Salomon and Jeong Li Reveal The Sculptural XA PRO 3D Collaboration | stupidDOPE | Est. 2008
Briefly

Salomon collaborates with South Korean designer Jeong Li to redefine the XA PRO 3D sneaker, transforming it into a piece reflecting the dialogue between nature, time, and design. Li's approach draws inspiration from the gradual shaping of landscapes, with concepts of erosion and fossilization embedded in the design. The sneaker is available in two contrasting colorways: the sleek 'Black / Asphalt' and the warm 'Sierra / Henna / French Roast,' reinforcing its connection to natural forms, while still maintaining the functional traits expected from Salomon's performance footwear technology.
Jeong Li's interpretation of the XA PRO 3D draws directly from nature's most sculptural moments, exploring themes of erosion, fossilization, and the slow shaping of landscapes.
The aesthetic narrative is anchored in visual metaphors for time, layered textures, and fossil-like motifs that reference how environments change and how humans interact with those changes.
The sneakers arrive in two striking color stories: 'Black / Asphalt' feels modern and minimal, while 'Sierra / Henna / French Roast' evokes earthy warmth of sunbaked canyon walls.
While the styling reflects Li's artistic hand, the XA PRO 3D's performance DNA remains intact, featuring Salomon's proprietary Quicklace™ system for ease of use.
