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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xt6-sneaker-2) 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.
