If you love food, you may know Jah Jah. For those who have never heard of it, know that it is a major Afro-Vegan dining spot located in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, which has leveraged the fame of its flavors to create the new shoe Jah Jah x Salomon ACS Pro Kankourang.

This ACS Pro shoe is inspired by Kankourang, a character from the tradition of West Africa that UNESCO defines as “the guardian of peace and justice and the hunter of demons.” Its color is Chocolate Brown, equipped with Kurim system from Salomon, providing more shape and stability. The 3D mesh lining makes the sneaker even more breathable, while there are two tongues at the back.

The sneaker has an Agile Chassis System midsole that makes it particularly comfortable and soft, and a very grippy and non-slip Contagrip sole. The finishing touch of the collaboration is a label on the tongue with the colors red, yellow, and green, a tribute to flags of West African countries like Senegal and Guinea-Bissau.

Salomon is one of the most beloved sneaker brands of 2023 and has played a fundamental role in making the gorpcore trend so popular. According to the latest data from eBay, searches for this outdoor aesthetic have increased by 600% this year compared to last year, thanks to models like the ACS Pro. This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, considering that big names such as Dover Street Market and Lorenz.OG have collaborated on the mountain model. Maison Margiela is also said to be working on its own pair.

The Jah Jah x Salomon ACS Pro Kankourang are available at Salomon and selected retailers worldwide for 210 euros.
