Anyone else remember that @salomon shoe that looked vaguely similar to the Nike Flightposite? Looks like they updated it with a @commes.des.garcons stamp, too...

Where I'm from - Lake Tahoe - I grew up knowing Salomon more as a ski-boot brand than anything, and that's been a hard one to shake...interesting to see them in the streetwear scene...

I won't lie and pretend like I know all that much about them or what's going on, but I find it interesting how some of these traditional brands have been 'reinventing themselves' in the streetwear scene...TNF been doing it, Carhartt within the past 10 years or so, and now Salomon...I'm sure I'm missing plenty more, but all of these brands represented VERY different things when I was a kid than they do now...

Anyway just an observation.
