The first collaboration between Asphaltgold and Salomon results in a striking release. The Asphaltgold x Salomon XT-4 'Transit' drops at the end of July 2025 and is more than just a visual statement: the design tells a story of movement, identity, and the increasingly blurred line between trail gear and city style.
The collaboration between the German streetwear institute and performance giant Salomon delivers a silhouette that is both technical and stylish. With its silver upper, ‘Lunar Rock’ tones, technical details, and translucent overlays, this design is a true eye-catcher.
That Asphaltgold is shaping this collaboration is no surprise. Over the past years, the German label has positioned itself as more than just a store: it is a curator of culture, with an eye for detail, aesthetics, and storytelling.
Asphaltgold x Salomon XT-4: the story behind the design
We also think the choice of the Salomon XT-4 model is smart. This silhouette is popular with both trail runners and fashion brands, thanks to its lightweight construction, robust ACS system, and distinctive Quicklace lacing system.
The hybrid design makes it a favorite: technical enough for the experts, but clean enough for the casual wearer.
This understated futuristic look fits seamlessly with the Gorpcore aesthetic, which has now become a must-have in streetwear. The full-length Agile Chassis™ and the robust grip sole provide optimal comfort. The XT-4 'Transit' design by Asphaltgold and Salomon shows that functional sneakers can be not only practical but also personal.
The story of travel and change is exactly what lies at the heart of this design. ‘Transit’ symbolizes movement: between cities, styles, and generations. According to the press release, the design is inspired by ‘the moments between departure and arrival.’ You can feel that when you look at the shoe. Even more so: the words “ARRIVAL” and “DEPARTURE”have been placed on the tongue labels.
