Palace & Salomon Are Back Running Tings
Fresh off a hearty McDonald's collab, Palace is back running the trails with Salomon's XT-Wings 2 sneaker.
Palace and Salomon quietly confirmed the team-up on August 27, sharing a collaborative teaser in their Instagram Stories comprising obscure looks at a dual-branded sneaker.
In the past, we've seen the two issue packs of XA-Comp, Speed Cross, and even the popular XT-6 sneaker. Now, Palace and Salomon have joined forces for an ultra-glossy take on the XT-Wings 2.
Previously explored by JJJJound and END., Salomon's XT-Wings 2 gets a little luxury-fied by Palace next, receiving a high-shine coat for the upper and marbled rubber for the outsole. Fancy.
The collaborative Salomon XT-Wings 2 shoe's colorful tongue strip now bares Palace's name, while metallic co-branding shines around the heel.
As teased, the Palace x Salomon XT-WINGS 2 arrives in two classic schemes, black and white, both scheduled to release on Palace's website on September 1 and select Salomon stores on September 9.
In tackling the iconic trail shoe, Palace and Salomon tapped ultra-running legend Courtney Dauwalter to lead the campaign set in the Alps.
Dauwalter will also be repping Salomon during the upcoming UTMB race on September 1 (again, the XT-Wings 2's release day).
Keep an eye out during the race, too. You may even catch Dauwalter spreading her Palace XT-Wings on the podium if she scores another record-breaking win.
