Salomon and Ray BEAMS introduce their first fully customized footwear project with the XT-WHISPER “CHERRY CAKE PARTY,” transforming the trail-derived silhouette through a dessert-inspired palette exclusive to the collaboration. Offered in a single Ice Pink colorway, the sneaker starts with a soft light-pink mesh base before layering flowing synthetic panels in vivid cherry pink and deeper red tones across the upper. Black sections around the heel and collar provide a sharper counterpoint to the sweeter shades, while the sole unit is finished in a subdued matte black, grounding the otherwise playful combination. The contrast between translucent-looking mesh, glossy structural overlays and muted tooling gives the shoe a dimensional finish that shifts between technical trail styling and the candy-like colors behind its “Cherry Cake Party” theme.
The silhouette retains the performance-informed construction inherited from Salomon’s trail-running archive. SensiFit™ wraps the foot for a secure fit, while the Agile Chassis™ System provides stability underfoot and Quicklace™ allows the lacing to be adjusted in a single pull. Its narrow, sculpted lines and layered material construction preserve the model’s streamlined lifestyle profile, with the black technical sole creating a heavier visual foundation beneath the saturated pink upper.
