Sofia Prantera’s ARIES label has teased a forthcoming footwear project this week. The London-based label already has projects with New Balance, Vans, Reebok, and Crocs under their belt, and has a new partnership with Salomon growing. Aries’ focus is on unisex clothing, adding graphic designs that are inspired by the ’80s and ’90s punk & rave scenes. Their founder, trained at Central Saint Martins in London often references Italian craftsmanship in their designs, a nod to her own roots in the country.
The first link up between Aries and Salomon dropped late in 2024. The two released dual colorways of the Snowclog silhouette, and are moving on to trail runners for their next release. Coming in 2026, Aries and Salomon have drafted two very unique styles of the Xt-Whisper retro. The first pair comes in a red and hot pink makeup, featuring a gradient mesh underlay and black accents. The second pair is much more subtle, dressed in pitch black with a few chocolate brown panels around the collars and tongue. Both styles feature the Aries Column logo on the tongues.
