Combining Salomon’s outdoor-ready silhouettes with Boris Saberi’s mountain climbing aesthetic.

Salomon has elevated itself into a higher realm of fashion thanks to the new wave of gorpcore enthusiasts and through collaborative efforts with various high-end brands across the industry. Working with German-born designer Boris Bidjan Saberi in the past, the two European labels are joining forces once again and bringing forth the 11 By Boris Bidjan Saberi x Salomon “Athletic Bouldering” Collection.

Taking a variant of the Salomon XT, Boris brings us a low-cut version of the model and covers the silhouette in a stealthy black hue while the underlay around the midfoot and collar comes in a lighter shade of black. Nylon overlays zig-zag across the midfoot and stop near the lateral sides heel overlay, the latter of which hosts text with co-branded details. For lacing, we can see the model utilizes the Quicklace system Salomon is famous for as it takes on a bungee pull string allowing for easy lockdown. Underfoot sits a chunky all-black foam midsole paired with a matching rubber outsole.

On top of the footwear, we can see in this teaser image outerwear that follows suit with the all-black design of the sneaker, likely constructed with weatherproof materials. On top of the shirt, pants, and parka, a co-branded backpack will also be a part of the collection.

The 11 By Boris Bidjan Saberi x Salomon Athletic Boulder Collection is set to release in the Fall/Winter 2023 season through Salomon and select retailers online and in-store. As of this writing, the pricing information for the footwear and clothing is TBA.
