Futuristic vibe and technical precision - Salomon XT-Whisper
The Salomon XT-Whisper represents the pinnacle of the current gorpcore trend, combining the technical functionality of trail shoes with bold urban design. This model was designed for visionaries and discerning users looking for a unique silhouette and uncompromising performance. The XT-Whisper isn't just an aesthetic statement; it's a shoe that carries decades of innovation from the French Alps, transformed into a form that fits perfectly within the context of modern streetwear and techwear.
To know exactly what you're getting into, it's important to understand the systems that make the XT-Whisper the top of its category. The foundation is the Advanced Chassis™ System, a stabilizing frame in the midsole that protects the foot and optimizes movement on any surface. Unparalleled traction is provided by the Mud Contagrip® outsole with a special rubber compound that holds you up on wet and slippery urban surfaces. The legendary Quicklace™ system allows for lightning-fast and even tightening of the shoe in a single motion, while the EnergyCell™ cushioning made of high-functioning EVA foam absorbs shock and saves your joints during all-day wear.
Who is this model for?
The Salomon XT-Whisper is made for those who value technical precision and want to stand out from the crowd. If you're looking for a shoe that can handle the rigors of the weather, provide the stability of a professional hiking boot, and look like it's from the future, this model is your obvious choice. It's an investment in sustainable quality and design that defines a new era of urban functionality.
Materials
Technology
Quick lacing system: (Quick Lace System) An alternative to conventional laces, based on the principle of a sliding slider (brake). This system uses high-strength, thin Kevlar or nylon cables that pass through eyelets with reduced friction. The main benefit is the ability to evenly pull down the entire upper of the shoe in one smooth motion, ensuring precise and secure foot fixation. The mechanism eliminates the risk of the laces coming undone during activity and allows the operational adjustment of the tightness of the shoe even when wearing gloves or in difficult terrain conditions.
Upper
Textile: The textile upper of the sneakers is lightweight, breathable and comfortable, ideal for everyday wear and sports. It ensures air circulation, keeps feet fresh and adapts to their shape. Often complemented with synthetic or rubber details for durability and support.
Syntetika: The synthetic upper is made of synthetic materials that are lightweight, durable and easy to clean. It provides good protection against moisture and at the same time allows for a comfortable wearing experience.
Footbed
OrthoLite®: It is the world standard in shoe insoles, combining a specific polyurethane foam with open-cell technology. Unlike conventional insoles, OrthoLite® does not collapse over time - it retains more than 95% of its original cushioning and shape. Its breathability allows air to circulate directly around the foot, effectively wicking away moisture and keeping the shoe cooler. Plus, it contains an antimicrobial treatment that fights bacteria and odor. It's a lightweight, eco-friendly (contains recycled rubber) and highly comfortable layer that you'll find in quality running, outdoor and urban footwear.
Sole
Contagrip®: Highly sophisticated sole technology developed by Salomon that integrates insights from biomechanics and materials engineering. This outsole is not made up of a single compound, but a combination of several types of rubber of different densities that are strategically placed throughout the sole. As a result, Contagrip® provides an optimal balance between grip and mechanical resistance. Each variant of this sole is specifically tuned for a particular discipline - from road running to technical trail running to alpine hiking.
