BEAMS Gives the Salomon XT-QUEST an Alpine Makeover

Salomon and Japanese retailer BEAMS are back with another footwear collaboration, this time putting a winter-ready spin on the XT-QUEST BEAMS.

The latest project brings together Salomon's technical outdoor footwear and BEAMS' approach to everyday style, borrowing design cues from ski boots for a more rugged take on the trail silhouette.

The all-black pair features a technical upper constructed with premium ripstop materials and waterproof GORE-TEX protection. The standout detail is the dual-buckle fastening system across the forefoot, replacing the usual outdoor lacing setup with hardware inspired by ski boots. Traditional laces remain underneath, while reinforced panels, a substantial sole, and heel pull tabs complete the design.

The result stays close to Salomon's outdoor roots, with the added hardware giving the XT-QUEST a distinctly alpine look. It's a fitting choice for the colder months, especially as technical footwear continues to find a place in everyday wardrobes.

The Salomon x BEAMS XT-QUEST is available now at participating BEAMS stores and through the retailer's official online shop. A wider global release is scheduled for November 12, 2026, through Salomon.com and select retail partners.
