XT-6: BEST IN CLASS

A design featuring style and function for everyday wear

THE EVOLUTION OF AN INSTANT CLASSIC

First introduced in 2013, the S/LAB XT-6 was a technical running shoe made in collaboration with trail athletes. Re-released in 2018 as part of the Sportstyle range, its striking silhouette and understated technology captivated a discerning fashion-forward audience, earning widespread acclaim and popularity.

GROUNDED IN AUTHENTICITY

Since its first release, the XT-6 has seamlessly blended iconic Salomon technologies with elegant design. Collaborating with legendary athletes and popular lifestyle brands like Palace, Kith, Atmos and many more, it has stayed true to its commitment to excellence on both fronts.

Featuring the innovative sensiFIT™ technology for a snug fit, a Mud contaGRIP® outsole for traction, a dual-density EVA midsole for support, and Salomon’s signature quickLACE™ system, the shoe's athletic heritage shines through. Additionally, premium details like the translucent finish on the agileCHASSIS™ System, iconic Salomon branding, and bold yet refined color combinations elevate the shoe to a new level of style.

BENJAMIN GRENET, ORIGINAL DESIGNER

Before designing the XT-6, Benjamin joined Salomon 20 years ago as an innovation designer, when he was inspired by the technical capabilities of Salomon’s S/LAB Nordic ski boots. Today, he is the Head of Footwear Design.


“During XT-6’s tenure as a performance shoe, there were only two colorways – one for soft ground, one for hard,” he says.

“When we proposed this shoe for the Sportstyle range, that unlocked a new world of possibilities.”
“It allowed us to take the same design and free it,” he continues. “You take a shoe you think you know and transform it, propose a new vision, magnify it and build it into something completely different.”

AN XT-6 FOR EVERY VOICE

Vibrant. Muted. Striking. Refined. With dozens of color options introduced annually and hundreds available throughout its history, there's an XT-6 color scheme tailored to echo your individuality - no matter how you choose to express it.
