BSTN and Salomon are working together for the first time, and the result is the Salomon x BSTN XT-6 '5 AM'. The Salomon x BSTN XT-6 releases on 10 October 2026, exclusively at the Munich-based retailer.
Let's take a look at what the two have put together:
When the night is still alive and the day is just beginning. A shoe made for the hours in between: city streets turning into trails, darkness turning into daylight, one experience naturally becoming the next.

The concept revolves around five in the morning: the quiet hour between night and day. You can see that moment in the iridescent upper, which changes character as soon as light hits it. Zig-zag contrast stitching runs across the tongue and adds some tension to the dark base.
The best detail sits inside. The insole fades from cool blue to warm orange, like the first glow of the morning. Under the laces you'll find a BSTN label carrying the slogan 'Common Ground'. According to both partners, it stands for their shared view on performance, design and contemporary culture. Logos from both brands also appear elsewhere on the silhouette.

The tech stays true to the XT-6
Beneath that layer of colour, the Salomon x BSTN XT-6 is still a proper XT-6. The upper is made of single-layer mesh with abrasion-resistant TPU, and the Mud Contagrip outsole has a rugged tread. On top of that you get agileCHASSIS, Quicklace, endoFit, SensiFit and an OrthoLite insole.
Our take: a strong design! You can see the 'the quiet hour before the day begins' inspiration in the colorway and its colours. As we've come to expect from BSTN, the fairly functional model gets a stylish twist that looks premium.

BSTN
BSTN, which runs a store in Hamburg alongside its shop in Munich, has often had the chance to put its own touch on some special designs in exciting collabs. We have come to know and love how they like to give familiar silhouettes a local or personal twist.
You see that most often with adidas. Around Oktoberfest, BSTN dropped its own adidas München in both 2025 and 2026, and its 'O.G. With A Twist' series gave the Handball Spezial and the Oregon Ultra Tech, among others, a fresh look. Together with FC Bayern Munich came the Jabbar Lo and basketball models such as the Dame 9 and Crazy 8 Low. New Balance joined in too, with a BSTN-exclusive colorway of the 1906U. Salomon is a new name on that list.
