Salomon XT QUEST 2 x L’Art de L’Automobile “Olive” Design
The pair is pitched as “Mechanic Walking Shoes” and runs a single olive and black scheme. The upper uses olive nubuck with textured panels, a nod to the XT QUEST 2’s hiking roots. An oversized black toe cap wraps the forefoot for a tougher, workwear look. The main body of the tongue replaces mesh with canvas. Tonal stitching keeps things quiet, while polished silver hardware and multicolored rope laces add metallic shine and color. The automotive cues sit in the details. A circular car graphic depicting a Volkswagen Golf GTI Mk1 is embossed near the heel, white L’ART lettering runs across the tongue, and Salomon branding sits on the black forefoot guard. Underfoot, the stability focused bottom unit and deeply lugged outsole stay intact. Brown to olive marbling on the midsole gives it a weathered, oil stained look that fits the garage concept.
