The return to the future of the Salomon XT-Whisper by Aries Arise The brand explores the aesthetics of 80s and 90s running
The new Salomon XT-Whisper x Aries dives headfirst into the past for a techno-nostalgic twist. The collaboration walks a fine line between heritage and experimentation: Aries reshuffles the deck by combining vintage-looking leather and suede with technical materials, color gradients, and metallic foil details that breathe new life into an iconic trail shoe—familiar yet anything but predictable.
The silhouette remains faithful to Salomon’s DNA and its legendary XT line, but here an aesthetic provocation rich in elements takes the stage. The upper plays with bold contrasts, while the Sensifit™ system, reinterpreted with a wavy application, works together with Quicklace to ensure maximum stability and comfort with every step. Everything rests on a reinforced frame that preserves the XT heritage—rugged, without losing an ounce of style.
Framing the debut is a campaign shot by Rollo Jackson, cult documentarian of the underground scene and one of the most authentic visual voices in contemporary culture. His eye captures the meeting of fashion and sport in a suspended landscape: moonlit woods, shimmering water, protagonists moving between elegance and instinct. It is a sensory tale, a flow of style and energy that runs in perfect harmony.
