L’Art de L’Automobile and Salomon are Back on the Track with a Quest 2 Collab

Salomon has been inundating gorpcore fans with collabs for a few years now, covering everything from South Florida skate shops to South American reggaeton stars, with stops in London, at Kith, and a Mexico City taco shop along the way. Salomon’s favorite collaborator, though? That’s gotta be L’Art de L’Automobile.

The Fast and The French

The French car culture label set the ACS Pro on fire when the silhouette first resurfaced four years back, and since then the speedsters have dropped an XT-4 OG and Speedcross 3 in red and blue Porsche colorways, plus a new take on the ACS Pro earlier this year with a matching S/LAB PHANTASM 3 for the runners. On the new Quest 2, L’Art is adding more branding than usual, but in its most subtle colorway yet.

The L'Art de L'Automobile x Salomon XT-Quest 2 is a fall-ready mix of black and olive green leather, with a tough black synthetic toecap to match the black midsole, with olive carbon fiber details in the middle. Behind the toecap, the rest of the upper is a mix of olive green leather and mesh, with a large L'Art de L'Automobile logo embossed on the side panel and more branding on the top of the tongue. Last but not least, hiking-style lace loops hold a bright green set of laces for a pop of color.

L’ART x Salomon XT-Quest 2 Release Details

The L’ART x Salomon XT-Quest 2 will be released October 28, 2026 through L’ART, with no word yet on a follow-up drop through Salomon. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is still TBD. To keep up with all the latest Salomon collab news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
