Running and hiking are trendier than ever, and honestly, that’s probably a good thing for the health of hypebeasts everywhere.

If you’re out putting in work at 5 AM, you know that everyone else you see out is doing the same.

The BSTN x Salomon XT-6 5 AM is the first collab between German sneaker boutique BSTN and the gorpcore favorite, reimagining the beloved XT-6 silhouette as the sunrise itself, adding a color-shifting silvery-blue structure on top of a black mesh base. A sunrise gradient mix of blue and orange is added to the co-branded insoles to drive the theme home.
