Salomon Debuts New XT PU.RE ADVANCED Model

Salomon has emerged as one of the footwear industry’s hottest up-and-coming brands, helping define trending sneaker aesthetics through the continued success of its XT-6 model.

Now focused on Spring 2024, Salomon debuts the XT PU.RE ADVANCED, an upgraded take on the XT-6 that sees an array of utilitarian yet fashionable additions. Three colorways celebrate the model’s rollout; one black, one white, and one brown.

Eyes are first drawn to the new model’s external TPU cage, building on the XT-6’s wavy overlays in imposing fashion while adding structure and support. The base layer appears to be slightly thicker than that of the XT-6, enhanced by a leather toecap and forefoot detailing, while the sole unit takes on a whole new build. There, Salomon outfits the PU.RE ADVANCED with a bulkier midsole complete with a TPU mudguard, joined with the cage above for a cohesive look.

While the XT PU.RE ADVANCED has yet to make a true first impression, news of the model’s arrival poses speculation on if it could someday replace the XT-6 as Salomon’s most celebrated shoe. The upgrades referenced above only further align the XT series with today’s fashion trends, and the aesthetics that propelled Salomon’s rise are still very much on display.

The aforementioned black and brown pairs are available for $250 at salomon.com at the time of this writing, with the white colorway set to arrive in April. Enjoy detailed looks at all three shoes below and visit our Sneaker Release Dates page as we unpack future Salomon XT PU.RE ADVANCED offerings.
