Carhartt Work In Progress (WIP) is the workwear brand’s fashion side, with carefully curated blends of Americana, European style, skateboarding, and music culture combined to create a streetwear style rooted in the brand’s Michigan origins. Just because WIP gear is more fashion-forward and costs a bit more than regular Carhartt doesn’t mean the brand can’t get rugged, though. The latest collab from Carhartt WIP is a second partnership with Salomon on a leather and suede trail shoe designed to look like a boot.
The Carhartt WIP x Salomon X-ALP features a black base in multiple carefully selected fabrics. The toe gets a grainy, rough leather that evolves to suede overlays across the rest of the upper. WIP’s classic tan, green, and maroon camo pattern is added on the tongue and ankle collar, and insoles for a bit of collab branding. Carhartt logos are added on the heel tab and the insoles, and the colorway is finished with light speckling on the black midsole.
