Seeing Stars: atmos x Salomon Reunite for Annual Collab on Starry XT-4

It really seems like atmos was saving its best collabs for after it shuttered its US retail outposts. The legacy Japanese sneaker retailer has been on a heater all year, collaborating with brands like New Balance, adidas, Asics, and more, but with the company’s once-prominent retail shops in NYC and Philly long gone, American sneaker heads are often out of luck on the new atmos colorways. That trend continues with a new pair of Salomon XT-4 OGs that almost certainly will never drop stateside.

The atmos x Salomon XT-4 OG Stars Collide II is a sequel to a 2023 XT-6 collab that featured a steel blue colorway with star graphics on the toe. This time around, the XT-4 gets a dark navy blue upper like a rip-stop night sky, with two styles of star graphic covering the toebox and side panel behind metallic silver support panels.

Salomon has partnered with atmos every year for the past few years, releasing an annual colorway designed by the boutique. After the first Stars Collide collab, the brands came together for another XT-6 in a Concrete Jungle colorway that kept the all-over print accents but traded the stars for spots.

The atmos x Salomon XT-4 OG Stars Collide II will be released December 2025 exclusively through atmos. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is still TBD. For all the latest collab drop dates and news, make sure to tap in with the Sole Retriever mobile app.
