SALOMON TRAIL RUNNING RELAUNCHES CLASSIC MOUNTAIN, FOR DAILY USE. Our SALOMON TRAIL RUNNING section has already brought you the news of shoes like the Slab XT 6, Salomon XT Wings 2 , Salomon Speedcross 3 or Salomon XA Pro 3D.

All of them with an accused personality. and legions of fans. This 2021 thoese shoes are again released in the brand’s official store, butnow in the SNEAKERS section. Let’s go with the details. A few months ago we started to see the French brand as one more among the highlights in the magazines of “fashion footwear”. And why deny the fact? As happens to the mythical The North Face downs jackets, most of the models sold from some Salomon mountain shoes, lived longer at the bar or disco than in the mountains. And that doesn’t have to be bad either.

This 2021, Salomon has fully launched themselves to exploit this natural line. The French brand thus boasts of honoring traditional mountain running shoes in its latest campaign. Thus, we see eternal classics like the Speedcross 3, S/Lab XT-6, Slab XT Wings 2 and XA Pro 3D revive with color combinations and finishes. And they are not alone, with them come new creations, such as the Salomon Ultra Raild. Salomon Street Cross or Salomon XA Pro Street. Here is a panoramic view of the SNEAKERS section in Salomon online store.

SALOMON TRAIL RUNNING: FROM THE MOUNTAIN TO THE DAILY SNEAKER.

As the footwear industry advances, sales of trail shoes are estimated to have already exceeded 3 billion euros worldwide. However, the estimated growth for this sector over the next 5 years ranges from 5%-8% for most studies. Healthy numbers for many sectors, but very conservative compared to the explosive potential of growth when a brand suddenly turns a fad in itself.

Something that Salomon already experienced years ago with Speedcross or XA Pro, among other sagas. Salomon is undoubtedly testing the waters in this regard. The French sportswear company has already enjoyed an important year, with online sneakers and limited design editions that have received a lot of attention.

Without going any further, last February they launched this Salomon Ultra with the Japanese designer Fumito Ganryu. The result: SALOMON ULTRA FOR FUMITO GANRYU. For sale for 260€ 🙂

SALOMON TRAIL RUNNING: SNEAKERS 2021.

The point was why go so far looking for design cracks to create new things, when already having in the history of the house models of proven success for daily use? Said and done.

First presented in February as SNEAKERS, the images feature several fan-favorite Salomon models: Speedcross 3, S/Lab XT-6 and XT Pro 3D. We all recognize them!

They are some of the best-selling sneakers in the history of Salomon. All of them were born for mountain running. And now, they enjoy a second life as fashionable footwear. Without giving up anything, neither: As you can see below in each of today’s four protagonists, they all retain what made them famous. The combinations of colors, cushioning, durability and usefulness of the original designs. Although if there is any small change: They now feature smoothly updated materials that keep original structure and image intact, adding some new tones. And each maintains its sporting usability.

SALOMON SNEAKERS 2021: FOUR ETERNAL CLASSICS.

Even if they are no longer, perhaps, spearhead in performance, they will still have who bets on them for their mountain races. Here you have all four, from left to right and top to bottom in the images.

SALOMON XT-6, born to win 100 miles races, today remains a great companion for any long-distance race in difficult terrain conditions.
SALOMON XT WINGS 2: A nicer price for another great ultrarun in the mountains.
SPEEDCROSS 3 : Agile and lightweight, noy the sports saga goes down speedcross 5, but this third iteration looks alike those big tacos and wedge, to fly in mud or uphill.
SALOMO XA PRO: The last high-performance version is the Salomon XA Pro V8. Now, this original version continues to play movie to go to the mountain at a gentle pace and occasional jogging.
