Release Date: December 18
Where to Buy: Salomon, Carhartt WIP

The highly successful partnership between Carhartt WIP and Salomon is back for Fall/Winter 2025, delivering a utility-driven collaboration on the rugged X-ALP silhouette. This release is a masterclass in fusing authentic workwear durability with high-performance mountaineering technology, solidifying both brands’ prominence in the “gorpcore” aesthetic.

The Carhartt WIP x Salomon X-ALP is designed to thrive on both the trail and the city tarmac. The shoe features a striking, nearly monochromatic jet black upper, constructed from a complex mixed-media blend of durable leather, synthetic overlays, and a protective rubber mudguard. This stealthy exterior is disrupted only by subtle patches of earthy duck camo across the collar and tongue, directly channeling Carhartt WIP’s military and workwear heritage.

Performance is guaranteed by Salomon’s core technologies, making the X-ALP fully capable for rugged conditions. Collaborative branding is discreetly etched on the pull tabs and printed on the insoles. This shoe is a compelling statement on functional minimalism, delivering a truly unique and hard-wearing option for the cooler months. The highly anticipated release is scheduled for December 18, 2025, with a retail price of $200 USD.
