Salomon's XT-QUEST 2 ADVANCED Arrives In Two Tonal Colorways

Following on from Salomon‘s The Broken Arm-exclusive XT-QUEST 2 ADVANCED that dropped at the beginning of this year, Salomon is back with two in-line seasonal colorways of the archival pair. 

Coming in “Black/Ebony/Frost Gray” or “Vanilla Ice/Rainy Day,” the pair combines the early 2000’s aesthetic with today’s technology and know-how to create a pair fit for both lifestyle purposes and challenging environments. It achieves this by incorporating traction and stability-enhancing technology in the sole unit to make it work efficiently on trails, while the upper features a toe cap for further heavy-duty support.

A mixture of mesh and nubuck hark back to Y2K hiking shoe styles, while rope lacing, quick-lacing eyelets, and an overall lightweight approach make the shoe better-equipped for today’s hiking needs. Adding to this is the Contragrip outsole and the articulated 4D Advanced Chassis that is built into the midsole — appearing in tonal carbon fiber finishes across both colorways. This piece adapts stability needs on various terrains, once again making the shoe perfect in all conditions.

Take a look at the Salomon XT-QUEST 2 ADVANCED in “Black/Ebony/Frost Gray” and “Vanilla Ice/Rainy Day” above, and purchase the pairs from Salomon’s website and select retailers such as The Broken Arm for €190 EUR (approx. $210 USD).
