Japanese retailer Beams is well-known for its exclusive releases with footwear brands across the industry. New Balance may be the most popular of these drops, but French outdoor experts Salomon have given the retailer an exclusive colorway of the Salomon ACS + OG.
The modern interpretation of Salomon’s Y2K-era footwear is done up here in a clean grey and black color scheme with pops of lemon yellow throughout. An open-spaced grey mesh covers the base, contrasted by the black TPU cage on the midfoot and the textured TPU plugs inserted into the grey leather panels on the toe and midfoot. Salomon logos swap between lemon and grey depending on their location, with the former of the two colors featured on the tongue tag, lateral toe cap, and lateral heel.

Since this is an exclusive colorway and not a direct collaboration, branding for Beams is not present on the sneaker. Of course, the sneaker's technical aspects remain intact, including the quicklace system and sensiFIT tech that cradles the midsole to the lacing system, an Agile Chassis System, and EnergyCell cushioning. The grey and black midsole and outsole finish the design.
The Beams-exclusive Salomon ACS + OG will release via Beams online and in-store on June 7, 2025. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at ¥26,400 (approx $185).
