Salomon Holiday Tartan Brings Plaid to Technical Trail Models
Salomon Holiday Tartan brings plaid detailing to technical trail silhouettes by applying seasonal textile overlays to three core models: Speedcross 3, XT Whisper and ACS Pro. The capsule frames each shoe with a blend of performance materials and tartan patterns that sit over mesh, supportive panels, and protective toe structures.
Speedcross 3 retains its deep-lug outsole for traction in rain or light snow, while the XT Whisper and ACS Pro prioritize stability and breathability in colder weather. The concept integrates function and visual warmth, using tartan as a soft contrast to the technical forms of the shoes.
The release expands Salomon’s approach to winter city styling by adapting high-function trail footwear for everyday wear during the holiday season. The combination of rugged materials, secure fits, and distinct patterning gives the models versatility across urban and outdoor settings.
