Salomon Revives a Y2K Classic, the "XT Whisper"
info@hypebae.com (Hypebae) Tue, 10 Dec 2024 HypebaeThis year, Salomon tapped into its archives, reviving cherished designs like the winter-ready "Snowclog." Now, the brand delves even deeper into its Y2K-era to reintroduce another gem -- the "XT-Whisper."
Originally crafted to empower women on the trail racing circuit, the "XT-Whisper" returns as a modern reinterpretation of its celebrated lineage. This reimagined model inherits the unmistakable DNA of Salomon's "XT" series, blending design with a nod to its heritage. The updated version features intricate textures and layered accents, finished with materials that elevate its visual appeal. Modern touches shine through a textured upper, while the distinctive Sensifit™ application adds both a gorp-style and a secure fit.
Of course, the original "Quicklace" technology remains a core feature to ensure a fitted, snug and reliable hold from heel to toe -- offering the same confidence-inspiring performance trail runners have relied on for years.
The "XT-Whisper" debuts in a single, exclusive colorway -- "Treetop/Wren/Sulphur Spring." This earthy palette brings together neon and calm greens, bright yellows, maroon browns and soft beige whites to display a harmonious connection to nature.
The "XT Whisper" is available to purchase at Salomon.com. Click the gallery to see more of the shoe.
