END. is channeling the beloved fruit with their latest collaboration with Salomon.
The long-established partners collaborated this past March on the Emerald XT-6, a nod in celebration of END.’s 20th anniversary. Now, the two are set to continue the celebration- and what is a party without some guacamole?
Terrible pun aside, the Avocado sneaker celebrates the staple of any market. Often confused to be a vegetable, the Avocado is able to transcend several cuisine styles. Thus, it has found itself a staple of several diets, no matter the countries cuisine you may be indulging in.
The same sentiment can be said about Salomon sneakers. Their styles, comfort, and functionality has allowed the brand to grow in popularity across the board. From hypebeasts to hikers, Salomon has gained a faithful audience of sneakerheads.
The XT-Whisper is having a year. The recently reintroduced sneaker has become the canvas for several projects, and it is the focal point of END.’s latest collaboration with Salomon.
END.’s XT-Whisper Void, the updated version of the sneaker, comes in a luscious Green colorway nestled in deep Black and light Cream hues that embrace the inspiration of the Central American fruit by mimicking the gradient seen once an Avocado is split open.
The sneaker features Salomon’s trademark Quicklace system, designed for quick and easy wear. It incorporates technical upgrades across the upper with 3D mesh and abrasion resistant TPU carving fluid lines across the body of the shoe. Printed with END. and Salomon branding on the tongue and heel, a rugged outsole offers premium support and grip with the French outdoors brands signature chevron lugs and patented mud Contragrip® for uneven surfaces. Complete with an insole detailed with avocado imagery, the END. x Salomon XT-Whisper Void is a love letter to the fruit without borders.
To celebrate the launch, END. and Salomon have transformed END.’s Sohoflagship store into a greengrocer ahead of the August 13th in store release.
The END. x Salomon XT-Whisper Void ‘Avocado’ retail for $170.00 and will launch on endclothing.com, Friday August 15th.
