The Salomon XT-6 Expanse Takes its Next Steps in Leather

Easily one of the fastest-growing brands over the past couple of years, Salomon has the sportstyle sneaker category in a chokehold. Thanks to a clever collaborative strategy and some seriously strong colour palettes, the XT-6 in particular has become somewhat of an icon. Having rolled out in both mesh and GORE-TEX constructions, the XT-6 has now been given an eagerly anticipated overhaul in the form of the Salomon XT-6 Expanse LTR.

Swapping out its usual tech-laden uppers for some sleek new materials, the latest evolution in the silhouette’s lineage comes crafted from leather and suede. This offers a slightly warmer, smarter take on the techy trail runner while retaining its usual features underfoot. The brand’s classic Agile Chassis System provides the perfect mix of stability and cushioning, while an EnergyCell midsole offers optimum shock absorption. This works in tandem with a downhill chassis and a specially designed lug pattern, which both offer maximum stability no matter the terrain. Finally, the pairs are finished with SensiFit tech, which cradles the foot for a snug and essentially personalised fit.

The Salomon XT-6 Expanse LTR is currently available in two colourways: the undeniably clean ‘Vanilla Ice/Almond Milk/Transparent Yellow’ and the earth-toned ‘Bungee Cord/Wren/Almond Milk’. Both pairs are available to cop now from Salomon, so hit the link below to secure your size.
