Bone Soda and Salomon Drop Their XT-6 Expanse

News of this release was first published November 8, 2023.

Update November 16, 2023: Having teased the initial images of the pair just last week, Bone Soda have now revealed the campaign imagery and release date for their Salomon XT-6 Expanse collaboration. The sneaker will be available to shop from today over on Salomon's site, so hit the link below to get your hands on them.

It’s no secret that sportstyle is the fastest-growing category in footwear right now, but it’d be hard to imagine it having the same success if it weren’t for the Salomon XT-6. Easily one of the defining models of the past few years, the XT-6 has become a canvas for collaboration, and now London-based creative hub Bone Soda is the next contributor to make their mark on the model.

After turning their hand to the Salomon RX Slide 3.0 earlier this year, Bone Soda will now combat the wet London winter with their rendition of the super-practical XT-6 Expanse, albeit in a less-than-practical pastel colourway. The saving grace here is that the pair is predominantly made from leather, instead of the usual mesh and leather mix.

Choosing to dress the XT-6 Expanse’s upper in a lilac hue, Salomon and Bone Soda continue to build on details from the previous colab, as a spider web design stretches across the top of the shoes. This comes married to cream-coloured mudguards and cages, while stealthy black sole units house Salomon’s signature tech. Finally, the pair is finished off with co-branded tongues, regular laces and a pull tab at the heel.

In other news, Cecilie Bahnsen and ASICS are returning to the GT-2160.
