So, the collaboration between MM6 Maison Margiela and Salomon is still making headlines with the new spring/summer 2024 collection. After the success of previous collections such as the ACS Pro Advanced, the collaboration returns with new versions of the X-ALP model and XT-4 mules.
For this new collection, the X-ALP comes in two neutral colors: black and black/white. The construction of these sneakers combines style and functionality with suede inserts on the toe, a mesh base for good breathability, and leather and rubber reinforcements for durability. The Maison Margiela MM6 logo appears on the tongue and Salomon branding is visible on the collar. A sturdy rubber sole completes the design, ideal for the city as well as outdoor escapades ( Sole Retriever ) ( Maison Margiela ) .
The XT-4 mules, another highlight of this collection, transform the popular XT-4 model into a practical slip-on version. Available in three colors (tan, black and multi-color), they retain the robust essence of the original version with a durable outsole, good breathability, and the quick lacing system. The heel has been ingeniously removed, making this sneaker an ideal option for a casual yet technical look ( Maison Margiela ) ( Highsnobiety ) .
This new collection is expected to release in 2024 via Maison Margiela and select retailers, online and in-store. Although the price has not yet been announced, we can expect a premium range, Margiela obliges ( Sole Retriever ) .
