Chunky sneakers are having a moment, and the Salomon brand is at the forefront of the trend. If you've always been on the Salomon hype train but have found it hard to get your hands on these desirable kicks, then you'll be happy to know that the first Salomon brand store in Southeast Asia has just opened right here in Singapore.
Born in the French Alps, Salomon started out making ski boots before venturing into hiking footwear. Its shoes are technical and sturdy – built to survive the elements – but strategic collaborations with the likes of Palace, BEAMS, Comme des Garcons and more have cemented it as an 'it' brand.
At the Singapore store, you'll be able to find its full range of running, hiking, and lifestyle footwear. The hugely popular Sportstyle collection is one that you'll want to check out. The line includes the XT-6, a much sought-after shoe that is athlete-tested for long-distance running – but looks just as good when you're out and about in the city. You can also pick up the performance running S/LAB series, outdoor shoes like the X Ultra 5 Mid Gore Tex, and limited edition fashion kicks like the X-ALP for gr10k (dropping on February 3).
To complete your look, shop Salomon's sports and lifestyle apparel too. The store carries stylish sportswear and accessories, as well as lightweight hydration vests to keep you in tip-top condition on your outdoor adventures. And proving that it's more than just a retail destination, Salomon promises community initiatives in the future, including a Salomon running club and related events.
