The new collaboration between Salomon and the OAMC label explores the nostalgia of “vintage trail tech” to create a resolutely contemporary silhouette: a dialogue on nature, authenticity, and the place of technical apparel in the modern wardrobe.

Drawing from the “vintage trail tech” aesthetic, the two brands unveil the XT-Quest OAMC, a shoe that bridges the nostalgia of a bygone era with today’s renewed enthusiasm for the outdoors.

XT-Quest OAMC: Technical Heritage as a Stylistic Language

Discover the XT-Quest, a refined tribute to the history of rugged trail footwear.

• A Design Balancing Robustness and Sophistication
  The shoe stands out through its layered panels, chunky lacing details, and mix of materials, creating a deliberately raw aesthetic. This sense of nostalgia is counterbalanced by a modern construction and a reworked silhouette, perfectly suited for everyday wear.

• Technology as a Foundation, Not a Statement
  Performance is embedded rather than ostentatious. The 4D Advanced Chassis delivers stability, the All Terrain Contagrip® outsole ensures traction, and the SensiFit™ system provides precise support. These innovations guarantee comfort and confidence on a daily basis.

A Relevant Collaboration

The hybridisation of performance and lifestyle is no longer a trend but a reality. Outdoor wear has become a credible and desirable territory within the premium menswear wardrobe, meeting the expectations of consumers seeking distinctive, functional pieces that feel equally at home in the city and in nature.

This collaboration strengthens cultural relevance and builds an emotional connection with a forward-thinking audience. It is a powerful image lever that anchors Salomon in a long-term strategy based on credibility, desirability, and product durability.

Two Worlds, One Shared Vision

The convergence between OAMC’s avant-garde approach and Salomon’s technical expertise feels natural. Both brands share a commitment to innovation, high-quality materials, and constructions designed to last. Functionality becomes a space for creative expression.

This collaboration speaks to a consumer who mixes designer pieces with streetwear and outdoor-inspired garments. The XT-Quest OAMC thus becomes a linking piece between multiple stylistic registers. It is a proposition that resonates with its time, offering a modern reading of our relationship with nature and the city.

The collaboration between Salomon and OAMC is an intelligent, understated style statement. It demonstrates Salomon’s ability—represented by Clothette—to engage in meaningful dialogue with the most respected players in contemporary fashion.

This project delivers a highly desirable product and proves that a brand can successfully combine performance, heritage, and a sharp cultural vision.
