A-COLD-WALL* x Salomon ACS Pro Releases July 2026
Samuel Ross's A-COLD-WALL* has partnered with Salomon to reimagine the ACS Pro, the storied 2005 trail silhouette that has regained momentum in contemporary sneaker culture. Two distinct colorways debut July 1, 2026, each featuring refined material construction and design touches that underscore the collaboration's technical approach.
By Jordan Ellis
The ACS Pro continues its unlikely renaissance in an era that favors vintage outdoor hardware. After gaining traction through recent collaborations—most notably L'Art de l'Automobile—the Salomon trail runner now finds itself in the hands of A-COLD-WALL*, where architectural precision meets functional footwear design.
Ross and his imprint have approached the shoe with the restraint their brand is known for. Rather than graphic overstatement, the collaboration opts for material innovation. Both colorways retire the original leather and mesh construction in favor of a cleaner mesh upper paired with protective rubber paneling around the toe box. The structural integrity remains, but the visual language shifts toward minimalism.
Design Details
The two colorways demonstrate range without excess. The first combines olive green and beige tones with a grey midsole—a palette that reads intentional, almost architectural. The second ventures into bolder territory with royal blue and yellow accents, though the restraint in its application prevents it from feeling casual. Both pairs share a signature detail: lace eyelets affixed to the cage feature a woodgrain-like finish, a subtle textural reference that elevates the everyday functional element.
The ACS Pro's resurgence reflects a broader market shift toward considered outdoor design over logo-driven aesthetics. Salomon's technical lineage—decades of alpine expertise—has suddenly become relevant to a generation seeking authenticity in their footwear. A-COLD-WALL*'s involvement signals that the trail shoe has crossed fully from niche to cultural currency.
