Scrunchies belong on hair but for Y/PROJECT, they are bringing that concept to the feet. Renowned for challenging traditional norms, Y/PROJECT imbues its signature scrunching to the Salomon Speedcross 3. While both brands are French, they each bring distinctly different qualities to the collaboration, tying in Y/PROJECT's extravagance with Salomon's functionality. Thus, the Speedcross 3 Y/PROJECT.

So, yeah. The scrunching, what's that about? These Speedcross 3 models now feature scrunched fabric textures that are crafted with innovative drawstring details that hold the drapes in place, and beneath, reveal Salomon's acclaimed Sensifit™ tech. This is the sort of feature that'll have fashion geeks stopping in their tracks.

Beyond the aesthetics, the shoe boasts Salomon's Speedcross lug pattern—engineered for unparalleled traction on a variety of surfaces. If you're concerned that the drapes add weight, they don't. The protective lightweight band around the base not only shields the foot from the outdoors but also maintains the shoe's lightweight feel.

Available in black with vibrant accents and a classic, yet refined grey colourway, this one-of-a-kind collaboration marks one of Glenn Martens' final projects as Y/PROJECT's creative director before he embarks on other ventures.

The Salomon Speedcross 3 Y/PROJECT is now exclusively available at the Salomon Orchard Central store and online.
