As the elder sibling to the XT-6, Salomon's XT-4 has experienced widespread acclaim on and off the trail since its introduction in the early 2010s. The foam midsole, complete with a full-length Agile Chassis System, offers unparalleled cushioning and support for distances exceeding 150km. Breathable mesh uppers are reinforced with a welded TPU film for enhanced resistance to abrasive damage.
For those in the know, this colorway will undoubtedly spark recognition. This striking, flame-inspired colorway is the original – the very first XT-4. As with all of Salomon's S/LAB models from that time, these were adorned with the boldest red hue imaginable. The intent was to ensure Salomon athletes were unmistakable from afar — and boy were they.
Now, after being announced earlier this year, the OG Salomon XT-6 "Firey Red" has just hit select global stockists, including Australia's Up There Store, and online at Salomon.com for $220 USD.
