The Broken Arm and Salomon Have Created the Ultimate Mountain Shoe
Inspired by the cultural wealth of the Alps.
The Broken Arm has continued its ongoing collaborative partnership with Salomon with the introduction of the X-DESALPES, the ultimate mountain shoe.
The pair — who first linked up back in 2015 — have used this new silhouette to celebrate the cultural wealth of mountains, and the Alps in particular, as well as the traditional mountain-dweller party, the Désalpe, and the return of herds who have been grazing all summer long in high altitude pastures.
The sneaker’s colorway is based on that of a previous model X-Alps Leather GTX Gortex, with metallic grommets taking notes from the flowers found in fir wreaths worn by cows, while an embroidered edelweiss flower houses the sneaker’s tongue.
The X-DESALPES is the perfect concoction of Salomon’s penchant for tackling uneven terrain, combined with the added protection and durability that comes with all-over GORE-TEX coated leather.
The Broken Arm x Salomon X-DESALPES is available to buy now from the former’s online webstore.
