Overview
The Salomon XT-6 launched in 2013 as an ultra-distance trail racing shoe, built for runners covering long distances over rough mountain ground. Its Sensifit cage wraps the midfoot, the Quicklace system cinches the whole upper with one pull, and the Contagrip outsole handles loose and uneven terrain. A decade later it became one of the defining shoes of the gorpcore movement, and remains Salomon's most recognisable silhouette.
Description
This is the Black Almond Cream colourway of the Salomon XT-6. It released on 2 March 2026. It's an easy pair to build an outfit around, and works as readily with denim as it does with technical or tailored pieces. Sourced brand new and authenticated, and shipped from New Zealand with free delivery on orders over $350.
