A special collaboration for END.’s 20th anniversary
END. and Salomon are teaming up once again, and the result of this collaboration is the XT-6 “Emerald” model. But this isn’t just another drop – it’s a celebration of END.’s 20th anniversary, the British streetwear giant. This time, the focus is on sneakers that combine the functionality of trail footwear with luxurious detailing inspired by precious gemstones.
XT-6 – an outdoor legend redefined
The Salomon XT-6 has been a game-changer since its release in 2013, conquering both mountain trails and urban streets. Its durability, lightweight construction, and excellent cushioning have made it a favorite among trail runners and streetwear enthusiasts alike. Now, END. has given it a fresh twist, incorporating elements inspired by platinum and emeralds.
A design that turns heads
What makes the XT-6 “Emerald” stand out is its unique colorway and intricate details. The platinum silver upper is made from abrasion-resistant mesh and TPU, ensuring both durability and breathability. Emerald green accents appear on the sole, tongue, and bar tack stitching, adding a premium touch to the sneakers.
It also features the signature quickLACE™ system, allowing for fast and easy adjustments. The final touch? A special insole printed with an emerald-inspired texture – a subtle yet striking detail that enhances the shoe’s exclusivity.
A photoshoot in a breathtaking location
END. and Salomon chose an extraordinary setting to showcase the XT-6 "Emerald." The campaign was shot at Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland – a site famous for its iconic basalt columns and lush green landscapes. It’s the perfect backdrop for sneakers that blend natural elements with urban aesthetics.
