The Salomon XT-4 OG "Topography Pack" is a vivid exploration of contrasts and colors, now available for the adventurous at heart. This pack features two distinct options, each with its unique take on the theme of topography.
The first option in the pack is a white-based release that subtly incorporates a mint green topography print across its upper. This design choice imparts a delicate and almost ethereal quality to the shoe, making it a visually captivating choice. Contrasting with the understated upper, the shoe boldly features black tongues, heel wraps, and branding. These darker elements provide a striking visual balance, ensuring that the shoe stands out. The design is further enhanced by streaks of orange-red across the midsole, adding a fiery accent to the overall aesthetic.
In contrast, the alternate option in black opts for a bolder approach with a red topography print. This choice imbues the shoe with a more dramatic and intense feel. However, unlike its white counterpart, the black version takes a more tonal approach in its accentuations. It features muted fawn and grey hues that blend seamlessly with the black base, creating a sophisticated and understated look. The shoe is not without its pop of color, though – a sky blue EVA streak along the medial line adds an unexpected and refreshing touch.
Both pairs in the "Topography Pack" are completed with the XT-4's signature tri-color tongue ribbon, a nod to Salomon's attention to detail and commitment to quality. This design element not only adds a splash of color but also reinforces the shoe's identity within the Salomon range.
Currently available for purchase on Salomon.com for $220, the Salomon XT-4 OG "Topography Pack" offers both trail runners and outdoor adventurers a perfect blend of performance, durability, and style.
