Gorpcore icon, Salomon, has unveiled their Satin Capsule, a limited-edition collection that transforms three of the brand’s most iconic silhouettes — the Speedcross 3, ACS+ and XT-Pathway 2 — into feminine, fashion-forward statements.
Inspired by ballet and romantic detailing, the capsule softens Salomon’s rugged trail heritage with satin mesh overlays, frilled accents and tonal bows in hues like Mahogany Rose, Hazelnut, Russet and deep Black.
Despite its delicate appearance, each shoe retains the brand’s technical underpinnings, including durable traction and supportive structures, making the collection as functional as it is expressive. By merging utilitarian performance with a softer, style-driven aesthetic, the Satin Capsule signals Salomon’s growing presence in the fashion world, appealing to both outdoor enthusiasts and design-conscious consumers seeking something fresh and versatile.
Beyond its striking looks, the Satin Capsule represents a broader shift for Salomon as it continues to blur the line between technical gear and high-fashion streetwear. The collection taps into current trends like balletcore and gorpcore, giving classic trail shoes a romantic edge without compromising their performance credibility. It’s also a clear signal of the brand’s intent to reach new audiences, expanding from the hiking trails and ultra-marathons to city streets and curated wardrobes.
By embracing unexpected materials and playful design language, Salomon positions itself at the forefront of outdoor-meets-lifestyle innovation — creating footwear that feels just as at home in a gallery opening or a runway show as it does on rugged terrain. Shop the collection now on the Salomon webstore.
