BSTN and Salomon have joined forces for their first footwear collaboration, reworking the XT-6 through a “5 A.M.” concept inspired by the quiet transition between night and day.
Officially listed in a single “Black/Black/Almond Milk” colorway, the shoe reads visually as a dark navy-to-black mesh base layered with pale blue iridescent TPU overlays that shift in tone as they catch the light. The changing surface gives the otherwise technical upper an almost pearlescent quality, while white contrast stitching – including distinctive zigzag detailing across the tongue – sharpens the darker foundation. Underfoot, the mostly black tooling keeps the palette grounded, allowing the reflective upper treatment to carry the design, while a molded insole moves from cool blue into warm orange to mirror the first light of morning.
The silhouette retains the high-performance technical features the model is celebrated for. The upper is constructed from a breathable single-layer mesh reinforced with highly durable, abrasion-resistant TPU paneling, all secured by Salomon’s signature quickLACE system and endoFit construction for a precise, locked-down fit. Equipped with the agileCHASSIS system for premium stability and cushioning, grounded by a rugged Mud Contagrip outsole featuring deep, sharp-edged lugs built to handle versatile terrain. To commemorate the partnership, tasteful co-branding is found on the lateral heel, while a custom BSTN label bearing the shared “Common Ground” slogan rests neatly beneath the lacing system.
