Introduction of Salomon

In 25 years, the Salomon family has grown from a small metal workshop to become the largest manufacturer of ski boots in the world through innovation and adoption. After a shift in vision and mission, Salomon has grown to become a leading provider of performance and functionality.

New Millennium

Despite always being more functional than fashionable, Salomon sneakers have been gaining traction in the streetwear industry. With a showroom at Paris Men's Fashion Week in 2018, Salomon has collaborated with brands like Palace Skateboards and Tokyo's And Wander, as well being seen on the feet of celebrities like Kanye West and Rihanna.

Through blending performance-focused technology with stylish designs, along with collaborations with popular brands, Salomon has been able to build its visibility and credibility in the fashion industry.
