Salomon, once a subsidiary of Adidas, has quietly built a reputation for producing some of the most reliable trail-focused footwear on the market. With a history of under-the-radar releases that have delighted the cognoscenti, Salomon is poised for a higher profile, thanks partly to an upcoming collaboration with Kith on the XT-4. However, before the spotlight intensifies, there's a chance to explore some of Salomon’s sleeper hits, like the newly released Salomon XT-4 "Portabella."
This particular iteration of the XT-4 boasts a Rose Taupe to Liberty Purple gradient mesh upper, providing breathability and a visual gradient that catches the eye. The design is complemented by beige accents at the toe and tongue while striking white glazed cage overlays add a contrast that resembles a photo-negative finish.
The robust build of the XT-4, known for its full-length Agile Chassis System, offers unparalleled cushioning and support, making it ideal for even the most demanding trails. The durable mesh upper is reinforced with a welded TPU film, enhancing its resistance to wear and tear.
Underfoot, the combination of beige and rose on the tread provides excellent grip, while the signature red and blue ribbon on the tongue adds a distinctive Salomon touch. This model continues the XT-4's performance legacy and introduces a stylish palette that complements its technical prowess.
The Salomon XT-4 "Portabella" is available now for purchase at Salomon.com and select retailers like Up There.
