Brace the Elements in the Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX 'Oxford Tan'

Salomon continues to produce high-performing equipment for sport, but it's found a groove within the world of lifestyle product with designs like the XT-6 GORE-TEX.

While not as in-trend as it was a few years ago, the water-resistant trail-informed model keeps popping up in refreshing inline and collaborative takes that distance it from its running origins. Efforts with atmos and JJJJound, for example, have helped Salomon firmly position its Sportstyle business in the fashion-focused sneaker space.

With spring inching closer, new ensembles have landed on the GORE-TEX-backed design from 2012. An 'Oxford Tan/Almost Milk/Safari' makeover leads the charge, bringing a clean, light brown update to the technical silhouette. The speed lacing system and branding on the tongue deviate from the sand-reminiscent color scheme, but don't detract from the spring-ready offering.
