Salomon (France) 2012, XT-WINGS 2, Trail-Luxury, Gorpcore SUNDAZED & OUTSIDE SOCIETY S.O.S. | sundazed.io/sos ...Salomon’s mountain-engineered trail shoe with Contragrip outsole, SensiFit overlays, and fashion-aligned alpine color blocking. Salomon’s XT-WINGS 2 encapsulates the brand’s alpine-rooted commitment to biomechanical precision, environmental adaptability, and high-performance design—a synthesis that reflects its evolution from post-war ski innovation to trail-running vanguard. Founded in 1947 in Annecy, France, Salomon has consistently prioritized structural ingenuity and ergonomic exactitude across its product lines, and the XT-WINGS 2 stands as a quintessential artifact of that philosophy. Emerging from Salomon’s transitional phase in the early 2010s, this trail-running shoe—positioned between the S-LAB performance series and the ACS Pro Advanced lineage—marries elite trail functionality with emergent fashion-forward cues, presaging the fusion of gorpcore and utilitarian athleticwear. Engineered for technical off-road terrains, the XT-WINGS 2 is structurally configured for alpine gradients, root-laden descents, and unstable forest paths, delivering lightweight propulsion, underfoot protection, and anatomical fit. Its upper is constructed from anti-debris mesh, synthetic micro-suede, and TPU-reinforced Sensifit overlays that integrate into the lacing framework.
