Salomon Reimagines Its Gorpy Sneaker Through Rose-Tinted Lenses
Categorically, pink is not really an outdoorsy color. But Salomon, the king of footwear shakeups, has never followed outdated conventions.
If Salomon says pink shoes belong on the trail, then by golly, pink belongs on the trail. Salomon's "Icy Pink" XT-6 GORE-TEX sneaker is a ballerina-toned shoe that's bringing some elegant proclivity to the trails, which were overdue for a bit of glam IMO.
The pale pink upper is accented with Salomon's classic black paneling, branding and bungee lace setup.
And despite what its baby pink hue might suggest, Salomon's XT-6 sneaker is as sturdy as they come, thanks to its waterproof GORE-TEX protection, which readies the sneaker for any number of arduous trails or daunting treks. Or for a pre-Pilates stroll. No judgment here.
When it comes to pretty and pink stunners, Salomon is far from a novice. The trail-happy brand sees everything through rose-tinted glasses, and in this case, the results are undoubtedly chic, not naive.
In the past, Salomon has lent pink paint jobs to some of its sturdiest sneakers, including gems like Sandy Liang's XT-Whisper, the RX Marie-Jeanne Sneaker, and MM6's Drawstring Salomon Cross Low.
With so many strawberry milk sneaker variations circling through the Salomon ether, it's not too much of a stretch to say pink trail shoes could become the new gold standard.
Pink athleisure is peak athleisure.
