The Dekmantel x Salomon XT-4 OG Releases July 26

The intersection of electronic music and heritage footwear has found a stunning expression in the debut collaboration between Dekmantel, a pillar of the global electronic music scene, and renowned footwear brand Salomon. The pair have unveiled their unisex shoe, the XT-4 OG, designed specifically for the dynamic festival environment.

The Amsterdam forest, a venue that pulses with the rhythm of more than 15,000 music lovers every year since the inaugural Dekmantel Festival in 2013, inspires this unique partnership. A perfect blend of Dekmantel's raw, organic aesthetics and Salomon's top-tier performance features, the XT-4 OG is designed to withstand the varied terrains and weather conditions a festivalgoer might encounter.

Artist Michael Willis, collaborating with the Salomon design team, has captured the myriad hues of the Amsterdam forest to produce a standout design for the shoe. The result is a pair that pays tribute to the relentless energy of Dekmantel Festival's vibrant crowd of dancers.

This collaborative effort also highlights Dekmantel's fresh creative direction, aligning seamlessly with the festival's renewed identity for 2023. The Salomon XT-4 OG style is a testament to its superior performance features, including the stable, full-length Agile ChassisTM Skeleton, the soft dual-density midsole component, and a 10-millimeter drop.

Dekmantel brings a distinct color palette to the XT-4 OG, dominated by earth tones — from deep lichen and lily pad green to dark earth brown. It's punctuated with unexpected pops of crisp white, safety yellow, and transcend blue, mirroring the energy and vibrancy of the festival scene.

More than just a shoe, this collaborative effort symbolizes the convergence of two distinct visions: Salomon's boundary-pushing ethos in sports footwear and Dekmantel's influence in the electronic music landscape.

The limited-edition Salomon XT-4 OG for Dekmantel unisex style will be available for purchase on Salomon.com from July 26th (10 am CEST).
