In the past few years, Salomon has risen in the footwear consciousness from an outdoorsy oddity to a genuine player in the market. While the trendiness of “gorpcore” aesthetics certainly didn’t hurt, don’t discount the brand’s own efforts in reaching their current status. Over that span, they’ve savvily joined up with names from Feid to atmos to Maison Margiela to help showcase the diverse creative applications possible with their silhouettes. The latest Aries x Salomon collab brings a rugged transformation to the newly-revived XT-Whisper silhouette, set to debut in short order.

To briefly recap, Aries grabbed the Salomon Snowclog for the duo’s inaugural collaboration, with founder Sofia Prantera noting that the silhouette was “softer and lighter” than what consumers had associated the sneaker brand with. In almost a total inversion, now the brand reaches for the XT-Whisper, an inline step by Salomon into airier territory, and hardens its construction.

You’ll spot that immediately with the TPU overhaul of the quarter panel, given 3D texture in contrast to its usual thin synthetic layout. It’s also a clever bit of branding for the Italian label, working their “A” monogram into the design. Towards the rear, another novel tie comes with the co-branded hit at the collar, pinning the Salomon brand name within broken Roman columns, another hallmark of the Aries ecosystem. Two colorway options have been revealed here, one embracing a romantic blend of pink and red that culminates in a rosy gradient within the sidewalls, and an all-black counterpart, breaking up its nocturnal profile with a flash of tan underneath the heel.

The Aries x Salomon XT-Whisper duo will be available globally on November 18th, 2025 via salomon.com & ariesarise.com. See official images of both colorways below if you’re set on copping.
