GR10K deliberately uses innovative approaches that deviate from current fashion standards and interprets military and workwear concepts in new, reflected ways.
Together with Salomon, GR10K presents the SS25 Salomon 01 Vassal, whose name is derived from the terms Assault and Venture. This model is a new color variant of the previously presented Quest Low.
The shoe was redesigned after its original construction by cutting off the boot's shaft. The original concept was aimed at offering an interpretation of security and military boots, with the Quest Low now followed by a low-top model.
This conceptual cut transformed a boot designed for military use into a versatile shoe for any environment.
The shoe offers improved stability thanks to Salomon's 4D Advanced Chassis, which guides the foot even on rough terrain and reduces fatigue, providing greater comfort. In addition, the Contagrip sole with inverted chevron profile guarantees a strong grip on any surface.
The collaboration also includes a reinterpreted backpack, which was designed as a practical means of transport for the harsh landscapes and harsh natural conditions for which the shoe was designed.
Scottish chants were made by masses, resonating as a remedy for solitude. No battle is conducted alone, voices merge together into a symphony of resilience, amplifying each other’s strength.
Salomon Vassal captures the essence of endurance, infused by natural and physical endeavor. It embodies the harmony of mud and voices, a testament to the power of collective effort.
GR10K is a spin-off of a manufacturing company for uniforms and workwear with a military background. The label uses expertise, technology and aesthetic references and acts as a fashion link to open up various fields of application for fabrics and workwear.
GR10K does not have a unique identity. It straddles the tension between entrepreneurial and industrial creativity and deconstructs creative subjectivity. GR10K is organized and structured as an anti-identity collaborative group.
