Salomon and Pas Normal Studios Launch the GRVL Concept “T.K.O. Moss Green”

The Salomon Pas Normal Studios GRVL Concept is a hybrid gravel-running shoe built for athletes who switch between road and loose terrain, and it anchors a new T.K.O. capsule that pairs the carbon-plated trainer with a co-branded RACE SKIN 2 hydration vest. Copenhagen cycling label Pas Normal Studios and French mountain-sport brand Salomon developed the collection around a single idea: movement that ignores the line between cycling and running.

Gravel riding has spilled into gravel running, and this collaboration leans directly into that crossover. The GRVL Concept borrows tooling logic from a gravel bike tyre, while the RACE SKIN 2 vest is tuned for the long, mixed-surface efforts that endurance athletes log far from a road. It is one of the more technical drops to land in the Salomon catalog this year, and it follows a run of fashion-leaning Salomon team-ups like the Ferxxo XT-4 OG with a performance-first brief instead.

The Salomon Pas Normal Studios GRVL Concept Design

The GRVL Concept runs light at 262 grams, with a 43mm forefoot and 37mm heel stack that works out to a 6mm drop. Underfoot sits a PEBA-based supercritical foam midsole stabilized by dual full-length carbon blades, the kind of propulsive setup usually reserved for marathon racers. The outsole is the tell: a tread pattern derived from a gravel bike tyre, with shallow 1.5mm lugs that stay smooth on tarmac yet bite into loose ground. A knit gaiter wraps the ankle to keep grit out, and Salomon’s quickLACE system handles the cinch.

Color is where Pas Normal Studios’ hand shows. The “T.K.O. Moss Green” palette reads as a dusty, sandy base lifted by yellow and blue accents, with silver-grey reflective branding. As PNS creative director Karl-Oskar Olsen framed it, the colors visualize “a dusty, sandy hybrid surface, contrasted by the yellow of the sun and the blue of the sky.” The RACE SKIN 2 vest carries the same story, with dual front flasks, a rear bladder compartment, and a body-hugging cut meant to kill bounce on faster running efforts.

Where to Buy the Salomon Pas Normal Studios GRVL Concept

The collection is available now. The Salomon Pas Normal Studios GRVL Concept retails for $300 and dropped on May 27, 2026, with the RACE SKIN 2 vest selling alongside it. Both pieces are stocked at pasnormalstudios.com, Salomon, and select retailers, though Pas Normal Studios is capping the shoe at one pair per customer.

Why Gravel Running Is the Story Here

Gravel cycling reshaped the bike world by erasing the rule that you had to choose road or trail. Pas Normal Studios is betting the same logic applies on foot, and the GRVL Concept is the proof of concept: a shoe fast enough for pavement but grippy enough for fire roads. The capsule reflects how cross-discipline endurance training has gone mainstream, and it is the sort of forward-looking release that keeps landing in our Sneaker News coverage. JustFreshKicks will keep tracking how far this gravel-running idea travels.
