Originally released in 2009 as Salomon’s first women-specific trail running shoe, the XT-Whisper returns through a modern, unisex lens. Rooted in Salomon’s XT design lineage, the silhouette blends technical heritage with refined expression through layered textures, matte and glossy contrasts, and soft, iridescent tones that shift with the light. Sensifit construction paired with Quicklace delivers a secure, confidence-inspiring fit, while the stabilizing chassis and protective details remain true to the XT franchise’s performance-driven DNA.
Conceived as a tribute to individuality and the quiet tension where ideas take shape, the eponymous BSTN editorial captures the XT-Whisper in the stillness before creation. Set in a calm, intimate environment, artists Chadee and Tommy Khang Lieu are shown immersed in moments of listening, experimenting, and refining ideas, surrounded by speakers and music equipment. Between focused calm and building energy, the visuals echo the rhythm of the creative process itself.
The Salomon XT-Whisper pack – including Spellbound/ Silver, Lava Falls, and Persian Jewel colorways – releases at BSTN on Wednesday, February 4th. Pick up your favorite via the button below!
