Winter, spring, summer, or fall, the UK is always cloudy, rainy, and generally gloomy.

A Gore-Tex Salomon collab from local sneaker boutique Offspring.
Stay Dry in Polka Dots
The Offspring x Salomon XT-6 Gore-Tex Bitter Chocolate is the latest collab pair from the shop with multiple retail locations across London, after years of adidas collabs and a Nike partnership last year.
