The Salomon VANDYTHEPINK SPEEDCROSS 3 is a Feast for the Eyes
Serving up a delectable collaboration, Salomon and VANDYTHEPINK introduce the VANDYTHEPINK Speedcross 3, a reimagined take on heritage, inspired by the layers of a burger.
It goes without saying that creative multi-hyphenate Junghoon Son, better known as VANDYTHEPINK, is here for an unconventional, playful point of inspiration. More specifically, shining a light on the art of the humble burger to fuel his creations. We’ve seen it in his unique take on the Wallabee, and the infamous Burger ‘Dunks’ – and now, the South Korean artist is uniting with Salomon for an elevation of the burger-shoe-phenomenon.
“Salomon has been one of my favourite brands for a while, and I’m super grateful for the opportunity to represent my culture as the first Korean-owned brand they’ve collaborated with. I wanted to create something playful and fun for your next trail run but stylish enough to wear on the street. The Speedcross 3’s versatility and sophistication made it the perfect foundation for this project.” – VANDYTHEPINK
A Closer Look at the Salomon VANDYTHEPINK SPEEDCROSS 3 (LI6990)…
This bold release celebrates the colourful, multi-textured personality of VANDYTHEPINK – blending artistry and utility in equal measure. Playfully expressing a fun graphic layout, the upper pays rightful tribute to each element of the burger, a warm, toasty brown bun, vibrant green lettuce, and rich, savoury tones representing the patty. But the real pièce de résistance? A cheeky homage to fries hidden in the sock liner, showcasing an all-over print that ties the meal together. Embodying the tongue-in-cheek approach of VANDYTHEPINK’s fun storytelling through fashion, these kicks go way beyond just a pretty shoe.
The Speedcross 3’s technical prowess elevates the design to more than just a visual feast. The breathable open mesh upper ensures maximum airflow, while Salomon’s legendary lug pattern delivers unmatched grip across diverse terrains. A protective band around the base offers lightweight durability, allowing wearers to transition seamlessly from rugged trails to urban escapades.
