Salomon and Kith have joined forces once more, launching a fresh collaboration as part of the Kith Women Spring 2025 collection. This partnership, while not their first rodeo together, brings an exciting update to Salomon’s lineup with the reintroduction of the XT-Whisper silhouette. The sneaker, which made a return to the market at the tail end of 2024, has been reimagined in two new colorways crafted specifically for this collection.

The newly unveiled XT-Whisper colorways, dubbed “Delicioso/Dark Citron” and “Vanilla/Transparent Yellow,” showcase Kith’s subtle yet distinct branding across various parts of the shoe including the tongue, heel, and sockliner. The “Delicioso/Dark Citron” variant uses a rich chocolate brown base for the upper, cleverly combined with silver and lime green overlays. The ACS (Advanced Chassis System) equipped sole melds white, gray, and lime green to create a visually striking yet functional base.

In contrast, the “Vanilla/Transparent Yellow” colorway opts for an off-white primary color that merges with silver and a gentle yellow to offer a softer palette. Its sole unit features a combination of milky white and yellow, capped off with a pristine white outsole.
The strategic collaboration between Salomon and Kith comes at a time when the demand for performance-oriented yet fashionable footwear is at an all-time high. By revisiting the XT-Whisper, both brands tap into a nostalgic yet innovative vein, appealing to both sneaker enthusiasts and fashion-forward consumers.
The release of these sneakers is timed with the debut of the Kith Women Spring 2025 collection, creating a synchronized launch that adds to the exclusivity of the collaboration. This latest project between Salomon and Kith not only underscores the enduring partnership between the two but also highlights their shared vision for delivering products that combine form and function.
