Maison Margiela and Salomon have become a fixed duo within the sneaker world. What once began as an unexpected collaboration between high-end fashion and technical sports shoes has grown into one of the most talked-about collabs of recent years.
On October 16, they are dropping something special again: two new colorways of the Salomon XT-4 OG. A Maison Margiela MM6 x Salomon XT ‘Black’ and a Maison Margiela MM6 x Salomon XT ‘Cherry Tomato’. Two variants that sound simple on paper but in reality perfectly show why this collaboration works so well.
Maison Margiela stands for refined chaos, Salomon for functional precision, together they create sneakers that are both wearable and distinctive.
From mountain trail to city street
The XT-4 OG was originally developed for trail runners. It was a shoe focused mainly on grip, stability, and cushioning. But through Margiela’s influence, the model got a new life on the street.
The shoe looks sleek, sporty, and modern, but retains its technical character. The layers, the shapes, the cushioning, everything still fits from a performance perspective, only now with a look that fits just as well with a cropped puffer or a relaxed fit cargo.
The strength of this collaboration lies precisely there: they make fashion wearable. Not exaggerated or “too trendy,” but rather authentic and functional.
Two colorways, two characters
The Maison Margiela MM6 x Salomon XT ‘Black’ version is minimalist but anything but boring. The subtle silver details give the shoe a clean look, ideal for anyone who loves calm combinations and monochrome fits. It is the perfect daily sneaker, one that matches with everything.

The Maison Margiela MM6 x Salomon XT ‘Cherry Tomato’ variant, on the other hand, is more expressive. The red accents give the model energy and character. This version is made for those who don’t just want to wear their sneakers but also want to show them off. The color contrast ensures the shoe immediately stands out without being loud.

Both models feature the well-known ACS construction (Advanced Chassis System) that provides stability and support, along with the EnergyCell+ midsole that cushions every step. Whether you’re on the move all day or just walking through the city, they feel light, comfortable, and sturdy.
Why this collaboration keeps working
Every year dozens of collabs appear, but few really stick. Maison Margiela and Salomon are an exception.
Their strength? They don’t overdo it. No hype for the sake of hype, but a collaboration focused on quality and identity.
Salomon brings the technology, Margiela brings the vision. The shoes look fashionable but remain true to their roots. And that is exactly why sneaker fans from street to catwalk keep coming back again and again.
The drop on October 16 proves once again that this is no accidental hit. The models have a timeless appearance and add something new to the street scene.
How to style them best
The Maison Margiela MM6 x Salomon XT is a shoe you don’t need to hide under a pant leg. It deserves the spotlight.
The ‘Black’ is easy to combine: wear it with black trousers, an oversized bomber, or cargo pants in anthracite or olive. The neutral tones enhance the metallic detail without it looking too harsh.
The ‘Cherry Tomato’ is perfect as an accent. Pair it with light gray or beige pants, a white tee, or a black hoodie to really let the color speak. The contrast makes the shoe even stronger.
And the nice thing is: both colorways have that typical Salomon shape, which also matches well with baggy fits and street silhouettes.
