Boris Bidjan Saberi, his diffusion line 11 by BBS, is probably the only (successful) one who could creatively mix the worlds of Techwear and artisan (avant-garde) together. In recent years, Salomon has elevated from its pure outdoor status to a high-level fashion/outdoor/Techwear cult brand, its collaboration partners include Boris Bidjan Saberi, and Wander, Avnier, Fumito Ganryu, BEAMS, and Palace Skateboards.
The collaboration of Salomon and Boris Bidjan Saberi is nothing new, although the project has been around for a while, and it is getting traction, the combination of the leather upper, the mesh lining, Velcro fastening, interesting garment-dyeing treatment, and the rubber CONTAGRIP outsole is still very fascinating.
11 by Boris Bidjan Saberi collection can be acquired at SSENSE, range from US$365 to US$605. Also, check out other cool posts about Techwear.
