Name: URBAN RESEARCH × Salomon XA PRO 3D GTX “Brown”Colorway: “Brown”SKU: TBCMSRP: ¥23,100 JPY (approx. $147 USD)Release Date: October 2026URBAN RESEARCH reunites with Salomon for another exclusive color treatment, this time applying a subdued “Brown” palette to the XA PRO 3D GTX. Currently announced as a single colorway, the trail-derived silhouette combines a deep brown-to-burgundy mesh base with glossy black structural overlays, while cool slate-blue and grey panels cut through the darker upper for a subtle contrast.Reflective-looking trim around the angular cage and heel brings additional definition to the layered construction, complemented by black Quicklace-style lacing, a protective toe structure and a predominantly black sole unit. Large Salomon branding across the heel provides one of the clearest graphic accents, giving the otherwise earthy treatment a distinctly technical finish.Functionality remains rooted in the XA PRO 3D GTX’s outdoor origins, pairing its supportive, reinforced upper with GORE-TEX weather protection and a substantial trail-ready outsole designed to maintain stability and traction across changing conditions.
