Working Class Heroes works on updating the Salomon XT-6 sneaker model for the Fall/Winter 2021 season. The brand prepares the shoes for the wilderness, giving the trail sneakers new aesthetic and functional touches. The lightweight silhouette is enclosed with the brand's notable Quicklace system for easy accessibility.
It is also made using lightweight mesh materials across the upper for a touch of breathability as well. It is then laminated with some TPU film to add an element of protection to the sneakers. All of this sits on top of an EVA midsole foundation and has a ContraGrip rubber tread unit. The rest of the sneaker includes a heel clip at the back and branding details at the heel and the toe section.
