Here is one of the great plot twists in sneakers. Salomon is a French mountain-sports company that has made serious trail-running and skiing gear since 1947. Around 2020, fashion discovered its technical trail shoes, and the humble XT-6 became one of the most wanted sneakers on the planet. That gorpcore wave, outdoor gear worn in the city, is now firmly in India, and Salomon is riding it hard.
The appeal is real: these are genuine performance shoes, built with grippy soles and that signature quick-lace system, that happen to look futuristic and go with everything. Here are the pairs to know.
1. Salomon XT-6 White / Lunar Rock

The icon, in the cleanest colour. The XT-6 in White / Lunar Rock at Rs 19,888 is the shoe that started the whole Salomon-as-fashion movement. Sleek, technical, and weirdly goes with tailoring and cargos alike. If you buy one Salomon, buy the XT-6, and white is the most versatile.
2. Salomon XT-6 Black / Phantom

The XT-6 in Black / Phantom at Rs 26,848 is the stealth version, all-black and murdered-out. It is the pair that disappears into an all-black fit and reads sharper in the city. The everyday workhorse of the range.
3. Salomon XT-Whisper Void Black

The XT-Whisper in Void Black at Rs 16,918 is the slightly slimmer, more streamlined cousin of the XT-6. If the XT-6 feels too aggressive for you, the Whisper is the more wearable, understated entry into the Salomon look.
4. Salomon XT-Whisper Black Asphalt

The XT-Whisper in Black Asphalt at Rs 16,199 adds a bit more tonal depth to the Whisper silhouette. Same easy-wearing shape, a touch more texture. A solid alternative if the void-black is sold out in your size.
5. Salomon ACS Pro

For the head-turner, the ACS Pro in Black Coffee / Oxford Tan at Rs 29,249 is the most fashion-forward, sculptural shoe Salomon makes, and the priciest pick here. If you already own an XT-6 and want the next-level flex, this is it.
6. Salomon Speedcross 3

Want the aggressive, deep-lug trail look? The Speedcross 3 at Rs 16,648 has the chunky, spiked-out sole that reads pure gorpcore. It is the most rugged, outdoorsy option and a favourite for the technical-fashion crowd.
Sizing and buying real
Salomons fit snug and slightly narrow, in line with their trail-running roots. Most people find them true to size or, if you have wide feet, worth going half a size up. The quick-lace system is easy to cinch, so a slightly roomier fit still locks in.
As the hype grows, so do the fakes, and the sole grip pattern and the lace-lock hardware are the giveaways. Buy authenticated. See more in our most popular sneakers guide and the sneakers section.
