Bodega is back after a rocky first half of the year. The legendary sneaker retailer returned over the Summer, and burst out of the gates with some new collaborative projects in tow. This week, they’ll release their Salomon XT-4 “The Glider”.
For those following Bodega’s rocky start to 2025, you may have noticed their absence in the world of sneaker collaborations. The retailer went dark for the first half of the year, citing fulfillment issues as their main reason. Their office staff was let go, the OG Boston location and websites shut down, but still founder Jay Gordon persisted. Now, Bodega has relaunched their online shopping experience, and managed to maintain their retail space in Los Angeles. This month, they reentered the fray of special releases with their PUMA Suede release.
Today, Bodega announced another collaborative release for this month, just on the heels of their PUMA project’s debut over the weekend. They have likely had these projects in the works for some time, and put a hold on both until their internal issues were sorted out. This week’s release marks their first outing with Salomon since 2022’s “Full Bleed” release, and this time, they’ve gone with the XT-4 as a canvas. The pair sports a mix of earthy tones across the upper, mixing a pale purple base with shades of brown for the overlays and tongues. Neon green accents and a blue midsole stripe complete the special look.
BODEGA X SALOMON XT-4 “THE GLIDER” RELEASE INFORMATION
The latest project from retailer Bodega is scheduled to release this weekend, on August 23rd, 2025. Teaming up with Salomon for their second project since resurfacing this Summer, “The Glider” edition of the XT-4 will likely be available exclusively through BDGA’s releases platform, though no raffle information has surfaced yet. Pricing is currently unknown, though we expect this pair to be in the XT-4’s standard $190 range.
