Salomon is celebrating its 10th anniversary by releasing an anniversary-celebrating sporty sneaker of its XT-6 in a triple red '10 Years' colorway. The XT-6 is one of Salomon's popular sneaker models that was first launched in 2013 and built to withstand the extreme conditions of ultramarathons in the mountains.
The XT-6's original designer Benjamin Grenet crafted the triple red sneaker with the "10 Years" wording. The sneaker is covered in an all-red color scheme. The sneaker has synthetic overlays and mudguards with a synthetic mesh base. The midsole has a pebbled ACS Muscle foam for comfort. Additional features include a Quicklace fit system and Contagrip sole. A sizable Salomon Lab tag on the lateral heel lists the sneakers with the text "prototype" and its individual unit number. The sneaker only has 804 units made, and each pair comes with a special box, drawstring bag, and socks. The sneaker will be available on March 28.
