The Salomon x Aries XT-Whisper blends outdoor performance with London’s irreverent streetwear energy, resulting in an experimental silhouette with strong visual impact.

Aries: controlled chaos and culture in motion

Founded by Sofia Prantera, co-founder of Silas, Aries was born as an experiment between conceptual luxury and urban wear, referencing graffiti, skate culture, art, and the creative chaos of London’s streets. Its designs are at once punk and refined, technical and emotional, masculine and feminine.

Over the years, Aries has collaborated with New Balance, Tommy Hilfiger, Umbro, OTW by Vans, and Havana Club, as well as artists and musicians on experimental projects. Its vision rejects perfection in favor of authenticity—garments and sneakers that reflect culture, community, and contradiction, embracing imperfection and excess.

Salomon: alpine precision, urban culture

Founded in Annecy, France, in 1947, Salomon began as a family workshop specializing in ski bindings before becoming synonymous with outdoor innovation. Its philosophy merges alpine engineering, ergonomic design, and uncompromising functionality. Models like the XT-6, XT-4, and ACS Pro have redefined the concept of technical footwear, transcending sports to conquer urban fashion and contemporary luxury.

The brand has led some of the most influential collaborations in recent years—from Maison Margiela, MM6, and wander, and Slam Jam to Comme des Garçons and PALACE—bringing its mountain DNA to new aesthetic territories. Each collaboration results in the same outcome: functional innovation turned into a cult object.

Salomon x Aries XT-Whisper (L49129700, L49218700)

The Salomon x Aries collaboration is built on the XT-Whisper silhouette—a hybrid between trail runner and urban transition shoe. Designed to move seamlessly from city streets to rough terrain, it preserves Salomon’s technical spirit while filtering it through Aries’ bold visual identity.

Available in two versions—Brown and Red—the model features a lightweight mesh upper, TPU reinforcements, and Salomon x Aries co-branding on the tongue and side panels.
