Following the success of their first collaboration, Sandy Liang and Salomon are back with a second project that merges performance and style. The Sandy Liang x Salomon XT-Whisper, released globally on January 23, 2025, brings a feminine touch to the trail-inspired silhouette, making it the perfect pick for Valentine's Day.
The XT-Whisper showcases a soft pastel pink mesh upper complemented by metallic silver overlays, pristine white midsoles, and rich red rubber tread. While the colorway exudes a delicate, romantic vibe, the shoe is built with the same rugged performance features that define Salomon’s technical footwear.
Designed for all-weather adventures, the XT-Whisper incorporates GORE-TEX waterproofing and PFC-free materials, ensuring durability and eco-consciousness. Anti-debris and single-layer mesh construction provide a lightweight, breathable fit, while the Mud Contagrip® outsole with Chevron lugs offers superior traction on challenging terrains. A protective mudguard adds an extra layer of durability, making the pair ready for both city strolls and outdoor escapades.
This sophomore collaboration follows the pair's debut project in 2024, which featured the XT-6 Expanse and RX Moc 3, marking Salomon's first female-led collaboration. The XT-6 Expanse offered a blend of pastels and bold tones with a functional, trail-ready design, while the RX Moc 3 provided a versatile slip-on option for casual and activewear.
Keep an eye out for its January 23rd release on Salomon.com and select global retailers.
