Fashion imprint Madhappy is an advocate of mental health as much as it has its hands in fashion and its latest work is made alongside Salomon, detailing the XT-6 FT sneaker model for the season. The sneakers are detailed with a newly elevated technical upper that is paired with Sensifit layering for a touch of comfort. It also has a Mud Contragrip at the base which is perfect for uneven terrains.
Speaking about the new collaboration, Noah Raf, the founder of Madhappy states, "The Salomon Team both in North America and at their HQ have been a true pleasure to work with. Their deep understanding of product and culture has been inspiring and led us to our first project together on the XT-6 FT."
