Salomon introduces the “ICON CAPSULE,” a two-silhouette pack that reimagines the brand’s trail heritage through a lens of contemporary style and performance. Comprising the XT-6 GORE-TEX and the XT-WHISPER, the collection presents each model in an exclusive, sophisticated colorway designed for the modern explorer.
The XT‑6 is reinforced with an ePE GORE‑TEX membrane, delivering PFC‑free waterproof protection while maintaining breathability. Its upper combines a high‑abrasion resistant mesh base with a streamlined, multi‑tonal SensiFit™ construction that extends from the midsole to the Quicklace™ system for a secure, customized fit. The “Silver Cloud” palette is offset by black panels and subtle “Pearl Blue” accents, creating a modern yet understated look. Underfoot, dual‑density EVA cushioning and the Agile Chassis System ensure stability and comfort, while a geometrically lugged rubber outsole provides reliable traction across varied terrain.
The XT-WHISPER offers a more streamlined silhouette, featuring an upper that layers breathable mesh with synthetic overlays to reinforce the quarters and create a distinctive, wavy SensiFit™ cage for midfoot support. A padded tongue integrates seamlessly with the Quicklace™ system for precise adjustments, while the “Lunar Rock” and “Silver Cloud” tones are punctuated by delicate “Pearl Blue” highlights. Underfoot, a sculpted midsole delivers responsive cushioning and stability, paired with an aggressive lugged outsole built for versatile grip.
Presale begins today via Salomon’s official Japan website, with the “ICON CAPSULE” set to launch in the brand’s directly managed stores starting January 15, 2026.
