Salomon is a brand that’s gone from strength to strength over the past 12 months, namely because the once-niche Gorpcore trend has finally hit the mainstream. Once reserved for technical trails, it's now the brand of choice for fashion fans and streetwear aficionados alike, but that doesn’t mean it's lost its gritty, gorpy edge.

In fact, Salomon’s edgier styles are just getting started. Building on its XT series, the brand’s XT-Slate Advanced is a style that is suitable for exploring the great outdoors, whether you find yourself up a mountain, or pounding the pavements in the city.

With a design that reflects a rocky landscape, the XT-Slate takes on a lightweight build that provides plenty of breathability. The model also houses Salomon’s Advanced Chassis System underneath to ensure a stable ride. Adding to the rest of the techy feel, the XT-Slate comes equipped with rugged Contragrip outsoles to ensure hold on any surface, and a Quicklace system for the perfect secure fit.

Available in both “Vanilla Ice” and “Dark Sapphire” shades, the Salomon XT-Slate Advanced is currently available to buy at END. Hit the links to secure your size, and don't forget to check out the rest of the range over on the retailer's website.
