With the Bodega x Salomon X-Mission 4 Suede “Full Bleed”, the Boston-based retailer went all in to showcase one of Salomon’s premier everyday sneakers in a new light. Inspired by the brand’s deep connection to outdoor exploration and our never-ending fascination with purposeful footwear, the X-Mission 4 Suede balances controlled details with spontaneous ones, creating a wearable ecosystem for your feet that can handle the streets just as well as the trails.
Centered around a nylon ripstop upper featuring a ‘stormy sky’ tie-dye treatment, not only does each pair have a unique 1/1 pattern, the darker, smokey palette provides a refreshing take on conventional tie-dye. But think less ‘cloudy day downer’ and more ‘smoke machine at a concert anticipation’ because along with rugged black suede overlays, it’s all building toward choreographed pops of yellow, pink, and blue-green, not to mention 3M fabric placed throughout. These moves directly reference the phenomenon of color found in the most unexpected of places. And when thinking about it, we went biological and couldn’t shake the image of cat eyes when light reflects just right. Known as tapetum lucidum, we wanted to channel this magic reaction to light in a way that made the sneaker feel alive.
