Aries x Salomon Snowclog: An Eco-Conscious Tribute to Japanese Superheroes

Aries and Salomon’s latest collaboration—the Snowclog—is a bold homage to vintage Japanese superhero series of the '70s and '80s, pulling visual cues from Ultraman and Power Rangers in a way that’s unmistakably cool yet functionally forward-thinking. Directed by Dario Vigorito and Douglas Irvine, longtime creative collaborators with Aries, the campaign captures the Snowclog against Menorca’s rugged landscapes, with professional MMA fighters bringing an intense, dynamic edge. The contrasting terrain serves as an ideal setting for a design that bridges Aries’ distinctive streetwear aesthetic with Salomon’s performance-driven heritage.

This updated Snowclog is much more than a nod to past nostalgia. It features a midsole crafted from InfiniFOAM, a fully recyclable material that emphasises eco-friendly innovation without compromising comfort or style. Aries' signature fluorescent accents give the shoe a distinct look, reinforcing the brand’s penchant for eye-catching details. With winter-ready traction and a slip-on design, the Snowclog blends fashion and functionality effortlessly, making it equally suited for the streets and the trails.

Founded by Sofia Prantera, Aries has made a name for itself with collections that merge high-end streetwear with cultural and graphic influences, often pushing the boundaries of gendered fashion and experimental design. Salomon, based in the French Alps, brings its mountain sports expertise to the partnership, resulting in a shoe that not only exudes Aries' punk-luxury spirit but also aligns with Salomon’s commitment to innovation in both function and sustainability.

The Aries x Salomon Snowclog represents a fresh step in eco-conscious design, blending practicality with nostalgia and positioning itself as a symbol of the ongoing dialogue between fashion and sustainable innovation. This collaboration doesn’t just look back—it also paves the way forward for conscious streetwear that’s prepared for any terrain.
