Seoul-based designer JUNTAE KIM brings a fresh perspective to footwear with the unique customization of four Salomon silhouettes for Spring/Summer 2025.

Staying true to their brand philosophy of defying boundaries, JUNTAE KIM reinterprets traditional women’s wear elements into contemporary menswear for their “NEW ROMANTICS” collection. This theme extends to the Salomon collaboration, with each shoe embodying a fusion of Vivienne Westwood’s punk spirit and new-age romanticism.

The collaboration features four iconic Salomon models: XT-6, RX MOC, RX SLIDE, and SNOWCROSS. Each shoe receives the JUNTAE KIM treatment, boasting design elements like “wing-like” interpretations on the RX lines and an extended ankle on the SNOWCROSS. The XT-6 gets a fashion-forward makeover with deconstructed uppers featuring leather zippers and button details.

While the current availability of these shoes for purchase remains unconfirmed, they offer a glimpse into a potential future direction for Salomon, pushing boundaries and blurring the lines between functionality and high fashion. Stay tuned for further updates on a possible release!
