Carhartt WIP x Salomon X-ALP: The Ultimate Fusion of Workwear and Mountaineering Tech
The highly successful partnership between Carhartt WIP and Salomon is back and better than ever. This Fall/Winter 2025, the two brands have joined forces once again to bring us a utility-driven collaboration on the rugged X-ALP silhouette. And let us tell you, it’s a match made in heaven.
Black/Camo Colorway: The Epitome of “Gorpcore” Aesthetic
The Carhartt WIP x Salomon X-ALP is the perfect embodiment of the popular “gorpcore” trend. With a striking, nearly monochromatic jet black upper, this shoe is a masterclass in fusing authentic workwear durability with high-performance mountaineering technology. And let’s not forget the subtle patches of earthy duck camo, paying homage to Carhartt WIP’s military and workwear heritage.
Designed for the Trail and the City Tarmac
Not only does this shoe look good, but it’s also designed to perform. The X-ALP features a complex mixed-media blend of durable leather, synthetic overlays, and a protective rubber mudguard, making it perfect for both rugged conditions and city streets. And with Salomon’s core technologies, you can trust that this shoe will deliver on all fronts.
Collaborative Branding and Release Date
Collaborative branding can be found discreetly etched on the pull tabs and printed on the insoles, showcasing the seamless partnership between Carhartt WIP and Salomon. And mark your calendars, because the highly anticipated release is set for December 18, 2025, with a retail price of $200 USD. Don’t miss out on this unique and hard-wearing option for the cooler months.
