END, a leading men's clothing retailer, has teamed up with French footwear label Salomon to launch a special collaborative edition of the XT-Wings 2. According to the brands, the new shoe draws inspiration from the Marathon de Sables, a six-day ultramarathon race that happens once a year in the Sahara desert.
As a result, the shoe boasts a slick and sandy color scheme featuring brown and tan tones. In addition, it comes equipped with all of Salomons' signature functional design elements including an ACS chassis, EVA midsole cushioning, and a Contragrip outsole. Fans of the brand will be happy to see that the new model also arrives with Salomon's classic lacing system that utilizes toggle technology to allow users to quickly tighten and loosen their shoes.
