Salomon Presents the XT-4K and XT-Voyager with KITH

— December 27, 2024 — Fashion
KITH launches a new Salomon collaboration in the form of the XT-4K and XT-Voyager models for the festive season. It has been released for 'Kithmas 2024' and the two technical models are rooted in trail history. The XT-4k essentially takes elements from the iconic XT-4 model, which is a retro trail running shoe that is detailed with new colorway palettes and plenty of branding details that nod to KITH.

Following this silhouette is the XT-Voyager model, which is a distinct model that is designed with inspiration from the Adventure 7 sneaker model that was first launched in 1994. Both of these models are rugged and grippy to meet the standards of a trail shoe. Both of these have a clean white base and are detailed with accents of primary hues.
