CARHARTT WIP X SALOMON

Carhartt WIP and Salomon present a new chapter in their partnership with a contemporary reinterpretation of the X-ALP shoe.
Originally designed for mountaineering, the model is reworked here for a more versatile use, moving naturally between technical terrain and urban environments.
This second collaboration follows a coherent direction, preserving Salomon’s performance driven DNA while integrating Carhartt WIP’s workwear culture.

The X-ALP retains its essential technical features, including a construction focused on stability, a sole designed for demanding surfaces and a build oriented toward durability.
Carhartt WIP’s contribution appears through the choice of materials, textures and tones, with a sober and functional palette inspired by utilitarian clothing.
The design remains clear and efficient, avoiding unnecessary decorative effects.

With this new interpretation, the X-ALP stands out as a hybrid object capable of transitioning from outdoor practice to everyday use without losing credibility.
The shoe embodies an approach to style guided by function, where performance becomes an aesthetic value in itself.
Carhartt WIP and Salomon offer a realistic vision of contemporary footwear, grounded in use, resilience and a modern understanding of movement.
