The Salomon ACS Pro is a performance trail shoe with decades of history crossing over from the outdoor space to a gorpcore favorite, but in the hands of Arthur Kar’s L’ART label, the silhouette takes on new life as a race car pulled straight off the track. For the third collab between the French racing-inspired streetwear brand and the French sportswear brand, L’ART adds another ACS Pro colorway alongside a S/LAB PHANTASM 3 running shoe.
The L’ART x Salomon Spring 2026 collection features a wash of bright colors just like past collections, but this time, the standout pair is made for speed as well as fashion. Let’s start with the ACS Pro, though, which once again takes on the look of a track-ready supercar. Adding a 42 to the lateral side panel like a NASCAR entrant, the gradient color combo adds hot red, yellow, and orange at the heel and cool blue at the toe with black everywhere in between.
On the S/LAB PHANTASM 3, the 42 is added to the medial heel, with a Salomon logo on the lateral heel, a L’ART logo on the lateral toe, and a KARACING logo across the white sheath that spreads down across the top of the shoe. Under the tight mesh cover, a mix of yellow, green, blue, red, and white blends like a heat map all the way down to the midsole.
“To me, shoes move people just like cars do,” says Arthur Kar, founder of L’ART and L’Art de L’Automobile. “The Phantasm 3 draws direct inspiration from sports cars, both in its look and in the technology behind it. Salomon engineered it with aerodynamic performance in mind, the same way you would design race cars. The connection between these two worlds felt natural, and I knew it had to be expressed the L’ART way while building an entire capsule around it.”
The L’ART x Salomon Spring 2026 collection will be released April 8, 2026 through L’ART, followed by a drop from Broken Arrow in Paris and Salomon on April 11, 2026, and finally, a global release on April 14, 2026. Available in unisex sizing, the retail prices are set at $225 for the ACS Pro and $300 for the S/LAB PHANTASM 3.
