One of Europe’s premier footwear destinations, Asphaltgold has recently expanded its physical presence, opening a new location in Frankfurt, Germany, in April. The German city must have had a profound impact on Asphaltgold, as the retailer is launching a new collaboration with Salomon on the XT-4 inspired by one of the city’s most renowned landmarks.
Frankfurt Airport, the busiest airport in the country and sixth busiest in Europe, inspires the new Salomon XT-4. More specifically, the concept of travel serves as the design anchor for the collab, as the silver accents and sleek metallic aesthetic reference the aesthetic of modern airports. A wavy pattern on the fused TPU overlays reflects light just like the glass facades of the airport gates.
