one of the new designs comes in a bright and vibrant hue, the other is perfect for minimalists who love a sleeker touch. Although both are unconventional in their ways, they make for the perfect statement footwear for your closet, whether or not you hit the trails.

Cross Low and Acs Pro Mm6 Maison Margiela

For their latest collaboration, Salomon and Mm6 Maison Margiela redesigned the “Speedcross” shoe and renamed it “Cross Low.” This distinct silhouette includes a nylon closure that connects to a hi-tech molded composite sole via tapered waterproof seams. The inner slip-on shoe made of 3D mesh allows users to find a more comfortable and snug fit. The Speedcross’ redesigned lug pattern gives wearers a better feel and more stability. This shoe is ideal for all hikers as the waterproof design works from the inside out.

How to clean suede shoes without damaging them

Step-by-step guide to get your shoes back to new

No matter the season or occasion, suede shoes offer a unique texture to your looks. Typically, suede shoes are ideal footwear for dressier events, giving you a more luxurious and sophisticated touch. However, despite the event or outfit, suede shoes offer a distinct challenge in keeping them clean. Unlike other materials, keeping your suede shoes clean is a lot more difficult than just dusting off dirt.

Removing scuffs and dirt when suede shoes get dirty can become a hassle, considering how suede fabrics entrap them. For that reason, you’ll want to frequently care for your suede footwear to keep them pristine and in shape for plenty more years. Although it takes a few more steps, cleaning suede isn’t too challenging and is the perfect remedy for stubborn dirt and stains. You can clean any suede footwear from sneakers to boots; however, it’s important to handle it with care as this fabric is easy to mishandle.

In recent seasons, New Balance has reached into its vault to rerelease archival designs with modern updates. One of the latest archives to get updated is the 860v2, which has already seen a few remixes in the past. However, this time around, New Balance is teaming up with COMME des GARÇONS to create two new colorways that lean into a sleek and stealthy design. With a much cleaner and smoother look than New Balance is accustomed to, the 860v2 appears like an entirely new sneaker. A great option for those looking for a sophisticated lifestyle or running shoe, this collaboration mixes luxury with the practicality of running sneakers.

In this collaborative sneaker, CDG and New Balance have created a slimmed-down silhouette and used smoother materials for a sleek look. Available in two monochromatic colorways, the 860v2 contains subtle tonal variations and mesh overlays for a cohesive aesthetic. Both color options have a white midsole with grey and black outsoles. In the two colorways, silver accents detail the heels, giving them some extra depth and edge. Above the pull tab, wearers will find the iconic red NB logo. Further branding comes inside the soles and tongue with COMME des GARÇONS and New Balance logos.
