Design features the olive nubuck upper

The shoe combines olive nubuck with rugged black protection elements. An oversized black toe cap wraps around the forefoot to create a tougher finish. Tonal stitching keeps the overall build understated while silver hardware adds metallic shine.

Automotive details appear on the heel

A circular car graphic is embossed near the heel of the sneaker. White L'ART lettering appears across the tongue alongside Salomon branding on the black forefoot guard. The midsole features brown-to-olive marbling that resembles weathered oil stains.

Trail-ready construction remains intact

The model retains its substantial trail-ready construction with a stability-focused bottom unit. A deeply lugged outsole provides grip for various surfaces. The collaboration shifts the brands focus toward people who keep cars moving.
