The Salomon XT Quest 2 by L’Art De L’Automobile draws its inspiration from the aerodynamic language of automotive design, translating that vocabulary into a hiking boot built for considered exploration. The collaboration brings together Salomon’s engineering expertise with the French collective’s preoccupation with precision and visual harmony.
The result sits in sage green leather and technical fabric across the upper, anchored by a black rubber toe cap and midsole that grounds the silhouette with purposeful contrast. Forest green laces thread through metal eyelets, completing a palette that feels drawn from landscape rather than trend. The sole retains Salomon’s proprietary grip technology, ensuring the boot performs as decisively as it appears.
Every detail carries intention: the quilted upper suggests protective layering, the asymmetrical lace pattern adds visual rhythm, and the engineering remains subordinate to the overall composition. This is a boot that belongs as much to the considered wardrobe as it does to the mountain trail.
Available now at Dover Street Market London, both in the flagship store and through their online platform.
