Geared towards protecting trail runners, helping them better adapt to the surrounding terrain, the XA-Alpine 2 is made to go beyond the tree line where the surroundings are unpredictable and oftentimes hostile. A protective gaiter encases the sneaker so you don’t have to worry about debris making its way inside the shoe, while a Contagrip rubber outsole provides unmatched traction on all types of mountain terrains. The XA-Alpine 2 is designed in collaboration with Salomon athletes, for athletes, but hey — if you can pull off a more casual look with this silhouette, we’re all for it.
