SALOMON X MAISON MARGIELA
MM6 Maison Margiela and Salomon reveal the latest footwear drop from a new series in their ongoing collaboration; a celebration of a shared ethos offering unconventional perspectives on progressive and technically advanced designs.
Debuting as part of MM6 Maison Margiela’s AW collection, the XT-MARY J MM6 MAISON MARGIELA — an unabashedly kawaii spin on the classic Salomon XT-4 trail running shoe — melds the irreverent design perspective of the MM6 studio with Salomon’s technical expertise, contrasting the shoe’s robust sole with a delicate and intricate upper construction. Breaking with a purely performative function, this new silhouette opens deep towards the toes and closes with a single, thin Velcro strap, opening a window onto a new, transversal universe.

The All-Gender shoe is offered in two polar colorways. An all-black version plays on the House’s signature use of monochrome to sublimate delicate details and subtly reveal the shoe’s different layers using tonal variations of asphalt and soft clay.
On the opposite spectrum, a vivid version sports bold shocking pink and acid yellow highlights on a chunky light sole, its dégradé upper flushing from aqua green to terracotta orange with the Salomon logo flashing like sponsors on a race car.
