British streetwear label A-COLD-WALL, best known for utilitarian garments and post-industrial outputs, is taking its tactile talents to the trails with Salomon. And honestly, there's no better hiking partner than the certified king of the trails. I.e. Salomon. 

The ACS PRO 2 marries a floating cage system with an asymmetrical lacing system, giving the hiking shoe a utilitarian disposition that sits at the intersection of practicality and architectural aura. It's caged-in, in a good way.

Elsewhere, the ACS PRO 2 wears a mesh upper and frayed midsole detailing which adds an element of deconstruction to the rough-and-tumble sneaker.

From vibe to construction, this sneaker is virtually bulletproof. No, literally. The upper is made with Kevlar mesh, which is literally bullet-resistant. bulletproof. 

Despite the intentional fraying and disassembled aesthetic, the sneaker possesses an undeniable sharpness that pushes the ACS PRO 2 into voguish territory, even though it's a real-deal hiking shoe. Classic Salomon branding lands at the tongue and heel counter, rounding out the ruggedly chic sneaker.

Previously, A-COLD-WALL collaborated with brands like Nike, Converse, and Eastpak, so suffice it to say the British label is well on its way to establishing itself as a cultural behemoth. Now with a Salomon collab under its belt, there's truly no denying the current trajectory A-COLD-WALL is on.
