Salomon’s outdoor footwear has exploded in popularity in recent years, with the trail-minded XT series fuelling the fire. This week, the XT-6 ADV returns in an exciting new “Mirage Effect” color scheme, courtesy of French label AVNIER.
Salomonb’s success with the XT-6 trail running sneaker has led to some interesting projects in recent years, most recently in the form of Fumito Ganryu’s ultra-lux version from earlier this year. Now, Salomon is turning to another partner of theirs, Parisian fashion label AVNIER for the second Salomon XT-6 in their ongoing Summer 2020 collection. Titled the “Mirage Effect”, this special-edition XT-6 takes inspiration from the Marathon des Sables, a grueling 160-mile footrace through the Sahara desert often referred to as the toughest race in the world. The colors are meant to evoke the vast emptiness of the desert, emphasized by subtle brown tones across the shoe, while hints of royal blue to represent mirage pools fives the “Mirage Effect” its name.
