The Salomon XT-6 is a high-performance trail running shoe that was initially released as part of the brand's adventure racing series. Known for its durability and comfort over long distances, the XT-6 quickly gained popularity among ultra-runners and outdoor enthusiasts after its introduction in the early 2010s. The shoe features a dual-density EVA cushioning, a TPU film welded on abrasion-resistant mesh for durability, an Agile Chassis System for stability, and a Contragrip outsole for traction. Although originally designed for trail running, the XT-6's sleek, technical aesthetic has caught the attention of the fashion world, leading to collaborations with brands such as atmos, Palace, and Dover Street Market, further cementing the XT-6 as a versatile shoe for both performance and style.
