The last few years have made us all look at technically-produced hiking gear a bit differently. Suddenly wearing a waterproof Arc’teryx jacket isn’t only done by outdoorsy folk, but also by fashion-conscious TikTok users who show off the waterproof technology while standing in the shower.
The influence this has had on footwear has been that hiking and trail-running shoes are generating hype like Jordans always have, and Salomon is at the forefront of it all.
The French sportswear label has been in business since 1947, creating gear for mountain trails and alpine sports. It has always had a cult following for its super grippy and durable footwear amongst those with a love for the great outdoors — and now we’re playing catch-up.
Salomon is making the most of the trail-running sneaker demand, coming through with a consistent collection of functional kicks in bold aesthetics. The beauty of its sneakers is that there are colorways and silhouettes for pretty much every style.
