Carhartt WIP and Salomon continue their partnership with a second collaboration.

Building on the values that defined their first release, the focus once again lies on functionality, durability and uncompromising performance.

‍

‍

Known for its contemporary reinterpretation of hardwearing workwear, Carhartt WIP applies its signature aesthetic to a distinctive Salomon silhouette, resulting in a robust, detail-driven design.

The X-ALP Carhartt WIP is built to meet a wide range of demands.

Drawing on years of shared design expertise, the model combines robust, grained leather with suede overlays, accented by Carhartt WIP’s signature camouflage.

The accompanying campaign, directed by Bailey Marklew, is set at a remote research site shaped by electromagnetic anomalies and distorted gravitational forces.

‍

As a research team attempts to uncover the origin of these phenomena, an ominous presence begins to emerge – a creature existing beyond human perception.

All that is visible are writhing, thread-like tendrils reaching into the void, as if searching for something once thought lost, yet still present.

‍

‍

From a technical standpoint, the X-ALP Carhartt WIP remains firmly rooted in Salomon’s performance DNA.

Reinforced toe protection, ripstop materials, a Sensifit fit and a Contagrip outsole deliver stability, protection and comfort, both for everyday wear and in demanding terrain.

‍

‍

‍

The collaboration reflects a shared mindset in which craftsmanship, authenticity and functionality converge in a contemporary, clear design language, without compromising performance.

The Salomon X-ALP Carhartt WIP will be released on December 18 and will be available at the following retailers: AFEW, Asphaltgold, BSTN, HHV and SUPPA.
