Salomon S/LAB XT-6 ADV Triple Black

Salomon S/LAB XT-6 ADV Triple Black: The Origin of Obsession

Before gorpcore, before collaborations, there was the "Black Pack" — and the S/LAB XT-6 ADV "Triple Black", released on April 27, 2020, is its direct continuation: the same total black, chromatically uncompromising, but elevated to Salomon's highest performance line, the one that outfits athletes on the planet's most demanding ultra-trails. The dense black mesh and Phantom TPU film — slightly duller, warmer — create a quasi-monochrome whose richness is only visible in the difference in texture between the two surfaces: mesh versus TPU, flexible versus rigid, same black, distinct tones. The embossed "LAB" toe cap is the only graphic signature on the entire black surface — discreet, factual, reserved for those who know what it means. The tricolored yellow/blue/red "Salomon Racing Product" tongue branding is the only splash of color on the entire pair — a nod to the trail origins of a silhouette that the city has embraced without ever erasing, and that S/LAB claims with the sobriety of those who have nothing to prove.

EnergyCell+ + Mud Contagrip: The S/LAB for the City and Beyond

What distinguishes the S/LAB XT-6 ADV "Triple Black" from the standard XT-6 is the S/LAB version of each technical component. The EnergyCell+ midsole — S/LAB line's high-performance EVA foam — offers more responsive cushioning and superior durability than standard EnergyCell. The full-length Agile Chassis System (ACS) ensures stability and shock absorption with S/LAB's specific downhill geometry. The sensiFIT wraps the foot from the midsole to the lacing system for a precise fit. The black Mud Contagrip outsole with deep lugs provides maximum traction on soft terrain — the same outsole that won ultras before hitting the pavement of big cities. The entire construction meets S/LAB requirements: each component is the highest-performing version of what Salomon can do.

Who Is It For?

The Salomon S/LAB XT-6 ADV "Triple Black" is for the sneaker enthusiast who wants the most historic and radical version of the XT-6 — the one that started the entire lifestyle obsession with the silhouette, the one that never sought to please but ultimately imposed itself through the sheer force of its chromatic silence. It's for enthusiasts who want to own the original DNA of the black XT-6, collectors looking for the most iconic S/LAB version, and anyone who wants total black, without nuance, without compromise — the easiest pair to wear with any dark outfit.
