Known for its adoration for all things trails, Salomon knows what it takes to create a supportive boot that looks and feels great. While the brand has many trail-ready options, its newest release is ready for a tactical style. Joining them in their release is Paris-based RIER, who is reuniting with Salomon for another rugged footwear option that showcases their nature spirit. Taking inspiration from the majestic Dolomites, the newest trail boot from the duo is a neutral and rough design that includes plenty more details. While the inspiration draws from a rocky terrain, the boot dons a sleek and minimalist exterior that appears sophisticated. Despite its chunky exterior, the boot is made to be worn to its fullest extent.

The newest Xa Mid Gore-Tex Rier boot is an ode to both brands’ love for the mountainscape, expressed in its neutral clay hue. Created with uppers compromised of anti-debris mesh and pu-coated leather, the boot’s base is built with water-repellent protection and comfort in mind. Maximising the boot’s quality is the 3D Advanced Chassis, which is strategically placed between the midsole and outsole for energy management, stability, and balance. The design is made for comfort in the midsole with high-performance EVA foam and a dual-density midsole. The all-terrain contragrip outsole enables usage on all surfaces without stress. Up for grabs via the Salomon web store, the Xa Mid GTX Rier boot retails for $280. With a lightweight and utilitarian design, the new collaborative design between Salomon and Rier is more than just another trail shoe. Fitted with Gore-Tex and plenty of technical features, this rugged option is a stylish option for all trail lovers.

New Balance brings back its beloved barefoot sneaker for another release

New Balance announces new sneaker

New balance purple shoe

Although New Balance is known for its signature chunky silhouette, a more minimal and slim model used to be a crowd favorite, the athletic brand’s barefoot-inspired silhouette is a sleek and subdued design that resembles the natural foot shape. Although many of the most recognized models from the brand are the more voluminous styles, recent trends have cleared the way for the return of slimmed-down shoes. Besides its minimal size, the shoe offers a rugged and durable characteristic that athletes will enjoy. Feeling closer to the ground, this shoe is a one-of-a-kind design that contrasts significantly with the ultra-chunky models the brand has released. Despite its small size, this slim silhouette still offers all of the features and technology you would expect in your athletic footwear, without losing the style that New Balance has come to gain.
