11 BY BBS x Solomon Bamba 5
The Bamba 5 is where the avant-garde meets the trail, a Salomon silhouette reimagined through the experimental hand of 11 by Boris Bidjan Saberi. Each pair is garment-dyed using the label's signature process, lending a worn, one-of-a-kind finish atop a technical mesh upper and grippy CONTAGRIP sole. Sculptural yet quietly functional, these sneakers carry the same uncompromising attitude that defines the wider 11 by Boris Bidjan Saberi world.

The 11 by Boris Bidjan Saberi Philosophy
Launched in 2013 as the diffusion line of designer Boris Bidjan Saberi, 11 by Boris Bidjan Saberi distils the mainline's avant-garde sensibility into something sportier and more wearable. The numeral 11 nods to the designer's own birthday, 11 September, and has become shorthand for an aesthetic that draws freely on skate, punk and hip-hop culture. Where the eponymous label leans sculptural and severe, the 11 by Boris Bidjan Saberi world is looser, dyed and lived-in, built for the street rather than the runway.
Inside the Salomon Bamba 5 Collaboration
The Bamba 5 marks one of the label's most compelling footwear partnerships, pairing Salomon's trail-running engineering with the experimental finishing that defines the house. Each pair begins with a technical mesh and stretch-textile upper before passing through 11 by BBS's garment-dyeing process, which leaves every shoe with a uniquely washed, faded character. A rubber CONTAGRIP outsole delivers genuine grip, so these are sneakers built to be worn hard and worn often. The result feels less like a product and more like an artefact, no two pairs quite alike.
Complete the Look
The Bamba 5 sits naturally alongside the rest of the label's offering. Dressed back with the dyed jerseys, layered knits and relentlessly detailed outerwear of the 11 by BBS clothing range, the silhouette reads as part of a complete, considered wardrobe. Finish the look with the leather goods and hardware from the 11 by BBS accessories edit, where the same artisanal approach extends to wallets, bags and small leather pieces.
