MM6 Maison Margiela and Salomon are continuing their ongoing footwear collaboration with their latest drop for fall 2024.
According to MM6, the latest model the duo has tackled is the new MM6 Maison Margiela x Salomon XT-Mary J hybrid shoe. The collaborative silhouette is a spin on the classic Salomon XT-4 trail running shoe and melds a robust sole with a delicate upper construction.
This new silhouette, which launches in tandem with MM6 Maison Margiela’s autumn/winter 2024 collection, opens deep towards the toes and closes with a single, thin Velcro strap.
The all-gender shoe is offered in two colorways. First, a vivid version sports bold shocking pink and acid yellow highlights on a chunky light sole, its dégradé upper flushing from aqua green to terracotta orange with the Salomon logo flashing like sponsors on a race car.
On the opposite spectrum, an all-black version plays on MM6’s signature use of monochrome to sublimate delicate details and subtly reveal the shoe’s different layers using tonal variations of asphalt and soft clay.
This release follows the duo’s recent launch of the MM6 Maison Margiela x Salomon XT-4 Mule in June in three colorways.
MM6 Maison Margiela and Salomon began working together in 2023, and their most recent effort saw the X-Alp release in black and white-and-black. Last year, they also took on a trio of the ACS Pro, as well the waterproof shrouded Cross Mid.
The release also comes just weeks after Salomon opened its first-ever U.S. pop-up in NYC. The store, which highlights the company’s Sportstyle collection, joins the brand’s other locations in London, Barcelona, Seoul, Tokyo and beyond, including the Salomon flagship store on the Champs-Élysées and a Sportstyle concept store in Le Marais in Paris.
The new MM6 Maison Margiela x Salomon XT-Mary J, which retails for $395, will be available from Oct. 17 on both MM6 Maison Margiela and Salomon’s e-commerce site, selected MM6 and Salomon Stores, as well as in selected multi-brand stores.
