Virginia-based Korean designer VANDYTHEPINK is teaming up with Salomon Sportstyle for a “Burger” iteration of the Speedcross 3.
The burger is a mascot and signature motif for Vandy’s brand, with many of his designs inspired by the staple fast food menu item. The Vandy Burger Shoe, a flip on the Dunk Low from a few years back, has become one of the designer’s most viral products. More recently, in 2023, Vandy released a “Burger” Wallabee in collaboration with Clarks Originals.
For his first collaboration with Salomon, Vandy is now remixing the Speedcross 3 trail running shoe with a burger-inspired colorway. Uppers are constructed from an off-white mesh, representing the inner sides of the buns, while the brown overlays and tongues represent the beef patty. The overlays transition into a golden yellow at the toe, representing the cheese. Sockliners come in green to represent the lettuce, and red on the outsole for ketchup/tomato completes the color scheme. As a final touch, french fry graphics cover the co-branded insoles.
The VANDYTHEPINK x Salomon Speedcross 3 is set to drop this November via Vandy’s webstore, the Salomon website, and select retailers. Grab a preview below and stay tuned to Modern Notoriety for updates.
