Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX Black/Footwear Silver

Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX Black/Footwear Silver: Absolute Black in the Rain, Illuminated by Silver

The dense black waterproof mesh of the Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX PFC-free on which the reflective Footwear Silver panels play a dual role: discreet by day, they capture the light from headlights and streetlights at night with an intensity that opaque colors cannot produce — the smartest visual feature of the entire GORE-TEX range. The tri-color yellow/blue/red lacing on the tongue is the only splash of color across the black/silver palette, while the black AC2 Muscle2 midsole with silver pods extends the contrast to the ground. A pair that is discreet in broad daylight and stands out at night — precisely when visibility matters most.

GORE-TEX PFC-free + EnergyCell: Waterproof, Reflective, Technical

What distinguishes the Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX "Black Silver" from all other black models in the Salomon catalog is the unique combination of GORE-TEX waterproofing and silver reflectivity — two features that share the same territory: night, rain, degraded conditions where both are simultaneously important. The GORE-TEX PFC-free membrane ensures total waterproofing and breathability without the perfluorinated compounds of older generations. The EnergyCell midsole absorbs impact along its entire length with the responsiveness characteristic of Salomon trail constructions. The full-length ACS ensures stability and shock absorption on all surfaces. SensiFIT wraps the foot from the midsole to the QuickLace. The black Mud Contagrip outsole with deep lugs closes the pair with maximum traction on soft ground as well as wet asphalt — the best-equipped pair in the entire catalog for night runs in the rain.

Who is it for?

The Salomon XT-6 GORE-TEX "Black Silver" is for the sneaker enthusiast who wants the most nocturnal and functional XT-6 in the catalog — one whose silver reflective panels transform the silhouette depending on the light, and whose PFC-free GORE-TEX membrane guarantees waterproofing in all weather. It is aimed at wearers who want a fully assertive black pair, visible at night thanks to its reflective elements, and waterproof without compromising the urban trail aesthetic that has made the XT-6 famous.
