The French fashion realm has long been revered for its adeptness at melding luxury aesthetics with practicality. It holds as PHILÉO, a prominent French fashion brand, collaborates with fellow countrymen, Salomon, a brand deeply rooted in outdoor performance gear. Salomon has carved its niche in the realm of footwear, bringing durable yet stylish shoes that strike a balance between nature's beauty and the rigors of urban life. Now, with PHILÉO's influence, a fresh interpretation of Salomon's XT-SP1 is on the horizon, marking another milestone in cross-industry collaborations.
The upcoming PHILÉO x Salomon XT-SP1 Pack offers two distinct colorways: a stealthy Black and a vibrant Pink. Both iterations display an engineered mesh upper that boasts a fuzzy, suede-like texture, elegantly combined with durable TPU reinforcements. While the tonal scheme remains consistent, the branding details add depth and a narrative to the shoe. Salomon's iconic logos remain in their traditional spots, but PHILÉO's influence is seen with their branding distinctly placed on the tongues of the sneakers. Inside, the shoes pamper the feet with an internally contrasting sockliner and insole – an earthy green for the Black version and a punchy pink for its Pink counterpart. Functionality and comfort aren't compromised, thanks to the robust sole unit featuring dual-density foam and the reliable Agile Chassis system.
The PHILÉO x Salomon XT-SP1 Pack will release November 2, 2023, via PHILÉO, and November 9 via worldwide retailers. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $305.
