From Alpine Peaks to City Streets — A Trail Running Icon Reimagined in Pristine White
Product Story · A Legendary Evolution from Trail to Street
The Salomon XT-6 was first released in 2013 as a top-tier trail running shoe designed for extreme events like the UTMB (Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc). It was engineered to handle the harshest terrain and weather conditions in the Alps, providing long-distance runners with the ultimate solution for stability, cushioning, and protection. With its distinctive technical appearance and exceptional performance, the XT-6 transitioned from mountain trails to the global fashion stage, becoming an irreplaceable classic in Gorpcore and Techwear styling.
Adapted for the city, the legendary XT-6 takes its legacy of comfort, cushioning and durability and reimagines it with fresh new colours and materials. It takes its place as the icon of Sportstyle, ready to move to the rhythm of the city . The “White / White / Lunar Rock” edition wraps the technical XT-6 upper in a pristine, monochromatic palette — a clean white mesh base with subtle Lunar Rock grey accents on the TPU skeleton and midsole. This white sneaker colourway is incredibly versatile, pairing effortlessly with denim, technical fabrics, and tailored pieces alike.
